I just closed a non-profit as a client. It not only is good work, but rewarding as well. I get to help inspired people. This is a great gig for a content marketer and/or copywriter.

Elizabeth, you have far more experience writing for nonprofits than I have. I have done significant volunteer work with nonprofits in a variety of roles (not just limited to writing), so I know that staff and volunteers can definitely be overworked.

Hi John – I’ve had the most experience working with non-profits in my career, from full-time work, to consulting, to writing and teaching. I love the passion that is needed to keep most non-profits moving ahead. I love the creativity, but I don’t love the often under-resourced/overworked staff. Have you ever had a client (as I have) ask you to contribute in ways that exceeded what was set forth in your contract? Have they ever blurred the line between volunteering & paid work?

Love this article. I am not limiting my services to non-profits, but I am creating a special focus on non-profits as my USP (unique selling proposition). I decided to highlight this as a service because I spent six years working in the non-profit sector and feel I am in a good position to assist them with funding proposals, appeal letters, donor reports and so on. So I am basically using my experience in the non-profit sector as leverage to hopefully gain some clients in that area.
