Hey nonprofits! Mark your calendars to join us for Nonprofits North on Thursday, August 20 from 2-3pm at the PNRC in the Wexford Baierl.com Automotive Conference Center and hosted by our own PNRC Board Chair Tom Baker! Nonprofit members and non-members alike are welcome!
Our guest will be Marissa Luznar, the Founder and CEO of Candid Communications, a strategic marketing and communications firm. With nearly 20 years of experience across the private, public, and nonprofit sectors, she helps organizations communicate their value, demonstrate their impact, and inspire the people they need to engage and support their work.
Strong fundraising campaigns don’t begin with a theme, a brochure or an appeal letter. They begin with a clear story, credible proof of impact and an organization that is prepared to communicate both consistently. During her presentation, she will explore common communications gaps that can quietly weaken capital campaigns, annual appeals, milestone initiatives and other major fundraising efforts - even when the mission is compelling and the need is real.
Nonprofits North is presented by Clearview Federal Credit Union. Registration is free, and available here: https://members.pghnorthchamber.com/events/details/nonprofits-north-presented-by-clearview-fcu-08-20-2026-16078
