    Building a Memorable Brand: Jim Moriarty on Why Attention, Trust, & Competency Matter More Than Ever

    “I do not believe that nonprofits live in a separate world. I believe that they live in the same world [as every other brand].” –Jim Moriarty Nonprofits aren’t operating in a separate marketplace than for-profits. They’re competing for the same attention, trust, and loyalty as every other brand. Jim Moriarty, brand strategist and former CEO of the Surfrider Foundation, believes this is the case—positing that both sectors are after the same consumer attention, and that both are doing real good in the world. With vast experience in both sectors, Jim thinks nonprofits can learn a thing or two from for-profit brands about evaluating performance, building trust, and clarifying your mission. In this episode, Jim shares: Why the lines are blurry between for-profits and nonprofits for consumersWhy Nike’s mission to make sports accessible to all is actually a core part of their modelWhat nonprofits can learn from brands about building consumer trust and competency in delivering on their promiseHow a clear narrative, real-world activation, and constant feedback can accelerate momentum Find links to resources mentioned and key takeaways in the show notes for this episode: https://www.futurenonprofit.com/jim-moriarty/

My personal mission for the rest of my life is reintegrating localism back into modern society.”—Bob Dalton Do you ever feel like it’s harder than ever to engage people in your mission?

But when Russia invaded in 2022, Yuriy and his team had to adapt quickly. This conversation explores how Hope for Ukraine continues to deliver real-time impact in one of the world’s most complex crises, and what the rest of us in the nonprofit world can learn from their speed, transparency, and relentless clarity of purpose. In this conversation, you’ll hear: Why funding often follows impact, not visionHow Hope for Ukraine adapts in real time to meet urgent needsThe power of radical transparency in donor engagementHow witnessing his father’s arrest (for being a pastor in the Soviet Union) shaped Yuriy’s sense of mission In many ways, Hope for Ukraine is an example for all of us in the nonprofit sector as they are creating a true community around a mission for volunteers, donors, and staff.
