Monthly Nonprofit Writing Prompts

Do you need newsletter ideas? Aren’t sure what you should post on social media or write about on your blog?

Let’s take some of the grief out of nonprofit writing and smash through your writer’s block!

Sign up for our Nonprofit Writing Prompts e-newsletter and we’ll send you more than 10 prompts every month to get you thinking more creatively and strategically about what you’ll write.

At the start of each month, we’ll send you an email with the prompts to get you thinking about articles, stories, press releases, blog posts, Facebook updates, letters, and other content that you could write for the following month.

What You’ll Get Every Month:

  • On the Calendar. We’ll highlight special dates every month and give you some tips on how you can incorporate them into your writing.

  • Metaphor of the Month. We’ll give you a theme you can use to help make your complicated messages feel more familiar.

  • Pop Culture, Events, and News. We’ll take a look at what the world will be talking about in the month ahead.

  • Source of the Month. You’ll learn about different places to find inspiration for your writing.

How Katie Gustainis Vela of Rosie’s Place uses the prompts:

“These are fabulous and so helpful! Your writing prompts help me as I prepare my social media content calendar for the month. They also serve as jumping off points, especially during the months we’re creating newsletter content. I find that even if I don’t end up referencing a specific holiday or metaphor, thinking about content in a timely context will result in better content that is more relevant to our audiences’ daily lives. Thank you for what you do.”
