This project will support Heart-to-Heart's initial communication with new contacts for board recruitment, donor cultivation, community outreach, and future annual reporting efforts. Although we have a beautiful annual report, it is too long to use in initial communication with new contacts, as well as too costly to print. We need a concise document that presents the key information that a new contact needs to absorb when first learning about Heart-to-Heart's work to help people affected by incarceration to heal, thrive, and become the leaders they are meant to be. Existing Materials Available Heart-to-Heart will provide:
- 2025 Annual Report
- Executive Impact Summary Master Toolkit
- Approved messaging framework
- Theory of Change
- Program descriptions
- Organizational branding assets
- Photos and logos
Heart-to-Heart Mission: Heart-to-Heart helps those marginalized by society and in the most need to heal, thrive, and become the leaders they are called to be. We do this by forming learning communities in and out of correctional facilities through which people develop skills essential for personal and societal healing. The skills are the MEDC (pronounced medic) skills of Mindfulness, Empathy, Decision making, and Conflict transformation. Apply tot his job Apply To this Job
