My Two Cents
You need to change the culture - completely.
Start thinking visually and start thinking in “micro-content” terms.
Stop with the excuses. You have interesting
visuals even if you can’t show picture of cute animals and kids – that’s a cop out.

My Two Cents
Think of creating graphics as showing the world what you do and why you do it, in a compelling, interesting and easy-to-share way!
Your nonprofit’s mission and impact are worth sharing if you get a little creative.
