More organizations seem to pop up regularly, making the fight for donor dollars challenging. Add recent economic conditions and a very cautious public, and you have the making of financial crisis for charitable organizations, even ones with a long and distinguished history of making an impact on the lives of blood cancer patients.

published by The Institute for Family and Health Studies, 2013. This document, prepared by Elizabeth Chastain, will provide you with the context for all aspects of what defines a nonprofit organization, the nature of its mission, and other factors that may affect it. An Introduction to the American Heart Association
IAC, as it’s known in the area, is an acronym for the American Medical Association and is a recognized national health organization. For this release, I are referring to the IAC and The Institute for Family and Health Studies (IACs) – the two organizations that are best known for their roles in the organization’s mission in health care and the use of funds to research, educate, and improve their work. In this release, I will outline its role in the organization and take in-depth notes on its important role in the broader disease, education, community engagement, and leadership movement for family and care services. With the release of this new research document, I hope that the next generation of activists engaged in the work of leading nonprofit organizations will come around to see that this public health organization is well within its role to guide the agenda of today and make life easier for people whose diseases are too deeply entrenched with too few resources and a rapidly growing amount of time to spend on these matters.

In the past two years, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) has experienced little to no revenue growth. While their financial outlook is currently strong, an inability to keep up with growing expenses will cause them to contract services and research, which is counter to their mission. The organization needs to find new ways to keep the revenue faucets open and to reach both existing and potential donors.
At first glance you might suggest starting to target the new generation…to look to Millennials for future growth, but the fact is that Gen X is still going strong and has more spending power than both Baby Boomers and Millennials. Not only do the Gen Xers have significant spending power, but they are also likely to be charitable and participative.
Using the SWOT analysis as a guide, the integrated marketing communications plan presented will target Gen X and will seek to first, build awareness and then, ultimately, differentiate LLS from other organizations similar in size, scope, or mission. While many have heard the name Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and may have even made a donation in the past, the incredible work that they have done in terms of research and innovation is not top of mind. This needs to change.
This campaign brings together a variety of elements, both traditional and digital media, events, and public relations with a strong, consistent message. A message that that says we won’t stop until we find a cure and your donation could be the one that helps us get there. While an important part of LLS mission is the support of patients and families, the differentiator from similar organizations is the research…and the potential for a cure.
The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s ability to position itself as a leader, as the go-to organization for research and as an organization with national resources but community presence will be critical in helping them drive new relationships, expand existing relationships, and build new relationships.

Robbie’s parents, Rudolph and Antoinette, were stricken with grief and frustrated by the lack of effective treatments for what was then considered a hopeless disease.” (DeGennaro, 2016) The name has changed over the years as the organization’s mission has evolved and its reach has expanded. With the support of Robbie’s family through the years, the organization grew from a small operation into a multi-million dollar organization that funds research for cures and provides resources, support, and education to individuals and families impacted by leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease, and myeloma.
With national headquarters in New York, the LLS has chapters across the United States, in Puerto Rico and Canada. The organization funds research and support efforts through corporate and individual donations. (Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Annual Report, 2016) With more than 12 years in leadership role at LLS and 25 years of research, executive leadership and pharmaceutical experience, Louis J. DeGennaro, Ph.D. is the President and Chief Executive Officer. Name CEO in 2014, Mr. DeGennaro has been instrumental in defining the mission and creating innovative programs and campaigns to drive research and cures.
