Explain both sides of the argument — for and against — branding in a nonprofit

What will be an ideal response?


For:
• Creates name recognition to aid in fundraising and volunteer recruitment
• It helps to communicate the nonprofits' unique contribution to society
• It helps the nonprofit serve its constituents better by establishing its uniqueness in a very cluttered nonprofit world
• It reflects the organizations' mission and values
Against
• De-humanizes human services by making it a "commodity" – creating a "nikefication" of social constructs such as faith, history, culture, etc. and making them analogous to jeans.
• It costs too much
• It fosters "unhealthy competition"
• It promotes hoarding of information
• It leaves donors and supporters confused about how their support is making a difference, versus just "promoting' the nonprofit
