STRATEGIC SUMMER MOVES
Communications Strategy to Launch
BlackFemaleProject Nonprofit Corporation

Central to BlackFemaleProject’s communications work is our goal to increase the reach and impact of BlackFemaleProject. In order to do this, we must position ourselves for large ﬁnancial investments by officially launching and operationalizing the organization as a nonproﬁt corporation. We will create a strategic plan, activate our governance structure, secure ﬁnancial support, establish an independent office space, and hire staff rather than relying solely on volunteer support. With this, BlackFemaleProject will be moving toward becoming a fully functional organization that attracts sponsorship and garners publicity and earned media.
