Nonprofit Game of Tag

It's all in the tagline.  A tagline is a quick phrase that tells what your organization is about. Taglines can strengthen and reinforce your brand, help describe what you do, and reinforce your organization's name or mission in the minds of your prospects and supporters.

Don't have a tagline.  Here are some suggestions when creating one:

• Make sure your tagline is consistent with your organization's name, positioning statement and key messages
• Use action word and emphasize emotion
• Ensure your tagline is easy to say and spell and sounds pleasant
• Be specific as possible
• Stand behind your tagline and keep it for 7-10 years
