Announcing Goodstock Vancouver
Apply for HMA’s 24-hour marathon of nonprofit madness!
We love small nonprofits. You're out there, doing important work on limited budgets, making a real difference.
There are probably a lot of things you don't do because you don't have the money to hire experts to help you.
Maybe you could benefit from help sorting out your yearly fundraising plan? Maybe you could use some help with designing a killer mail pack? Maybe you'd like to plan and shoot a promotional video or get an online fundraising program going?
This December, to celebrate the season of giving, we're getting our staff together to do a 24-hour marathon of free fundraising and marketing projects for small nonprofits. Would you like to tap into our expertise and experience and have fun as well? If you have a project that could use a kick-start take a look at the proposal requirements and send your idea along.
Remember, it all has to fit in 24 hours of work. But a lot can get done in 24 hours.
Because we’ll be working with local nonprofits, you can actually come into the office, brief us personally, and work with us on your project.
This whole idea is based on "Goodstock™", a project by Knupp & Watson. Thanks to them for the great idea! We’re proud to be the 1st Canadian agency launching our own Goodstock.
If you have any questions, please visit www.harveymckinnon.com/goodstock. The deadline for project submissions is 2 pm PST on November 13.
HMA turns 20!
HMA celebrates its 20th anniversary
As of this year, HMA has been in business for 20 years! When HMA began, it was just Harvey running the show himself. He eventually realized that as much as he loved having conversations with himself, he needed a few people around to help him grow the business.
An office was found, coffee machine purchased, and more and more clients came on board. Soon Harvey was employing a team of the best fundraising professionals in the business and working with many of Canada’s leading non-profits!
To mark the 20th Anniversary, the Toronto and Vancouver staff met in Vancouver for a week of strategic planning with HMA’s business consultant, Elizabeth Crook from Orchard Advisors. These strategic planning sessions reminded everyone how lucky we are to work together in helping great causes across Canada and internationally. Because we wanted to do some more good and hang out together- the HMA gang headed to the UBC Farm for an afternoon of hard work! The light rain and arduous labour ☺ did not deter our staff and everyone loved being out in nature and lending a hand to a beautiful part of the UBC community and our city!
Strategic planning and some dirty work were wonderful... but the highlight of the week was definitely the look on the Harvey’s face as he entered the HMA Surprise 20th Anniversary Party!
