My story

I'm Julia Casey, a communications specialist who tackles cause-related challenges to help nonprofits raise their profile and fulfill their missions.

I focus on shaping audience beliefs and behaviors through integrated communications to help social good organizations strengthen relationships with their customers, employees, donors and communities.

I have a marketing and communications background in insurance, financial services, higher education and more recently nonprofits, which I bring to each conversation and challenge.

So now you know a bit about me, please reach out if you are a 501(c) 3 organization in need of a communications consult, have a story to tell or a specific project to discuss.

LinkedIn Series: AI's Potential for Nonprofits

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is creating big waves in multiple fields, including communications. During the Summer of 2024, I experimented with various AI tools to understand what it can do, with a specific interest in its application for nonprofit organizations. I researched and wrote a three-part LinkedIn Series with the aspiration to provide nonprofit leaders and funders a jump start to use AI for their mission-critical work.

AI Policy for Nonprofits

As more individuals and organizations discover AI's potential, nonprofits have much to gain and consider to ensure safe and ethical AI implementation.

How Nonprofits Can Manage Donors with AI

People give to nonprofits for a host of reasons, especially a deep belief in an organization's mission. Being donor-centric shifts the focus from raising dollars to building relationships, and AI can help to do this with greater precision.

Accelerating Nonprofit Communications with AI

All nonprofits generate fundraising appeals and a website, so this week's AI focus is experimenting with text and supporting images for two very real potential scenarios: a fundraising appeal letter and a website story.

Quest Leadership

Building leadership muscles is an ongoing endeavor so in 2021 I took part in a community-based team building initiative through Leadership Greater Hartford.

During this three-month program we gathered, discussed and practiced leadership styles. Here we are after our closing presentation held at the Chrysalis Center in Hartford, Connecticut.
