Strategic communication capacity building

Strategic Communication Capacity Building addresses questions essential to an organization’s mission, operations, and sustainability. These questions include: 

• What are the core messages of our program and its impact? Which audiences do we want to communicate those messages to? And what actions do we want those audiences to take? 

• How can we communicate about our program, or organization, in a way that resonates with potential funders—in order to sustain our work beyond a particular grant or funding period?

• How can we galvanize staff, across all aspects of the organization, to communicate consistently, and compellingly, about our core mission, messages, and point of view? 

Eoan Strategies will customize Strategic Communication Capacity Building sessions to fit an organization’s goals, needs, and expectations, and the structure can range from a single session to a series of sessions—virtually and/or in-person. In addition, we can offer follow-up targeted TA to an organization, or specific staff, to go deeper into, and practice, what we learned during the session(s). 

Eoan can also help the program or organization implement any strategies and tactics covered during the Capacity Building session(s). Participants will receive leave-behind tools and a list of resources following each session. 

Audiences for Strategic Communication Capacity Building include: 

• Regional, Community, and Family Foundations—and Their Grantees 
• Nonprofit Organizations 
• Municipal, County, State, and Federal Agencies
• Businesses

We also can combine components of different packages to create a more customized approach. Each package also includes Eoan time for prep; project kick-off; understanding of partner’s goals and expectations and work; tools development; and follow-up.
