Nonprofit Buzzword Bingo - Get Your Game Cards Now!
Writing is a really tough chore for a lot of nonprofit staff, which is one reason why I’m teaching a webinar called “Nonprofit Writing Stinks: How to Bring Your Writing Back to Life” on Wednesday of this week. I want to share some fairly easy tricks that I’ve learned over the years that will take some of the mystery out of good nonprofit copywriting.
As part of the webinar, I’ll poke fun at the buzzwords we use in the nonprofit sector. I’ve added a Nonprofit Buzzword Bingo game to Nonprofit Marketing Guide.com as a webinar bonus and you can play along too! I’m as guilty as anyone when it comes to using the words in the game, so let it be a fun reminder for all of us, professional writers or not!
You can also add tech terms to the nonprofit buzzwords (select “Nonprofit and Tech Buzzwords” from the drop-down menu), creating an nptech version, and you can customize your cards by adding your own words and deleting others from the list. If you feel certain buzzwords are worthy of permanent listing in the game, feel free to leave a comment on this post and I’ll consider adding them.
Thanks to Lukertech for the script!
“Perfect storm”. Not just a favorite of non-profits and George Clooney fans, either. I’m going to cloud up and rain on whoever uses this phrase with me next.
Kivi, this is a superfun idea. I can’t play in staff meetings, because with only 8 people it’s too conspicuous, but I can’t wait to play when I get cold-called by sales reps. Thanks for an injection of humor in my workday!
I can’t believe you didn’t include “overarching.” (I don’t even know if that’s one word or two!) BTW, your Nonprofit Writing Stinks! Webinar was terrific!
Margaret and Bonnie,
I’m going to add your suggestions right now!
Thanks for your support,
Kivi
