What is Serve?

Serve is a non-profit organization in Milwaukee, WI, consisting of advertising, marketing, media and business professionals who have dedicated themselves to help find a strong voice for underserved charities and social causes.

Serve volunteers and staff provide non-profits with expertise in marketing, advertising, strategic planning, creative production and education in Milwaukee, WI. By helping less popular causes gain greater awareness through provocative and inspiring marketing programs, Serve enables charitable organizations to do good on a higher level. To reach a greater constituency with their messaging. To expand and strengthen their volunteer base. Increase funding. Expand support and outreach programming. Re-energize otherwise tired organizational boards. And ultimately create a more stable future for their non-profit organization.

Whether it means fighting for the needs of children or the environment. Raising money for research or support programs. Generating greater awareness. Promoting health and wellness. Or working to change dangerous behaviors. Serve has the unique ability to impact social and behavioral change. And in its own small way, help make the world a better place.

Why is Serve so important?

It’s simple. Every cause exists to fulfill a mission. Whether it’s to convince people to stop a dangerous behavior or encourage healthier activities. To protect the weak and vulnerable. Offer support services or education. Or to simply give hope. Whatever the case, every non-profit exists to tell a story. Which means, without effective communications, a non-profit organization can’t accomplish its mission. That would make marketing the most important thing a non-profit could do.

Now combine that with the fact that there are over 1.2 million non-profit organizations in the United States today vying for your resources and attention, and the importance of having a loud and relevant voice becomes even clearer.

Still doubt the importance of non-profit marketing?

The Goals of Serve:

Increase the effectiveness and impact of underserved non-profit organizations locally and nationally by giving them a strong voice and being an advocate for social change.

Educate non-profit organizations on how to effectively communicate and market their cause by providing individual counseling services and seminars.

Find synergies among like-minded causes to maximize their resources and effectiveness, as well as seek out partnerships with for-profit companies for funding and cause branding opportunities.

Create a community of marketing, media, business and retired professionals who are committed to solving the marketing challenges of the underserved.

Increase awareness about the plight of underserved non-profits locally and nationally, and the importance of increasing support for these orphan causes.

Assist in funding cause-related marketing campaigns for organizations who cannot fund themselves.

Leave a legacy of giving to the greater good. One that is actively promoted and passed down from generation to generation.
