Community Brief:

The State of Non-Profit and Association Communities

Non-Profit and Association community programs differ from their for-profit peers in many ways. From constrained budgets to staff with many roles, we understand that general best practices are not always applicable for these communities. That's why we've partnered with Forj to provide this Community Brief dedicated to the state of community at non-profits and associations.

Download this brief to learn:

  1. The unique challenges association communities face, how they differ from their for-profit peers, and prescriptive advice to improve their performance.
  2. How the Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN) successfully migrated their community to a new platform, increasing member engagement and providing better analytics, all on a mobile-friendly community solution.
  3. The top five recommendations for associations to get their community programs to the next level.

We based our analysis on our industry-leading research on the State of Community Management, comparing and contrasting practitioner responses based on their industry. The resulting brief is full of insights to help you and your team maximize your time AND make the case for additional resources to make your community best-in-class.
