Digital Marketing for Nonprofits

Share the goods.

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.
To learn more, check out www834design.wpenginepowered.com/npo or listen to our latest podcast.
*As always, exclusions apply, and these are outside of our control; visit this page for eligibility details.

FUN FACT FRIDAY: It’s only fitting for us to own a building where a trailblazing female operated her businesses in 1906. The Phillips family represented one of the longest-running retail tenures in Grand Rapids history; L.E. Phillips Jewelry in the 1365 Plainfield Ave. building from 1906 until 1973. 
Dr. Eva Phillips, a certified and licensed optometrist ran her practice out of the jewelry store’s secondary parlor and was an equal partner in the jewelry store. 

Together, they offered a unique one-stop shot which expanded to include appliances, record players, and more. The couple operated the shop through two World Wars and the Great Depression, acting as the neighborhood matriarch and patriarch.

Have you tuned into The Happy Hour Hustle Podcast yet?
If not, a) you’re missing out and b) you need to follow immediately. Hosted by @bodespeaks, episodes drop every other week, and feature some pretty bada$$ guests if we do say so ourselves.

This week, Kim sits down with @kelsey_orchard , VP of Marketing and Communications at @fifthwheelfreight to chat building a personal brand, Gen Z entering the workforce, misconceptions about logistics, spotting fake LinkedIn profiles – oh and why your GPA doesn’t matter anymore.

Grab a watermelon margarita, sit back and enjoy for lots of laughs and real talk.

National Perimenopause Month starts today. We have a LOT to say, and we’re not going to be quiet about it, especially this month, so buckle up.

We were not prepared for perimenopause, much like our periods, sex, or anything else to do with our bodies. God forbid we talk about it openly.

We were taught to be ashamed, keep quiet, and to accept that it is just part of being a woman. We reject that narrative. In fact, like @bodespeaks, we want to bring it up in every conversation. 

When we normalize perimenopause and the conversation around it, we stop isolating, and we’re all more prepared.
Join us for Uncomfortable Conversations: The Pause on September 24th — a powerful conversation hosted alongside the @smallbusinessassocofmichigan 
Women’s Business Council, featuring some kicka$$ experts who will give you the real talk on perimenopause (more to come on them later).
