Finding social media ambassadors and influencers for your nonprofit might feel like an unattainable goal.
I mean, who really knows Kim Kardashian or Beyonce?
But influencers and ambassadors do not have to equal super elite
celebrities. In fact, influencers could include a work-from-home mom that has a
YouTube channel about baking for toddlers or a really good friend that is a part of a networking group.
Reaching out to the right type of people who have the audience that makes sense for your nonprofit’s programs is really key to finding influencers and ambassadors.
That’s what Christina Edwards highlights in this episode of
Grant Writing & Funding! Christina is a guru in the nonprofit marketing space and gives you a low-down on practical tips for any sized nonprofit to secure marketing from influencers and ambassadors.
What We Discuss In This Episode:
- Difference between ambassadors and influencers
- How connecting with ambassadors and influencers is like online dating
- How friends can be really amazing ambassadors and influencers
- Why a toolkit is vital to share with ambassadors and influencers
- Why your nonprofit’s updated social media presence is vitae

World-renowned grant writing expert and Amazon bestselling author Holly Rustick provides coaching that helps new and experienced grant writers replace their full-time income while writing grants part-time from home (or anywhere they want to live or travel in the world).
She coaches changemakers to master grant writing and start to grow 6-figure+ grant writing businesses on part-time hours via her signature group program, “Freelance Grant Writer Academy."
As an unapologetic feminist, Holly’s work in coaching female grant writers to master grant writing, find their cause-area niche, and navigate value-based pricing and nonprofit sales is breaking glass ceilings for women all over the world.
Every week, she coaches thousands of people through the top-ranking podcast, Grant Writing & Funding, books on grant writing, and inside the Freelance Grant Writer Academy.
Holly has 20 years of experience in grant writing, and began her freelance grant writing journey back in 2005. While teaching in Kuwait and Indonesia, and then earning a Master’s Degree in International Political Economy in Belgium, Holly saw the light of setting up a virtual-based business in grant writing back in the mid-2000s. Having secured more than $45 million of dollars for nonprofit organizations, and then setting up a multi 6-figure freelance business, Holly has a mission to help female grant writers break out of toxic nonprofit J-O-B-S and create high-level income while freelance grant writing.
Inside the Freelance Grant Writer Academy, students have secured more than $225+ million in grant funding and $4+ million in revenue in their grant writing businesses within two years.
To amplify this work, she is past-president of the Guam Women’s Chamber of Commerce and was appointed to the Guam Business Advisory Task Force as an advisor to the first female governor of Guam. Holly lives on the island of Guam with her beautiful daughter, Isabella.
