Copywriting for charities and non-profits

my clients say…

“Megan absolutely smashed the brief we gave her! She picked up our tone really well, was super easy to work with and took the feedback and change of direction really well.”

“I have worked with Megan on several projects producing reports for non-profit organisations. She is a talented copywriter, accurate and reliable, a great communicator and always a pleasure to work with.”

Alison Stodolnic,
freelance project manager for IFRC work

“The results were very impressive. Megan worked well to tight timescales and was quick to offer ideas and suggestions which added value to the project. We are very pleased with the finished product.”

EXAMPLE PROJECTS INCLUDE:

FUNDRAISING LETTERS FOR THE BRITISH RED CROSS

I worked on a fundraising pack for the Ukraine crisis, writing long and short versions of a supporter letter, inserts to accompany the letters, and a thank you letter for those who responded with donations.

TONE OF VOICE EDITING FOR PLAN INTERNATIONAL UK

I reworked the draft strategy document into a new tone of voice, more aligned with the direction the organisation is keen to move in.

BOOKLET TO CELEBRATE 30 YEARS OF HERTFORDSHIRE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

I carried out interviews, wrote case studies and introductory copy for ‘Causes for Celebration’, a booklet produced to mark Hertfordshire Community Foundation’s 30th anniversary.

FUNDRAISING MAGAZINE AND LETTER FOR MICHAEL SOBEL HOSPICE

I wrote articles for the hospice supporters’ magazine, as well as the covering letter. Both were sent out as part of a regular fundraising pack.

TOOLKIT AND MARKETING MATERIALS FOR HOMELESS LINK

I wrote copy to support the refresh and relaunch of Homeless Link’s Homeless Health Needs Audit, including copy for the toolkit itself, the supporting webpage and a downloadable quick-start guide.

PLANS AND REPORTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF RED CROSS AND RED CRESCENT SOCIETIES (IFRC)

In both 2021 and 2022 I worked with a team of writers to rework dozens of draft documents with a focus on readability and consistency.

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF PUBLIC HEALTH

I supported RSPH with its 2020 annual report, covering both their planned activities and response to the covid-19 pandemic. I gathered information from staff and drafted the report so that it could be finalised in-house.
