Delaney Mullennix, host of the Nonprofit Hub Radio Podcast, interviews Taylor Shanklin of branding firm Barlele about Nonprofit Brand Promise.

Does your nonprofit brand include the essential elements it needs to differentiate you from everyone else? Your nonprofit brand has an essence, "the intrinsic nature or indispensable quality". The brand you choose for your nonprofit promises different things to different groups of people; your staff, your donors, your board, and your community.

Mandy Anderson, founder of Lake Effect kitchen in West Michigan that hires and trains employees with disabilities to maintain jobs. What started as a kitchen has expanded into Eat Well Do Good, which is the first local non-government agency in the Michigan area to work with businesses to offer grants and funding for paid employees with disabilities.

Nonprofits are all about building inclusive communities and equitable work but when we talk about growing as a community, we have to include all members of that community, regardless of ability, and recognize that all are stakeholders and bring something to the table.

Having an inclusive and flexible mindset is applicable to all organizations; being rigid in who you think about of as your audience or potential members/employees not only limits your own organization's potential, but the potential of everyone in your community. Hear Mandy share more about how you can help to make sure everyone finds a place to belong and bring value to the workforce.
