A lot of wonderful things are going on here at NCGives, and one that I'm particularly excited about is a new partnership with NonprofitMarketingGuide.com's Kivi Leroux Miller.

Over the next several months, Kivi (a nationally recognized nonprofit marketing guru who happens to live right here in North Carolina) is going to be working with me as we refine NCGives' marketing and communications. But here's the really neat part - we decided we want other nonprofits to be able to benefit from our experiences as well, and so we are pleased to bring you Kivi's new blog series, "Behind-the-Scenes at NCGives."

As a smaller-sized organization experiencing opportunities for growth, we will be working on many of those communications challenges that are common to most small nonprofits, and Kivi will chronicle this real-life journey on her blog. NCGives is honored to have this chance to shed some light on what we learn throughout this process, and we hope it will be useful to nonprofits all over North Carolina and beyond!
