Hello, Is It You I'm Looking For? Understanding Your Audience with Persona Building
Americans interact with foundations and nonprofits on a daily basis, but research shows that most people don’t know what philanthropy actually does. How do you reach the communities you work with and communicate the work you do? Enter personas.
Persona building is an essential tool for grantmakers as they try to form meaningful connections with grantees and communities. Attend this session to learn how to use research to understand the values, worldviews, and identities of your audiences, and craft messages that actually resonate with the people you’re trying to reach.
