They’re out there by the hundreds, maybe by the thousands. Your potential donors. These are people who are sure to be moved by your mission. They are certain to be compelled by your cause.

Building a new website for your nonprofit is a bit like designing your home. While there are going to be elements particular to your organization—much the same way that a couple might prioritize double sinks in their bathroom while someone else might really want a deep soaker tub—there will also be certain website features that you include no matter what.

Nonprofit organizations are starting to realize the potential of AI and how it can be leveraged to further their missions. If you’re in the nonprofit sector, here’s how you can start incorporating AI into your technology strategy in 2024.

Join Bryna Dilman (VP of Growth and Marketing at Keela) and Meredith Gray (Head of Marketing at Keela) as they dive into the wonderful world of email marketing for nonprofits.

We are thrilled to introduce the Women of Color Class of 2024 LeadStrong, marking a significant milestone in our journey towards cultivating diverse leadership in the nonprofit sector.

Customized for small nonprofits with limited time and financial resources, the 2024 Certificate in Digital Marketing & Fundraising program covers the fundamentals of website design, email marketing, online fundraising, and social media for nonprofits.

We are talking about a structure where groups of volunteers who barely know one another, see one percent of the work, often don’t reflect the communities we serve, and who may have little to no experience running nonprofits, being given vast power to supervise leadership and determine values, policies, and practices. Why did we think this weird structure would work?

Search engine optimization (SEO) is a term you’ve probably heard countless times, with the advice that all your nonprofit’s blog and website content should be optimized to drive traffic. But when you’re stretched thin on resources and manpower, just getting blog posts published and your website updated feels like a major accomplishment—let alone diving into SEO or content strategy.

Your online donors and supporters are bombarded daily with breaking news, advertising, and spam. As a result, your nonprofit only has a very brief moment to capture their attention and inspire them to act on behalf of your nonprofit.

Not every organization is going to have success using the same strategies — which is why we don’t preach that we have the be-all, end-all of event marketing advice. Instead, we will provide you with tactics and guides to improve your current strategies and results, and show you how to determine what is working for your specific donors, your specific event, and your specific organization.
