Spitfire Tools

Now the tools you need are right at your fingertips. We know what makes for a successful, cost effective communications strategy. That’s why we’ve developed a set of carefully researched, experience based, straightforward and practical tools that deliver real results. We’ve shared these tools with some of the top foundations and social change organizations on the planet, and we know they work.

The best news is, we gladly give these resources away for free. We want to get these valuable tools and resources into the hands of as many nonprofits and foundations as possible, so we encourage you to use them and share them widely.

And because we use these tools in our own work, we’re constantly refining them. Let us know what you think at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. . We want to hear from you.
