Cause Communications

Recently, our team reflected on the wildfires that swept through Los Angeles in January. In this blog post we discuss the grief and gratitude that co-exist. There’s also an acknowledgment of the unique and important role communicators play now and in the days ahead, from connecting residents with critical resources to telling the story of an organization’s impact. Check out these reflections and read about 4 principles to help guide you as we take these next steps together. (www.causecommunications.org/insights)

We’re excited to announce that Cause Communications has opened a new office location, based out of The California Endowment's Center for Healthy Communities (CHC) in Sacramento. Located in the heart of the state capital, the CHC building is known as a community hub for mobilizing change – a fitting place for Cause to call home given our own history of 45+ years of action and impact. As a sister site to our Los Angeles headquarters, this new space will enable Cause to make trainings and capacity building accessible to more organizations, deepen our collaborations with community-based organizations, and connect with more foundations and government agencies in the name of social change.

Earlier this month, Cause Communications had the pleasure of co-sponsoring and participating in PRSA Los Angeles Chapter's and Center for Nonprofit Management's “Quality Time with PR Minds” event, which pairs changemakers from the nonprofit sector with communications professionals to strengthen impact. Vicky Arenas from our team worked with two incredible organizations to co-design ideas and solutions that center strategic communications to advance health and healing in Los Angeles.

We’re proud to take part in events that foster deep learning, build relationships, and embrace the intersection of using communications to drive positive social change. Cause was also pleased to offer all event attendees our Communications Toolkit filled with practical tips and guidance to take communications to the next level.
