The 2019 Report
The 2019 Nonprofit Communications Trends Report is compiled from the answers of the almost 600 nonprofit professionals who took our 2019 Nonprofit Communications Trends Survey in November, 2018.
They answered these and other questions.
- How effective do nonprofit communicators believe they are at achieving specific goals like community engagement and brand management?
- *Which communications strategies are the biggest priorities (e.g., content marketing, advertising, word of mouth marketing, permission-based marketing, etc.)?
- What’s your annual salary?
- How big is your communications team and budget?
- *What types of videos did you create in 2018?
- *What will your next annual report look like?
- *What software do you use for internal messaging and your editorial calendar?
- *Is communications valued as strategic within your nonprofit and is your professional expertise respected?
*These questions were NEW this year.
We also asked several personal and organization demographic questions to look for any interesting differences in the sector.
