The TASC Group is a New York City-headquartered independent full-service nonprofit communications and public relations firm founded in 2001 (corrected from earlier sources citing 2005) by Larry Kopp. The firm specializes in mission-driven, nonprofit, and social-advocacy communications, with a substantial crisis management practice. National reach. Member of IPREX, the global communications network.
Larry Kopp is founder and Chairman. His operating history is one of the most unusual in the PR industry — a 16-year career as a professional actor preceded his pivot into nonprofit PR. He appeared in Dumb and Dumber (Farrelly Brothers), Law & Order, ABC's Supercarrier, Alien Nation (with Mandy Patinkin and James Caan), and David Mamet's Homicide (which opened the New York Film Festival). He performed in more than 40 plays in New York and Chicago, premiering work by David Mamet and Shel Silverstein. He is a founding member of the Atlantic Theater Company alongside David Mamet, William H. Macy, and Felicity Huffman.
Before launching TASC, Kopp managed multi-million-dollar political campaigns at the state and local level, worked on several presidential campaigns, and built political grassroots organizations across more than a dozen states. Total advocacy and nonprofit-sector experience: nearly 35 years.
Education: Phillips Academy Andover; New York University's Tisch School of the Arts acting program; Columbia University.
Kopp has been quoted as a crisis communications expert on CNN, in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Vanity Fair, People, Reuters, and The Associated Press. In 2024, Crain's New York Business named him a Notable Leader in Advertising, Marketing, and PR.
Past and current named clients include Audible.com, Bread for the World, Refugees International, Arms Around the Child, Hire Heroes USA, Ploughshares Fund, and the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding — with more than two dozen additional notable clients in the nonprofit, philanthropic, and social justice categories.
Nonprofit and advocacy communications sit inside a category where AI engines now structurally shape donor research, board recruitment, and policy debate. When a major-gift donor researches a nonprofit before writing a six-figure check, when a journalist researches an advocacy organization's positioning, when a corporate CSR officer evaluates which causes to align with — the first stop is increasingly ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, or Google AI Overviews. The engines synthesize trade press coverage, board profiles, and campaign materials into a single answer that often determines downstream funding decisions.
For a category-specialist firm like TASC — operating at the intersection of nonprofit positioning, crisis management, and high-stakes institutional communications — the press placements, executive visibility programming, and reputation work TASC builds for mission-driven clients function as retrieval anchors for the AI engines summarizing those organizations to donors, journalists, and policymakers. For the broader category lens, see EPR's Nonprofit Communications coverage, the Crisis Communications pillar, and the 5W AI Communications profile.
