How We Work
At urbanASKEW, we believe the best results come from strong partnerships. We take the time to understand your organization’s mission, capacity, and goals so our work supports what you’re already doing—without adding stress or complexity.
We start by listening. From there, we collaborate with you to create clear, consistent messaging and a realistic plan for marketing, communications, and grant support that fits your team and timeline. Whether we’re managing social media, writing newsletters, or preparing grant applications, we handle the details while keeping you informed and involved at every step.
Our approach is flexible, thoughtful, and mission-driven. We meet your organization where it is, provide expert guidance along the way, and focus on sustainable strategies that build awareness, strengthen credibility, and support long-term success.
Who We Work With
urbanASKEW partners with small and growing nonprofits that are doing meaningful work and need support building awareness, consistency, and funding readiness. We work best with organizations that are passionate about their mission but may not have dedicated staff, time, or internal expertise for marketing and grant development.
We frequently work with:
- Small and grassroots nonprofits
- Start-up and early-stage organizations
- Volunteer-led or lean-staffed teams
- Program-focused organizations ready to grow their visibility
- Nonprofits preparing for fundraising or grant opportunities
Social Media Marketing
We create and manage mission-driven social media content that builds awareness and engagement. urbanASKEW develops a monthly content calendar, creates and schedules weekly posts, monitors engagement, and shares insights so your social presence is consistent, intentional, and impactful.
Ideal for:
Small nonprofits that want a consistent, professional social media presence without dedicating staff time to planning, posting, and tracking engagement.
Email Updates
We help nonprofits connect with their community through thoughtful, informative email communication. Together, we establish a consistent schedule that keeps supporters engaged without overwhelming them—sharing key updates, telling your organization’s story, and highlighting the impact of your work.
Ideal for:
Organizations looking to strengthen relationships with donors, volunteers, and supporters through regular, meaningful communication.
Print Materials
From brochures and event invitations to outreach mailings and program updates, we design print materials that reflect your mission and maintain consistent messaging. We work with you to select the best formats and options to meet your organization’s goals and budget.
Ideal for:
Nonprofits that need polished, cohesive print materials for events, outreach, fundraising, or community engagement.
Newsletters
Newsletters allow your organization to go deeper than social media and email alone. urbanASKEW writes, designs, and manages the mailing of quarterly or biannual newsletters that showcase your work, your impact, and the people you serve—delivered directly to your supporters and advocates.
Ideal for:
Organizations ready to share more detailed stories, program updates, and impact with donors and advocates in a tangible, lasting format.
Grant Research & Preparation
We identify grant opportunities that align with your mission, capacity, and goals. urbanASKEW conducts the research, presents viable options, and helps build a realistic grant calendar. We also guide you through application preparation, including document collection and messaging, to strengthen your readiness and competitiveness.
Ideal for:
Nonprofits new to grant seeking or those looking to approach grants more strategically and sustainably.
Grant Writing & Submission
For organizations ready to take the next step, we manage the full grant writing and submission process. Working in close partnership with your team, we develop clear, compelling applications that meet all requirements and reflect your organization’s strengths.
Ideal for:
Nonprofits that have identified strong grant opportunities and want experienced support to maximize their chances of success.
