Branch team working through a plan
What is The Branch Grant? A free, complete strategic assessment for one nonprofit, awarded once a quarter by Branch, a marketing and strategy firm in Providence, RI and Bend, OR. The selected organization receives a review of its mission, audience, and marketing, a plain-language read on what is working, and three priorities to act on.
The problem

Busy is not the same as strategic.

Plenty of activity. No clear plan.

Posts go out, ads run, and nobody can say which move actually matters.

Priorities shift every week.

When everything is urgent, your best people spend their time reacting instead of building.

Budget spent. Results unclear.

You know something is off, but you cannot pin down what to fix first.

The fix

A strategy your team can actually run.

The Grant gives one nonprofit a clear, honest read on where its marketing stands, and three next moves that do not require a bigger budget. No pitch deck. No fluff. Just the plan.

What you receive: your plan on one page
1
[Priority one]What to start this week, and who owns it.
2
[Priority two]The gap we found, in plain language.
3
[Priority three]The move that is cheap to make and hard to ignore.

What you get

Three things that move the needle.

A real diagnosis

We look at your mission, audience, and marketing, then tell you what is working, what is not, and where the real gaps are.

Three priorities

Not a 40-page deck nobody reads. Three next moves your team can start this week, with us or without us.

Zero cost, zero pitch

The assessment is free for the selected nonprofit. Whether you hire us later is entirely your call.
