SMF Connection

We've observed a rather interesting phenomenon within our SMF Network Members and Affiliate Partnerships. In just the first 5 months of 2009 we've had several of our organizations experience some international media attention through mediums like CNN's Larry King Live, CNN Heroes, CNN featured stories internationally, a movie release, international press, and web promotions. These are great examples of precisely what we've tried to encourage. In the midst of a down-turned economy it is critically important to be highly visible, leveraging all media types to tell your story to as many different demographics as possible. Despite bleak economic reports there are still philanthropists who are keeping alive humanitarian response efforts. NGO's need to share their stories of opportunity with as wide an audience as possible. The rewards are simply too valuable to deny. When the economy returns, organizations who have invested in broad marketing and media exposure will have the benefit of resources as well as new partnerships in varied demographics. It is an opportunity that expresses itself exponentially.

Special Missions Foundation can be your vehicle for engaging in strategies of sustaining strength and presence. Through Affiliated Partnership, SMF dedicates resources of time and energy to ensure our Partners have thoroughly prepared and are actively involved in programs with design and purpose.
