Before founding Bloom, I spent 15 years working in education nonprofits, community organizing, and communications leadership roles. I've been the person writing the annual report at midnight, updating the website before a big campaign launch, and struggling to articulate our impact to funders and stakeholders.
We're Bloom Communications Group
I know firsthand that strategic communications (the kind that actually moves people and drives results) requires time, expertise, and creative thinking that many organizations simply don't have bandwidth for. That's the gap Bloom Communications Group was created to fill.
Our purpose is to be your strategic communications partner.
We help mission-driven organizations clarify their message, strengthen their brand, create compelling content, and build the communications infrastructure needed to sustain and grow your impact.
Through our work with nonprofits, schools, government agencies, and social service organizations, we're contributing to a more informed, engaged, and equitable society one story at a time.
Bloom Communications Group grew out of a commitment to social change and years of learning what it takes to communicate effectively in the mission-driven sector.
I spent years working in youth services, community organizing, and eventually leadership roles at education-focused organizations. Along the way, I developed a deep understanding of how strategic communications can amplify an organization's work and how the lack of strong communications capacity can hold even the best missions back.
A Personal Journey to Purpose-Driven Work
Purpose-Driven
In 2022, I co-founded Fundraise Inc., a development and fundraising consultancy. We helped organizations raise over $150 million for critical work in reproductive justice, education equity, affordable housing, and more. I loved this work and the impact we had on organizations across the country.
Over time, I realized that grant writing alone wasn't enough to communicate organizational impact. The full suite of creative services, often out of reach for small nonprofits, was needed to build the trust required to make a real impact. That realization led me to expand my services and launch Bloom Communications Group, focusing on holistic strategic communications.
Amber Haywood, Founder & Principal
The name "Bloom" reflects my belief that every organization has a story worth telling, and with the right strategy and creative support, that story can flourish and inspire action.
I'm excited to bring this expertise to nonprofits, schools, government agencies, and social service organizations working to create positive change. We can't wait to help you grow.
