Digital Marketing for Nonprofits

Share This Post:

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.

If you ever need proof that personal brand matters...Kim got to see the @nasaartemis II launch in person as a direct result of her Big Deal Energyâ„¢. You need to work hard, show up authentically, and provide value. That was her message to a room full of students and young professionals at @western_michigan_pmi's theProject Collegiate Competition. The Big Deal Energyâ„¢ Workshop is on June 23. Register at the link in bio.
Employers think Gen Z is lazy, entitled, and will quit the second things get hard. That perception is keeping you out of the room before you ever get a chance to prove otherwise.The good news is, you can flip the script, but it will take some serious work and a personal brand, or as Kim Bode refers to it: Big Deal Energyâ„¢.Kim is speaking at theProjectâ„¢ Collegiate Event, hosted by the Project Management Institute Western Michigan Chapter on April 14. She'll cover how to build a personal brand that actually sounds like you (not ChatGPT) and how you can show your value through social, content and networking. Link in bio to learn more.
No one talks about how lonely it is to own a business. The tough decisions land on you, the business doesn't pause when you need a break, and nobody - not your employees or your spouse - really gets it. If you know a business owner, tell them they're doing a good job. It matters more than you know.
The growth stage is the hardest part of building a business. Kim was recently quoted in @corpmagazine on what she sees running the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship: women who have built something, survived the hardest part, and are still doing everything themselves. The natural tendency to be humble and attached to their work creates unique business challenges for women; they put up walls because they can't be vulnerable. Meanwhile, when a woman CEO needs growth capital, she compiles three years of tax returns before a bank will schedule a meeting, while her male competitor closes the same deal over drinks.When women have access to the right resources, they grow and invest back.
