Communications and Marketing for Non-Profits
Transforming communication for social impact
ABOUT US
We are a communications consultancy for nonprofits founded and run by Tendai, a communications professional with extensive experience in the nonprofit sector. Nonprofits face many challenges in developing and maintaining effective communications, including limited resources, lack of a clear communications strategy, inadequate skills and expertise, and difficulties in measuring the impact of their communications efforts. At KwameTendai, we understand these challenges and can help nonprofits overcome them. We offer a range of services to suit your budget, including developing communications strategies, creating compelling messaging and branding, providing media relations support, managing social media, and providing training and coaching to build your team's communication skills. Non-profits can also outsource all their communications needs to us. Our goal is to help nonprofits communicate their mission and goals effectively to their stakeholders and ultimately achieve greater impact.
