Podcasting for Non-Profit Organizations

Podcasting can be a wonderful communications solution for non-profit and cause-based organizations. Some non-profit organizations use a podcast to communicate advocacy information to members/supporters. Others may repurpose educational and informational content to reach a wider audience. The audio format is a great way to increase engagement and spread your organization’s message further.

We’ll be sharing feedback and case studies from a few Podbean users podcasting for non-profit organizations. We hope they’ll provide specific ideas and lots of inspiration.
