Associations & Nonprofit

Associations and nonprofits have unique and distinct public relations opportunities. Whether representing an industry, a profession or a social cause, an association or nonprofit organization can speak with authority as a lead source or expert in its field. With strategic planning and communications, the group can:

• Generate extensive, ongoing media coverage that will reach its key target audiences;
• Increase awareness about its programs and services
• Build a profile for its industry, profession or cause
• Advance its agenda in Washington and nationwide
• Stage successful meetings, conferences and tradeshows
• Promote products and services
• Recruit and retain members, partners and/or donors

Environics Communications understands the needs of associations and nonprofits, such as lobbying and advocacy, member and partner relations, revenue growth, patient education and consumer awareness. With our extensive association/nonprofit experience, we can help your organization raise awareness and funding and influence key audiences regarding critical issues.

Regardless of an organization's size or communications goals, Environics works to develop a partnership that meets an association's immediate and long-term needs and delivers results that support its overall mission. Whether working on a project or on an ongoing basis, Environics can complement internal communications staff or function independently to develop and implement a comprehensive strategic communications program from start to finish.

From our experience, we understand the unique challenges that are inherent in messaging and communicating for a diverse membership association or a nonprofit organization that has huge communications goals but limited funds. Environics is adept at reinforcing consistent messaging, so organizational leadership, members, coalitions or field representatives speak with one unified voice. We also know how to manage the process and adhere to protocol, so members or volunteers feel fairly treated and share in the wealth of media attention we generate.

Environics is a full-service public relations agency with a multitude of current association/nonprofit clients and related experience. We've worked in trade, professional and nonprofit organizations, both large and small. We've promoted social causes and represented groups in the advertising, banking and financial services, health sciences, industrial security, manufacturing, recycling, and travel/tourism industries, among others. We're active members of multiple marketing, nonprofit, public relations and professional organizations. We have numerous relevant case histories and client references, and we look forward to discussing how we can bolster awareness, generate support and increase membership - and the bottom line - of your organization.
