Nonprofit & Community

Serving others often means you get served last. That's just the way it is sometimes in nonprofit, education, local government or other community-outreach organizations. We can help you change that. Our consultants have built grassroots- and media-awareness campaigns, obtained media sponsorships, developed cause-marketing programs, media-trained staff and volunteers and written and given speeches, as well as acted as spokespeople with media to promote a variety of causes including tobacco cessation, colon cancer screening, major-event fundraising and more.

Among the organizations our team has served:

- AIDS Emergency Fund
- American Cancer Society
- Argonne National Laboratory
- Council of Public Relations Firms
- FamilyPaths (formerly Parental Stress Service)
- Junior League of San Francisco
- Ronald McDonald House Charities
- California AIDS Ride
- Youth in Arts

Our leadership believes in being a part of the industries we serve. We actively support or volunteer with several community organizations, including the American Cancer Society, the San Francisco AIDS Foundation/AIDS Life Cycle, AIDS Emergency Fund, the Junior League of San Francisco and others. Hart Communications is also a member of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce and the Golden Gate Business Association.

 CASE STUDY


Family Paths (formerly Parental Stress Service, Inc.), a San Francisco Bay Area nonprofit providing free child abuse prevention and counseling services to local families, needed to bolster its funding and visibility amid severe state budget cuts that threatened to cripple the agency.  In a bold move, the organization decided to hold a high-profile benefit concert  featuring the unlikely duo of Irish singing star Mary Black and Oakland-based soul diva Ledisi. The concert was timed to connect March’s Irish Arts Month with the start of April’s Child Abuse Prevention Month.

On a pro bono basis, Hart Communications developed an integrated promotional effort that paired entertainment promotion with education on a critical health/social issue. Hart created press materials, secured a media sponsorship, pitched local press and staffed the event.  The result was a well-attended concert that  surpassed attendance, fundraising and media awareness expectations.
