How can you manage communications with one person or no staff?

About this Episode

Some nonprofits have little to no staff managing communications, and almost all communications teams are overwhelmed. Farra Trompeter, co-director, talks with Menaka Chandurkar, director of strategy at Big Duck, about how small teams can work smarter, not harder. Menaka shares a scaled-down, five-step process: define your goals, focus on the audiences that matter most, take stock of what you already have, prioritize ideas by effort and reward, and set boundaries that protect your time. They also cover simple ways to learn from your community on a small budget, how to bring in volunteers and board members for targeted tasks, and how to use AI with human review built in.
