A nonprofit’s tagline is hands down the briefest, easiest and most effective way to communicate its identity and impact. But this high-impact, low-cost marketing tactic is often overlooked or under-emphasized by nonprofits. 

GettingAttention.org’s  2008 survey of nonprofits showed that 7 in 10 nonprofits rated their tagline as poor or didn’t use one at all. The majority of nonprofits not using a tagline indicated that they had not thought about it or couldn’t come up with a good one.

The annual Getting Attention Nonprofit Tagline Awards program was designed to address this missed opportunity, and guide nonprofits to craft an effective tagline.  This year's winners were selected from 60 finalists drawn from 1,702
nonprofit taglines submitted to the 2009 Getting Attention Nonprofit
Tagline Awards competition. More than 4,800 nonprofit professionals
cast votes in the final selection round.
