Kara MacKenzie

Strategist.

Nonprofit

Communications Specialist.

Hi, I'm Kara!

After working in nonprofits for over six years and receiving my BA in Professional & Public Writing and Women’s & Gender Studies, I'm passionate about using my skills and experience in communications strategy, digital marketing, and professional writing to create positive social change. This journey has led me to work for some amazing nonprofit organizations and small businesses, including Michigan State University's Centers for Community Engaged Learning and Gender in Global Context (GenCen), the Michigan Library Association, and Early Bird Homes. Some of my favorite projects have included writing and editing MSU's 2023-24 Community Engaged Learning Index, designing a Style Guide to direct GenCen's internal and external communications, and writing seven contributing articles for The Current—East Lansing, Michigan's only full-color arts-and-culture magazine.​

Does it always feel like you are low on time, capacity, and funding?

I am experienced and knowledgeable when it comes to the nonprofit landscape and content strategy for nonprofits and social causes. I can provide busy nonprofit directors with quick, accurate, and professional content creation and marketing strategy services—on your schedule and budget.
