Nonprofit Marketing for Coconut Grove, Miami

Coconut Grove is Miami's oldest neighborhood. A historic waterfront where sailboats still drift, where The Barnacle still stands, and where West Grove's Bahamian-American community has built and defended their home for over 150 years. Both communities deserve to be found. We make sure they are.

The Real Problem

Coconut Grove's two communities, each essential to the neighborhood, struggle to be found online. Their funders can't find them.

Coconut Grove was established in 1825 by settlers drawn to Biscayne Bay. Ralph Middleton Munroe, a yacht designer and early Commodore of the Biscayne Bay Yacht Club, purchased 40 acres of bayfront in 1886 and built The Barnacle in 1891. It is the oldest house in Miami-Dade County still standing in its original location. Vizcaya Museum & Gardens, the 1914-1923 National Historic Landmark estate, anchors the neighborhood's cultural identity. The waterfront remains a refuge for artists, cultural institutions, and people drawn to sailing, preservation, and the bohemian inheritance of old Miami.

But Coconut Grove is also West Grove. It is the neighborhood built by Bahamian laborers and settlers beginning in the 1870s-1880s. These founders, hired to build the Peacock Inn (built in the 1880s, among the first hotels on the South Florida mainland), stayed and created a community. The Woman's Club of Coconut Grove (founded 1891) and the historic churches, Christ Episcopal and Greater St. Paul, still anchor that community. Goombay Festival still celebrates Bahamian heritage. And today, West Grove faces gentrification and displacement pressure that threatens 130+ years of community life.

Both communities run nonprofits. Heritage preservation organizations, affordable housing advocates, arts groups, environmental stewards. They serve funders and donors who actively search for organizations like theirs. We close that gap, helping each community be found by the people who should be supporting their work.

Community Access
We Know Coconut Grove

Miami-based. Coconut Grove's story, both the waterfront legacy and West Grove's resilience, is not a statistic to us. It is the foundation of everything we write for your organization.

We know that Coconut Grove was built by adventurers drawn to Biscayne Bay, by Ralph Munroe who designed boats and built a home that still stands more than 130 years later, by artists and sailors who created the bohemian sanctuary that still exists today. We know Vizcaya, The Barnacle, the Playhouse, the Arts Festival.

And we know West Grove. We know that Bahamian immigrants built the first hotel on the South Florida mainland. We know that their children and grandchildren built churches, a library, and a community that has held together for 150 years. We know the Goombay Festival, the historic churches, the families still living where their ancestors landed. And we know the pressure they face today. Gentrification, displacement, the erasure that happens when a neighborhood's story is rewritten without the people who built it.

We write in both languages. We understand both communities. We lead with the strength and achievement of both, and we help you reach the funders, donors, and community members who want to support your work. Whether that's preserving heritage trees, protecting homeownership, celebrating Bahamian culture, or any of the critical work happening in Coconut Grove.
