ngowriter.com – Copywriter for NGOs and Nonprofits

Fundraising Letters

After researching your organization and chatting with stakeholders, I’ll craft an engaging appeal that tells prospective donors what you do, how you would spend their donations, and why you especially merit their help.

Website Copy

Effective website copy tells your members and visitors all about your mission, your staff, your projects and your needs. I write concise SEO copy that informs and engages readers, inspiring generous gifts and volunteer commitments.

Press Releases

Whether you’re presenting a landmark achievement, announcing a change in leadership, or owning up to your role in a misfortune, I’ll craft an informative press release with care, precision and a deep understanding of the news media.

Copy Editing

I edit all kinds of copy, from letters to blogs to annual reports. Whether I’m refining competent work or rewriting prose by someone who speaks English as a second language, I ensure that everything you publish is letter-perfect.

Newsletters

An e-newsletter is your recurring opportunity to inform and stimulate all the stakeholders on your email list. I’ll pack yours with concise reports, inspiring stories and irresistible calls to action — on deadline.

Etc.

What would you assign to a reliable writer-editor? I’ll write a progress report to your board. I’ll help you craft a guest column or an email response to a news story. I’ll edit your grant application. If you need a master of rhetoric, call on me.

Tell me what you need

You need expertly crafted copy to achieve your mission but you don’t employ enough multitalented writer-editors to produce it all. I can help. I write and edit just about any kind of copy you need to thrive. I’m Jameson O’Neal, a lifelong writer who helps organizations like yours make the world a better place. After honing my craft at four daily newspapers and an online publication, I learned to tackle the kinds of projects that budget-conscious NGOs and nonprofits assign to freelancers.

Whether I’m writing a fundraising letter in concert with your development director or assembling a newsletter from disparate sources, I excel at my craft; I write crisp, elegant copy that answers questions, evokes emotion, and compels action. I offer passion as well as skill: If you relieve suffering, protect rights, empower historically oppressed groups, promote peace, or otherwise advance the welfare of beings on our turbulent planet, then I want to serve your mission. I aim to be the go-to wordsmith of a few organizations whose missions I embrace.

Jameson is a true wordsmith. He is very knowledgeable and skillful at his craft. I highly recommend him.

Jameson’s writing is incredibly poignant, engaging and effective. He communicated our mission in strong prose that helped us secure a $300,000 grant to purchase our property.

I would recommend Jameson O’Neal for any job that involves writing or editing. He has a collegial way about him that I think would be welcome in any setting.
