Edmonton Chamber of Voluntary Organizations
Every non-profit needs more capacity. We help give them the skills.
Recognizing our expertise in communicating in the non-profit sector, the Edmonton Chamber of Voluntary Organizations reached out to us to develop an online communications course for their membership.
The course details our strategic process, so that non-profits — especially small startups — can learn how to develop an actionable communications strategy, even if they’re doing communications off the side of their desk.
The course guides learners through the foundational aspects of values, mission and vision, and how those elements relate to their messaging. It instructs how to analyze audiences, and how to connect based on values, even when there may seem to be a values divide.
Finally, the course offers some tactical suggestions for how to plan day-to-day communications, as well as targeted communications campaigns.

ECVO also worked with us to develop a communications strategy for their own client, the Edmonton Local Immigration Partnership. Grounded in more than 100 immigrant-serving agencies and groups, we guided the community-led group through our strategic process, working closely with them to develop their mission, vision and values, key messaging, audience analysis and tactics to deliver on their vision.
Closely connected to the work we have done with the annual State of Settlement and Immigration Reports, the immigration landscape is well known to us, as are many of the partners. So it was rewarding to help them take their next steps as a partnership, and to create a more inclusive Edmonton for newcomers to the city.
