Buzz4Good! Nonprofits + Marketing
Nonprofit organizations do so much to enhance the quality of life in our communities, but they often lack the time, talent and budget to properly promote their missions and attract more donors, volunteers and clients to their cause.
Here on Buzz4Good! we feature the great work that nonprofits do. And we provide them with marketing tips and tools so they can achieve more buzz!
Buzz4Good! is hosted by Michael Hemphill, creator of the award-winning public television show "BUZZ," which features nonprofit organizations receiving pro bono "marketing makeovers" from teams of creative advertising professionals.
Buzz4Good! Nonprofits + Marketing
Are Women Better Nonprofit Leaders?
Our last Buzz4Good, “Why Women Lead Nonprofits,” was our most popular yet, garnering twice as many downloads as our previous high.
On today’s show, BUZZ creator Michael Hemphill digs deeper to explore not only what makes women good nonprofit leaders but, in some cases, what makes them more effective than men.
We feature conversations with:
- Dawn Sandoval, executive director of The Least of These Ministry, which helps the homeless in Roanoke, and preview our 30th episode of our TV show BUZZ that airs March 29 on Blue Ridge PBS.
- Karen Pillis, executive director of the West End Center for Youth.
- Julie Whalen, executive director of FRIENDS of the Blue Ridge.
- Ellen Ryan, past president and current treasurer of the Eastmont Community Foundation.
- Jessica Wirgau, CEO of the Community Foundation of the New River Valley.
Today’s show continues our celebration of Women’s History Month! We began earlier in March with ”Women Who Give” and the success women have had in creating and sustaining philanthropic giving circles. That episode featured conversations with the Roanoke Women’s Foundation and 100+ Women Who Care -New River Valley. Then we followed with “Why Women Lead Nonprofits.”
Are you a nonprofit with an event that we could help promote? Or a marketing problem we could help fix? Contact us and we’ll share on an upcoming episode.

The United States has more than 1.5 million nonprofits — from homeless shelters, food banks and rescue squads to children’s choirs, science museums and animal refuges — that employ one out of every 10 Americans. Like any company, nonprofits have salaries and bills to pay, a budget to balance. They require money. And if enough people don’t know about them, don’t believe in them, don’t support them — in short, if they lack BUZZ — they suffer and die.
