Marketing For Hope
Supporting nonprofits in the Ozarks during the COVID-19 Crisis.
BUY A SHIRT. BE THE CHANGE.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
Margaret Mead
THE PROBLEM
Greene County alone has 2,770 registered nonprofit organizations. The Springfield metro area has 3,521 nonprofits. Many have had to stop providing critical services due to the COVID-19 crisis. Nonprofits are being forced to find alternative ways to provide their services and to communicate crucial information to those they serve, and they have to do it fast.
THE SOLUTION
When the COVID-19 crisis hit, our group started looking at how we could use our skills to provide targeted assistance to help area nonprofit organizations. Our goal is to help nonprofits stay as functional as possible through the crisis by providing extra marketing, communication and even some IT services completely free of charge. Here are just a few ways we can help nonprofits through this crisis period: Social media management, graphic design, website design, advanced web solutions (such as online booking, ordering, scheduling, teaching and testing), assisting with live streams, assisting with video editing and other types of digital content creation, blogging, media relations and public relations.
Of course we’re like everyone else in this. We’re just trying to make it and keep the lights on. To fund our efforts, we’re selling t-shirts. Although this crisis has brought a lot of negative to the Ozarks, there’s still no other place we would rather “Stay at Home.”
HOW YOU CAN HELP
1. Buy a t-shirt to remember this time and the folks that came together to help each other through this rough patch here in the Ozarks.
2. Donate directly to Community Foundation of The Ozarks COVID-19 Response and Recovery Fund set up to assist nonprofits struggling financially through the crisis. Funding is always important to any relief effort.

WHO WE ARE
We’re a group of small businesses, freelancers, contractors, artists and just plain ol’ normal folks who decided that the good has to start somewhere. We’re all stuck inside anyway. Yes, most of us are losing work to this virus, but none of our jobs regularly involve feeding the homeless, helping people with disabilities live full, happy lives, or ensuring our nation’s veterans are well taken care of. But that’s the type of work nonprofits do. And they need help right now.
