I donate my skills to nonprofit organizations whose missions I believe in—think left-leaning causes such as climate change, diversity & inclusion, community health, global poverty, LGBTQIA+ rights, etc.
I turned some of the live content webinars I developed for clients into DIY courses for nonprofits—and added these courses to a Google Drive folder along with books, reports, and other resources that my team and I created over the years for our content clients and for the students of my freelance writing courses. See below for a description of all the resources you can have for nada.
I don't ask for or expect payment, and there's no upsell or anything for sale on the back end. I'm not looking for work. And I won't add you to any lists. This is a personal passion project. (In other words, there is no catch.)
More than 35 nonprofits have used these resources to help improve their marketing and communications.
