5-Minute Message: Building Strength by Helping in Haiti
The Haiti earthquake is generating extraordinary worldwide support. Even the smallest, most under-funded agency can make a huge difference right now! Some low-cost, high-impact practices to adopt:
- post related, accurate information on your website, to your social media channels, and to your email lists
- educate your community to help them donate wisely and effectively
- poll your partners to see if they are organizing an effort that you can support
- speak up and advocate for your sister agencies (aka “do unto others”). If they are impacted by the disaster they may need help championing their own relief and recovery efforts
This disaster is an opportunity to flex your capacity to share resources, educate your constituents, and mobilize your assets. Make your own agency stronger by flexing these critical muscles now.
