Help with a nonprofit tagline? Word people!

Share? Connect? Inspire?

Edify.


Sounds stuffy though.

I don't have any ideas right now but will mull on it this evening since the alternative e-word I thought of sounded even douchier (elucidate).

The only thing is that I feel like "enlighten. educate. empower." or something similar is like almost every non-profit out there. If I saw that tagline, it wouldn't really tell me anything about what the group does that is different from a women's group or a children's group. Does that make any sense at all?

I don't want to sound difficult but that was my first thought when I read it.

Must you have all three?

They are somewhat redundant.

No, it totally makes sense! Hopefully with our name + tagline, it will give enough on a business card.

It's not our mission statement, we still have a formal one of those. It will just be a blurb on the back of a business card, or on t-shirts, etc.

I get it.  The phrasing just seems a bit common and overused and I am pretty sure whatever you are doing is not common or overused.  And yes, I know I am being absolutely no help here.

Empower has gotta stay! I think.

Engage. Educate. Empower.

Inspire. Educate. Empower.

?
 I love the sound of the last one. Think i can spell it "enspire" and have no one notice? *-)

No.  Inspire is a better word than alliteration is clever, you know what I mean?  Don't try too hard for an E word at the expense of the word itself.

I like Inspire. Educate. Empower.

Yep. Inspire sounds better. Not to mention but it's a much more powerful word than engage.

I would just say "learn" for everything. LOL.

How about "images and initiatives for change?"
