The real stars of BUZZ are all of the nonprofit organizations that provide services that would otherwise go unfulfilled in our communities.
The United States is blessed with thousands of nonprofits that care for our community – homeless shelters and rescue squads to children’s choirs and art museums.
As skilled and passionate as these organizations are in fulfilling their missions, they often lack the time or expertise or personnel or bandwidth to properly promote their organization. This lack of good marketing — this shortage of buzz, if you will — limits their ability to reach more prospective clients, patrons, volunteers and donors who will further their cause.
