What You'll Learn

In the email series, you’ll master the IRDDMR Framework—a repeatable process that turns audience insight into action:

✅ Identify

Map out your audience ecosystem (not just donors)—including volunteers, local partners, and program participants.

✅ Research

Use low-budget, high-impact tools to uncover real behaviors, values, and preferred channels.

✅ Develop

Create human, useful personas that feel like someone you could email tomorrow.

✅ Distribute

Use our “Core + 3” content flywheel to get your stories in the right places without burning out your team.

✅ Measure

Assign one KPI per channel and learn what actually drives action (not just impressions).

✅ Refine

Use quick, quarterly check-ins to update personas and keep growing without guesswork.

Built for Nonprofits. Adaptable to Any Team.

This framework was designed for community-focused organizations—but it works anywhere a message needs to move people.


You’ll also get examples from real nonprofits, including Rosewood Initiative , plus the actual templates we use in our Tiered Strategy Packages.

  • 📌 A 2-question survey you can send this week
  • 📌 A content distribution checklist
  • 📌 A 4-channel measurement dashboard
