100 people are a little less hungry tonight. #poverty #homeless #hungry #charity #nonprofit

During my downtime, I help deliver groceries to the elderly. I was out of breath in the video because the bags were heavy lol. You can’t really tell from the video, but each person got two big bags of groceries, one bag of frozen meat, one giant sack of fruit, and one big bag of random stuff for the house. With the development of the app that we want to build, we are confident that it will generate enough revenue through in-app advertising to hire more people to do this (help

It went from 150 burgers to over 1,000 burgers to feed the homeless. Since I have so many patties right now, what else should I make with the patties besides burgers (for variety)? #zyroz #homelessness #pverty #hungry #nonprofit #501c3 #blm #charity

Do you have any suggestions on what we can do to help out the community, in addition to feeding the homeless? #ZYroz #ppe #blm #homeess #nonprofit #charity #volunteer

As you do more research during your pre-launch, most likely your project video will need to be updated. Typically, projects evolve once you start talking about it in your online communities. Take advantage of their knowledge. You never know, they might spark an idea. #ZYroz #blm #marketing #crowdfunding #kickstarter #indiegogo #nonprofit #501c3 #charity #networking #covid

You are going to need a different type of press release for each target audience you have. With my project, one target audience is minority business owners; but another target audience is church going mothers. Those two audiences are so different that it may feel like you are running multiple campaigns. Take your time and make each word count because this is what is going to capture future clients.

For those who are having a hard time finding (or pitching) influencers, they can join companies that bring influencers to them. Brands would pay the company initially. The company processes the work and hires an influencer on the brand’s behalf. These are usually “freemium” services with free trials. Build the list now and utilize their services near the campaign start date. That way you can use their services for your campaign and stop when it’s over. #ZYroz #blm #marketing

A good way to get new group members is to share other people’s content related to your group. #ZYroz #blm #marketing #crowdfunding #kickstarter #indiegogo #nonprofit #charity #networking #covid

I decided to join 3 online communities (Facebook, LinkedIn and Reddit). It’s easy to join other groups, but having people join yours might take a little work. Try to go old school and get to know people in other communities first before approaching them. You will end up with more engagement. So for today and tomorrow, all I’m going to do is comment and like anything interesting that I see in the group and really try to get to know these people. #ZYroz #blm #marketing #crowdfu

Online communities are key to finding your YES people. These are the people that you don’t have to convince to back you during your campaign. That’s because this is where most of the engagement happens. When you positively engage with other members, more often than not they will help with your campaign one way another. For members who cannot afford to donate, they usually help by sharing. The more people who know about your project, the more successful it will be. Over the we

I had reached out to black churches and organizations that serve communities of color. We wanted information on what resources are needed in which areas. Efficiency is key to making this initiative flow smoothly. When reaching out to large organizations, they might not have the same insight as talking to people who actually live in the areas that I think need help. We are learning that more people are interested in PPE and sustenance, as opposed to transportation and enter

Earlier today I’ve finally picked which banking institution I want to go with. I’ve chosen a black owned credit union called InTouch Credit Union. Ownership is held by account holders because it’s a nonprofit institution. After meeting with them and putting in applying, we knew that this was the company to choose. Their customer service skills are extraordinary and they have a guidance and education team. This team will help us provide full transparency when it comes to finan
