The words "Special edition" float behind a preview of a PDF that reads, "Digital Dollars: Funding Nonprofits"

Digital marketing is so crucial for nonprofits. The digital space can directly and effectively support goals around volunteer recruitment, membership outreach, fundraising initiatives, and so much more.
We LOVE working alongside nonprofit organizations. We love it so much that we stay up-to-date on ever-changing trends in lots of digital platforms to make sure our work is leveraging every possible opportunity.
For instance, did you know that some nonprofits can receive $10,000 per month in digital advertising dollars? This opportunity, and many more exist for these great organizations, and we are here to help!

Digital Marketing is a No-Brainer for Your Nonprofit Organization

People turn to the internet to learn, discover, and connect with organizations. This is a fact.
Potential volunteers are searching for volunteer opportunities, then stalking you on social media to see if you’d be a good fit. Potential sponsors are searching online, then checking out your website to determine your credibility. Donors are going to your website to give. Last year alone, people in the US donated $31 billion online. If you’re hosting events, people are going online to find event details, buy tickets, and ‘check in’ when they arrive.
A great example of nonprofits leveraging the heck out of social media is the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. This campaign used digital tactics to spread awareness, and it worked.
People love to connect to meaningful causes online, share their thoughts, and show their friends that they care. Give them a reason and the means to engage.

Google Resources for Nonprofits

Google is a long-time supporter of nonprofits. Last year alone, they donated more than $10 billion worldwide.
Here are some of the opportunities available to registered 501(c)(3)s in the United States:

  • Ad Grants: $10,000 per month in digital advertising
  • Fundraising tools, free of charge
  • SEO leniency and forgiveness for your website
  • Exclusive YouTube features including donation collection (again, free of charge)

Did You Say $10,000 PER MONTH?!

Yes.
Through their AdWords platform, Google will grant you $10,000 per month* in digital advertising spend. This can be used to support campaigns around:

  • Volunteers
  • Sponsorships
  • Donations
  • Funding
  • Awareness
  • Event attendance
  • And more

Making the Most of Your Resources

This is great, but you may be limited in resources, like staff and time, to make the most of this opportunity.
That’s where we come in.
We are launching a new digital package opportunity for select nonprofits. We’ll partner with you to determine your goals, outline a strategy in support of them, and execute these digital campaigns. We’ll provide monthly reports so you’ll never wonder where that $10,000 in ad spend went, or what you got for it.

The power of the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship, in a graduate's own words:

"Growth is never accidental, it comes from being willing to learn, adapt, and embrace change. After nine months of dedication, reflection, and business development, I proudly graduated from the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship (WEF) during the Small Business Association of Michigan Annual Meeting.

Throughout the program, I challenged myself to evaluate every aspect of my business, celebrating what was working while identifying opportunities for growth and improvement. The journey was made even more meaningful through the support of an incredible cohort of women entrepreneurs, the guidance of mentor Gina Jacquart Thorsen, and the leadership of bodespeaks and her team.

A sincere thank you to smallbusinessassocofmichigan for investing in second-stage women business owners and creating opportunities that empower entrepreneurs to build stronger, more sustainable businesses."

— Mary A. Barton, President and CEO of Equitable Accounting Solutions and proud WEF graduate.

Applications for the next cohort are now open. Link in comments.

AI doesn't treat every source equally; it trusts what's credible, cited, and current, like news coverage.

Showing up in the right places isn't just good PR. It's how the robots (and the humans) get you right.

"If you don't get up and grind every day, the needle isn't gonna move."

We sat down with brandonmccraney, founder and Master Blender behind olderaleighdistillery in Zebulon, North Carolina. Brandon spent fifteen years just thinking about whiskey before he finally opened his doors, and even then it took four more years, a dozen rejections, construction delays, and a global pandemic to get there. Two years later, Olde Raleigh had already won Best Micro Distillery in the US.

Check out the latest episode of Happy Hour Hustle, where Brandon shares what it actually took to grow a business through COVID, the military discipline that kept him going when everything else said quit, and how working with people turned out to be the hardest part of the job.
