Social Media Content Calendar
Proposal
I am interested in working on social media content creation, content planning, and community outreach.

Website Audit
Proposal
Hi, I have heard the phrase "If you don't put in the work, nothing will change". Not for profits are agents of change, change for the better. My contribution to making things change for the better is through helping NFPs with their websites. I want to support your work, no matter what the topic is, because the goal is always to make people's lives better.
What I bring to the work is an understanding of business, communication, marketing, human interaction, user sensibilities, and website design. I put website design last because it flows from all the rest. If your website doesn't connect with the user (quickly), they click away.
Throughout history the main teaching, entertainment, and communication device has been stories. The best stories are always about people. Around the campfire, or on a website, we tell a story and it has to be told well. If your site is about personal development, tell the stories of your participants. If your website is basically factual, make it personal to the user somehow.
I can provide the structure for your website story through website design. My goal is to aid you in accomplishing your mission.
I prefer to work in WordPress, but will work in other platforms. Something I have done for clients (current and prospective) is to do a deep dive into their existing website and provide written suggestions.
I wish you great success and hope to get the chance to work with you.

Grant Application Review
Proposal
I've been helping organizations with strategy, planning, and evaluation for decades, both during my time at CDC and now with 60+ Catchafire projects. I've been part of the grant application process from "both sides of the counter". APPLICANT: As a consultant, I have submitted/ helped clients submit dozens of grant applications. Through the school of hard knocks I've developed a sense of how to structure an application for maximum success. REVIEWER: CDC sends 80% of its funds out the door via grants and RFPs. So I have EXTENSIVE experience reviewing grant applications for just about every issue you can imagine. And, through that, have a good sense of what makes a compelling application, and one that falls short. My main takeaway from the experiences as applicant and reviewer is that organizations are often too close to their program to make a compelling and succinct case for not just what they do, but what important IMPACT will result. Too many applicants dive into the details of what they are going to DO with the money--which is important and sets up a strong budget section. But they fail to explain why what they will do matters and/or how what they propose to do will accomplish those outcomes. Some outside coaching goes a LONG way on this. We'll use a "roadmapping (simple logic model)" approach; to help YOU clarify what you do and why it will matter. We may/may not put the visual in the application. BUT WE always use it to structure a very strong and compelling proposal.

Organizational Executive Summary
Proposal
I am interested in short trainings and facilitated sessions that help organizations integrate their mission, vision, and values into daily operations, as well as mission, vision, and values projects more broadly. I am currently guiding one nonprofit through this process and previously helped another, which adopted the language we developed. My approach follows a consistent arc, adapted to each organization: define values, discover the theory of change, and use it to define mission and vision. My background sits at the intersection of systems thinking, equity-centered design, and organizational practice. I bring over nine years in nonprofits, including designing trainings that had to reflect organizational values accurately to funders and stakeholders, and DEI and cultural competency facilitation that keeps me attentive to whose voices shape the work.

Flexible Copywriting Support
Proposal
I'm Nizar, a Senior Social Media Manager and Strategist with 7+ years of experience turning social media into a mission engine for small and mid-size nonprofits. My work has generated $36K+ in verified savings for nonprofit organizations, and I'd love to bring that same value to your cause.
My philosophy is simple: Every post, campaign, and interaction should serve a purpose and drive measurable results. I blend compelling storytelling with deep data analysis, so your message reaches the right people, and you get monthly insights you can actually act on.
What I can help you with:

Facilitated Strategy Session
Proposal
Does your nonprofit have more priorities than your board and staff can realistically move forward? Through Nonprofit Now, I offer a free, one-hour facilitated strategy session to help your leadership team clarify what matters most and start moving in the same direction. Together, we’ll explore where competing priorities are creating friction, draft one meaningful 90-day priority, and clarify board and staff responsibilities for advancing it. You’ll leave with a practical worksheet and conversation guide to help your team turn the discussion into action. This session is a focused starting point for building shared direction and momentum.

Flexible Tech Support
Proposal
Small nonprofit teams often have a backlog of tech problems: tools that don't talk to each other, messy data, or systems nobody fully understands. I enjoy untangling those in a focused few weeks.
What I bring:

Website Management Training (CMS-Based)
Proposal
Many nonprofits depend on one person, or an outside vendor, to update their website. I enjoy training teams so they can manage their own site confidently.
What I bring:

Website Audit
Proposal
A good website audit gives a nonprofit a clear, prioritized picture of what's working and what's holding the site back, so limited time and budget go where they matter most.
What I bring:

Flexible Web Development Support
Proposal
A flexible, focused block of web development help is often what a small team needs most: fixing what's broken, shipping overdue improvements and getting the site running smoothly again.
What I bring:

Website Major Update
Proposal
I enjoy helping nonprofits make bigger changes to their websites: new pages, reworked layouts, clearer navigation and custom functionality that shows off their programs.
What I bring:

Website Minor Update
Proposal
I enjoy minor website updates because small, careful changes can make a nonprofit's site feel current and trustworthy without a costly rebuild.
What I bring:
