2025 Year in Review

Building Momentum: 10 Achievements from One Sector, One Voice Triad’s First Six Months

In July 2025, One Sector, One Voice Triad (OSOVT) set out with a clear goal: strengthen nonprofits by enhancing Triad advocacy communications infrastructure. In just half a year, that vision has begun to take shape in meaningful, measurable ways.

From internal capacity building to regional visibility, our first six months demonstrate what is possible when nonprofits work together with intention and alignment. Here are ten milestones that mark OSOVT’s early momentum and point toward what is next in 2026!

1. Building Capacity and Strong Foundations

OSOVT invested early in the systems needed for sustainability. Governance and onboarding processes were established, a project charter was created, and capacity was expanded through new part-time staff supporting digital and website maintenance, along with a UNCG MPA intern. Since July, more than 10 Working Group meetings have helped strengthen regional alignment and shared direction.

2. Modernizing Digital Communications

A new website, blog, enhanced email communications, and a LinkedIn presence launched OSOVT into a more visible and accessible digital space. Between September and December, this content generated over 3,300 impressions, nearly 1,900 unique LinkedIn views, and strong engagement, paired with exceptional email performance, including 70 percent open rates.

3. Launching Triad Nonprofits Get It Done

The Triad Nonprofits Get It Done campaign brought nonprofit impact into the spotlight. With more than 80 tailored messages, creative assets, and a ready-to-use toolkit, the campaign achieved wide reach across platforms. This included over 9,000+ LinkedIn Sponsored impressions, over 10,000 Google Display impressions, and national wire syndication.

4. Providing Direct Support to Nonprofits

Beyond messaging, OSOVT delivered hands-on support. Ten nonprofits received one-on-one coaching tied to the Triad Nonprofits Get It Done campaign, along with tailored storytelling assistance, strategic planning tools, and content development guidance. This ensured organizations could participate confidently and effectively.

5. Leading with a Coordinated Communications Strategy

Through a blend of paid, earned, and owned media, OSOVT reached more than 175,000 people in 2025. This sector-leading approach demonstrated the power of coordinated messaging across newsletters, digital ads, local coverage, and national distribution.

6. Strengthening Civic Engagement

OSOVT convened partners and community members through the Civic Power in Action event at YWCA High Point. The panel brought together organizations, including the League of Women Voters Triad, Guilford County Board of Elections, Politisit, Wake Forest University, and others, to elevate civic participation and nonprofit roles in democracy.

7. Securing Regional Foundation Investment

Local foundations stepped forward to invest in OSOVT’s long-term sustainability, contributing more than $100,000 to build the advocacy infrastructure needed for continued impact across the Triad.

8. Building Advocacy Readiness

Recognizing the need for practical tools, OSOVT developed and tested three iterations of an advocacy toolkit. The result is a clear, user-friendly resource with ready-to-use messaging, actions, and guidance to help nonprofits engage collectively and confidently.

9. Creating a Cohesive Visual Identity

In collaboration with a Working Group design consultant, OSOVT established a visual identity and brand system. This includes logo concepts, typography, color palettes, and graphic elements to ensure consistency and recognition across platforms.

10. Advancing a 2026 Vision

Looking ahead, OSOVT facilitated three multi-hour strategic planning sessions with its advisory team and Working Group. These sessions produced the first draft of the 2026 Vision and Action Framework, setting clear priorities to guide coordination and implementation in the year ahead.

Looking Forward

These first six months reflect more than a list of accomplishments. They show what is possible when nonprofits come together with sharedpurpose. OSOVT is entering its next phase with stronger infrastructure, deeper partnerships, and a growing collective voice. The work ahead is ambitious, but the foundation is set.

Together, the Triad nonprofit sector is building momentum. This is just the beginning.
