Language Services for Nonprofit Organizations
For any non-profit organization, your most powerful tool for doing the greatest amount of good is your voice.
Communicating with potential donors, supporters, or even those that your organization seeks to help is the most critical aspect of your organization. Being able to do so effectively is an essential tool.
In today’s world, there’s a greater need than ever for the work non-profits are doing. But there’s a severe barrier to the success of these organizations that many overlook, and that barrier is language.
This might be surprising, but a massive one in five people in the United States are non-English speakers at home. That means that more than 20% of Americans speak other languages most often. This creates a huge issue because it means that organizations that only use English in their work miss a massive portion of the population.
It’s simple: if your message isn’t reaching a large part of the population, that’s a considerable percentage that your work isn’t reaching either. To succeed as a non-profit both in your business and your outreach, it is vital to provide resources and access across languages so that access doesn’t miss any portion of the population.
To do so, there is truly only one solution, and that solution is translation and interpretation work.
Types of Language Services Used by Non-profits
Recently, we have been contacted by numerous organizations who have seen this need within the non-profit sector. We are working with these nonprofits for webinars, trainings, and much more.
In this virtual world, we have seen a stark increase in demand for interpreters to join these virtual events, meetings, trainings, and even voice-over translation services for webinars.
We currently work with several clients who teach classes online via Zoom. One of these clients hosts an entirely Spanish-speaking group, and we provide a Zoom interpreter for their live online courses.
The language services Metaphrasis provides for nonprofit organizations include:
- On-site interpreters
- Video remote interpreters
- Telephone interpreters
- Zoom interpreters
- Conference and event interpretation
- Document translation
- Audio transcription
- Voice-overs
More and more, organizations such as this are realizing the need for language expansion in their work, especially as the Latinx population increases in the United States, opening businesses, attending classes, and looking for the tools and resources to excel in both.
