Dear GMT,

The 2010 Getting Attention Nonprofit Tagline Awards program just opened and is accepting entries. Nonprofits and grantmakers can enter their taglines here. The deadline is July 28.

This is an excellent opportunity for GMT members to improve and gain recognition of their taglines. GMT members have successfully participated in previous Tagline Awards.

I’ve included the description from Nancy Schwartz of GettingAttention.org, below. We hope that you’ll all be able to participate!

Best regards,
Nina

P.S. You can follow the tagline award news on Twitter via the hashtag #taggies.

Wanted: Powerful Nonprofit Taglines—Enter 2010 Tagline Awards Today

Your nonprofit or foundation could be one of this year's Getting Attention Nonprofit Tagline Award (a.k.a. The Taggies) winners!

And this year, for the first time, you can submit your organization’s volunteer program, fundraising campaign and/or special event taglines, in addition to your organizational tagline. So enter here now.

A strong tagline does double-duty—working to extend your organization's name and mission, while delivering a focused, memorable and repeatable message to your base. It's one of your most effective, marketing tools, but a GettingAttention.org survey showed that 72% of nonprofit organizations don't have a tagline or rate theirs as performing poorly. This program is designed to help close that gap.

All entrants will receive a free copy of the fully-updated 2010 Nonprofit Tagline Report in late 2010. It's the only complete guide to building your organizational, program, fundraising or special event brand in 8 words or less—filled with how-tos, don't-dos and models.

Please take 3 minutes now to enter your nonprofit's taglines today while it’s on your mind. The deadline for entering is July 28.
This program is made possible thanks to the generous sponsorship of Blackbaud, Event360, Eventbrite and See3 Communications.
