Do you know Rick Schwartz? If you're a nonprofit organization or a community foundation, you should.

He's a public relations and strategic planner (aka communications guru) for nonprofits and community foundations (and he's on the Embolden Board of Advisors and he's a down-to-earth, nice guy, who will always tell you the truth...which is why his business is called StraightTalk).

Anyway, he knows more than a few things about nonprofits and community foundations, as he spent years on staff helping to grow The Rhode Island Foundation, one of the country's leading community foundations.

Now he sends out enewsletters regularly (that you can receive yourself) and we thought you would be particularly interested in his most recent one. He relays some really helpful information about engaging your constituents with ebroadcasts, short news blasts you can send out every few weeks via email.

Rick gives ideas for what to write and how to write and he promises more on the topic in a few weeks. And this is Rick, so you can believe him.
