Hey. I am from Trinidad. I started an ngo 6 years ago, however it still havent gotten of the gound as yet. I almost gave up. Your videos gave me much needed motivation.

[@AmberMelanieSmith]

That is wonderful to hear!

I have a non profit to rescue street dogs in Altagracia de Orituco, Venezuela. I just discovered your channel minutes ago. Your content is amazing.

I have been writing articles for our nonprofit and another. I have joined networking groups that yhe media is a part of. This lead to getting our nonprofit on the front page. I also post on The Patch, an online news of the neighborhood. Our community has a networking group and if I hashing their name on a Facebook post, they pick it up for their page. Channel 5 news has a segment People Making a Difference. I nominated my husband and our nonprofit and he was awarded a certificate and airtime!

Thanks for this video! I have recently joined the board of a non profit in a small town (4000 people) and we are looking for ways to reach beyond our town. So this is great! If you have any other ideas, I would love to hear about it!

Happy New Year to you too!

Hey. New to the channel. Enjoying the content; but our nonprofit Annointed Hands Ministries got media attention on alignable just after creating a profile, it was crazy and shocking and I was scared and I didn't know what to talk about. So I just talked and they put EVERYTHING IN THE ARTICLE, SO now I know to be more structured and not go on a rampage; BUT AGAIN you never know whose watching you.

[@AmberMelanieSmith]

Also true! Important to know your key messages and talking points always!
