Breaking news: press releases are a gold mine. You already know that your events make a difference in your community, but through press releases, that impact can be magnified. Press releases help your nonprofit reach a wider audience and showcase your mission and great work. The first goal of a press release is to let the public know about your event. If someone can’t figure out where to go to cover the event, then no one benefits from the press release.
