Marketing is foundational for every part of your nonprofit. Whether you want to serve more people, get more support, or spread the word on your issue, marketing is what makes it happen.

You're an expert on your issue and bent on making the world a better place. But you're also:  

  • Overcomplicating marketing and being paralyzed into inaction

  • Second-guessing your role and skills because you're not seeing marketing results

  • Feeling like you can't possibly move the needle with your tiny marketing budget and staffing

  • Exhausted by throwing spaghetti on the wall and on the verge of total burnout 

  • Forgetting why being in the nonprofit space sounded like such a good idea

(I've been there too.)

The thing is, you don't need an MBA and a million-dollar budget to be a good nonprofit marketer.

 
 
 

You need a marketing plan that is simple, focused, and leveraged.

 
 
 
 

The Thrive Activator is a self-paced program that teaches nonprofit leaders like you how to develop simple and laser-sharp marketing plans. You’ll learn the nonprofit marketing fundamentals that will last your career and develop a marketing roadmap ready to activate. 

After the Thrive Activator, many of my students:

  • Start seeing RESULTS from all of their hard marketing work

  • Know exactly how to target their audience with relevant content

  • Become crystal clear on their marketing goals and how to tackle them 

  • Have transformational messaging that breaks through the noise and compels action

  • Become a confident nonprofit marketer with a new set of marketing tools

  • Become equipped to streamline and automate their marketing processes and get back to what they do best—making an impact and changing lives.

Loved the Thrive Activator. Maria shared lots of innovative tips that I hadn’t heard before in my 15+ years in communications. Her information is easy to immediately put into action even for a small team. I feel like this will make a big impact on our work to engage our supporters.

“Just completed Maria Bryan’s Thrive Activator course! This week, Maria helped me dive deeper and get into the nitty-gritty of my marketing strategy for HVAF. I worked on creating a more specific target audience for my content, set goals, and now have a marketing campaign that’s *almost* ready to launch! Thanks, Maria, for sharing your wisdom with me. I look forward to implementing all that I learned into future HVAF marketing campaigns, so we can continue helping veterans off of the streets and into a life of self-sufficiency.”
- LAUREN CARPENTER, HVAF OF INDIANA

“I took the Thrive Marketing [Training], and it was so helpful. I left totally motivated and with actionable and manageable next steps that I feel, even with limited time and resources, my team can implement. I have a staff meeting on Wednesday that I’m going to be sharing this during, and I’m really excited to get the rest of the team involved. This deck is going to be so helpful.”

“Maria teaches you to create a marketing plan by breaking the process down into easy-to-do steps. I learned a lot about the basics of marketing through her workshop. I especially liked the hands-on aspect of this workshop. It made the content easier to absorb, and I could better envision how I would use the tools in real-world practice.”
