Unsurprisingly, some of my favorite museums are small, funky places run by iconoclasts—but that’s not useful to most professionals who work for organizations in which they have little control over size or leadership matters.

Others are looking at no demand at all, and with it, no revenue, because their mission involved gathering large groups of people in places like theaters, galleries, and museums. This year more than ever, nonprofits will struggle to secure funding, and for many, even clients. Why is nonprofit marketing so important? You’re not.
