RAFFA, P.C.'s Signature CampaignsRAFFA fulfills its mission through both its' professional services as well as through its' pubic service activities.Our aim is to grow as a company together with our employees, our customers, and our business partners in a way that benefits and strengthens our community. Some of our most recent signature campaigns include:     Take 25 - Five Stories Worth TellingGoal: To help our nonprofit clients showcase their mission and attract donors to their organization.Videos help donors experience powerful, emotional stories that move them to take action. However, many nonprofits simply do not have the resources required to produce a high-quality video for their organization. TAKE 25 was designed to commemorate RAFFA’s 25th Anniversary while bringing exponential benefits to the nonprofit sector. The Firm decided that the best way to tell the RAFFA story was by helping our clients showcase their own important stories. As part of RAFFA’s Silver Anniversary Initiative, five nonprofits were awarded a custom in-kind video about their own organization. The campaign culminated in a celebratory TAKE 25 Screening Reception at the American University Katzen Arts Center for the nonprofits and their guests. Washington Post Award for Excellence in Nonprofit ManagementGoal: To identify, recognize, and showcase excellence in nonprofit management.RAFFA is proud to be a fifth year award sponsor of the annual Washington Post Award for Excellence in Nonprofit Management, a project of the Center for Nonprofit Advancement.
