As a non profit you need maximum exposure for your cause, events, achievements and and future plans. The more people know about the good you, the more likely they get encouraged to do the same or even more.
Non profit organizations tend to easily forget the PR side of things and expect to gain media attention solely because of what they do. While this may sound logical enough, unfortunately, public awareness is not a right but a price.
The more engagements you create with the media, the more media traction you stand to generate. Press release can help you achieve this faster. You can literally have you press release published on over 350 media sites.
Key Components of a Non Profit Press Release Format
- The title: is very important since it helps you improve CTR (Click-Through-Rate). You should make your title compelling but not look like a click-bait. Avoid using words that promise a particular amount of returns, negatively portray a third party or de-humanize.
- The 5 Ws: A well-written press release must cover the What, Why, When, Who, and Where. These are called the 5 Ws of a press release. Crafting your press release around those key points, will help you convey your message in the most precise way possible.
- The Second Paragraph: The second paragraph should built on the first paragraph which covers the 5 Ws. Use the second paragraph to further explain why the press release is important.
- Quotes: A press release is hardly complete without a quote from a top level executive or owner of the company. This helps in adding some authentication to the press release and a good opportunity to share your company’s thoughts with your target audience.
- Boiler Plate: This is the last part of a press release. The Boiler plate is the section where you write about the company.
