Nonprofit Tech for Good

APRIL 27, 2023

When nonprofits started to experiment with digital marketing in 1990s and early 2000s, the few tools that were available were expensive and limited in their functionality. Today, the number of low-cost, well-built digital marketing tools is incredible! Provided you set aside the time to explore and experiment, your nonprofit can use these free or low-cost tools and resources to significantly improve your digital marketing and fundraising campaigns.

With 3.78 billion social media users in 2021 – an increase of five percent from a year ago – it’s a valuable communication channel that should be part of your mix. Your donors and supporters are on social media and you need to be too! At the heart of a strong social communications plan is relevant and compelling content.

Hi Amy, Thanks for the post. I’m curious about what video apps you recommend for small nonprofits to share updates and appreciation. I’m hearing that people find this overwhelming yet I think used wisely, it can be effective. There are apps that allow you to repurpose a video so someone’s first name is part of the video.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.
