A bit of Massey background…
• We are young and growing up quickly!
• Development Communication Goals:> Consistency> Condense message> Make research personal> Actively engage audience in
the message
The starting point
All of our communications should inspire giving by addressing:
– VALUE of the mission (why is it important?)
– NEED for funds (what will we do with the funds?)
– IMPACT of philanthropy (how are people’s lives affected? How do individual gifts make a difference in our mission?)
The most compelling stories will not be told by me.
Guiding Principle #3
Foster first-person testimony of the importance of investing in cancer research.
Research for Life Campaign Launch
• Purpose: to launch public phase of campaign and inspire giving on all levels
• Key messages:– Every dollar counts, anyone can help – Massey’s mission matters to us all as individuals
and a community– Make research relatable on a human level
