Nonprofit Digital Marketing Agency Hiring Guide

What is a nonprofit digital marketing agency?

A nonprofit digital marketing agency is an agency that works with nonprofit organizations so they can build support from their target audience. Its main service includes creating campaigns around mission-driven work through various digital channels to promote an organization’s services and events, attract donors, and engage volunteers.

Some types of nonprofits are charities, religious and educational organizations, community social welfare associations, and volunteer groups. These institutions typically operate on restricted budgets, team sizes, and timelines.

Nonprofit organizations seek the help of marketing agencies to address the following challenges:

  • Limited budget allocation for effective marketing strategies
  • Lack of in-house experience in engaging donors
  • Limited access to target communities
  • Difficulties in finding and acquiring donors
  • Unclear company positioning and messaging
  • Inefficient targeting and allocation of marketing resources
  • Difficulty in keeping up with the latest trends and technologies
  • Intense competition for donations from larger organizations

A nonprofit digital marketing agency can bring the appropriate tools to develop strategies and promote them to the right communities to attract more sponsors. This specialized agency can craft unique branding and identity through powerful storytelling that clearly conveys a nonprofit’s mission and cause.

Success story

For example, this case study highlights the importance of hiring a digital marketing agency for nonprofits seeking to increase donations effectively:

  • Challenges: Clean Path New York is an infrastructure project aiming to make clean, renewable energy accessible to the public. It struggled to gain community support in a critical early phase.
  • Solution: HelpGood developed a full-scale marketing campaign to build awareness and positive sentiment among New Yorkers. The campaign included paid social, Google search, influencer activations, and an original animated video, all designed to resonate with various audiences, from residents to climate activists and communities in need.
  • Results: The campaign reached 62 million people with a significant 2.3x boost in impressions year-over-year. It also achieved an impressive 80% positive sentiment score across New Yorkers and earned a nod from the prestigious Telly Awards, solidifying the campaign as a successful marketing initiative.

What do nonprofit digital marketing agencies do?

Nonprofit digital marketing agencies provide essential services to help nonprofits achieve their goals. These services include strategic planning, brand development, digital marketing, fundraising and donor management, public relations, analytics and reporting, and event planning and management. They can also develop a sustainable marketing plan that builds long-term relationships with the communities involved. These open more opportunities and reach a larger audience for a nonprofit’s advocacy. 

The services nonprofit digital marketing companies provide include:

  • Strategic planning
    Helping nonprofits define their marketing goals and objectives by streamlining the ideal target audience for the organization.
  • Messaging development
    Developing a compelling organizational message that resonates with the target audience.
  • Brand identity development
    Developing a strong and memorable brand identity, including a logo, color scheme, and typography. It also includes creating brand guidelines to ensure consistency across all marketing materials.
  • Brand positioning
    Positioning the nonprofit organization in the market effectively to differentiate it from competitors.
  • Social media marketing
    Managing social media accounts, creating content, and engaging with followers.
  • Search engine optimization (SEO)
    Optimizing websites to rank higher in search engine results pages.
  • Pay-per-click (PPC) advertising
    Creating and managing paid advertising campaigns on platforms like Google Ads and social media.
  • Email marketing
    Developing and managing email campaigns to reach donors and supporters.
  • Content marketing
    Creating and distributing high-quality content, such as blog posts, articles, and videos.
  • Donor acquisition
    Acquiring new donors by developing impactful and engaging strategies.
  • Donor retention
    Implementing programs to retain existing donors.
  • Donor stewardship
    Building strong relationships with donors through personalized communication and appreciation.
  • Media relations
    Building relationships with media outlets to secure press coverage for the organization.
  • Data tracking
    Tracking key metrics to measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.
  • Reporting and forecasting
    Providing regular reports to stakeholders on the organization’s marketing performance.
  • Event planning
    Organizing and executing events, such as fundraising galas, conferences, and workshops.
  • Event promotion
    Promoting events through various marketing channels.
  • Event logistics
    Managing all aspects of event planning, including venue selection, catering, and staffing.

These services expand the outreach of nonprofit institutions and generate leads for them, allowing those organizations to reach donors and volunteers more effectively. Additionally, they fine-tune the business’ branding and messaging to attract the right audience, improve website conversions, reengage lapsed donors, and maximize the impact of its existing marketing efforts.

By leveraging digital channels, nonprofit digital marketing agencies can reach a wider audience, increase brand visibility, and foster deeper connections with donors and volunteers. Additionally, they can provide valuable data-driven insights to help nonprofit organizations measure the effectiveness of their marketing efforts and make informed decisions.

Success story

This case study highlights the valuable services nonprofit digital marketing agencies offered to organizations seeking to expand their message and advocacy:

  • Challenges: Mission Year, a nonprofit organization, wanted to increase awareness, attract supporters, and raise funds to further its mission of spreading Christianity and promoting social justice. It needed a marketing partner to act as an extension of its internal team.
  • Solution: Luminate Marketing partnered with the organization to develop a marketing strategy, including fundraising, design, Google AdWords, and SEO. The nonprofit digital marketing agency also led the Next Door Campaign, #ComeAlive Campaign, and 20-Year Celebration Branding and managed the Google Ad Grant acquisition for Mission Year.
  • Results: Mission Year increased its visibility, reaching over 1,000 people annually. It has expanded its reach to 1,200 young adults in urban ministries across 4 US cities and saved $800,000 annually, forging a strong partnership with Luminate Marketing.

What is the difference between profit and nonprofit marketing?

The difference between profit and nonprofit marketing lies in the intent and messaging of each campaign. Profit marketing invests in extensive market and competitor research and analysis to find a business’ ideal customers willing to pay in exchange for its products or services.

On the other hand, nonprofit marketing is more about finding like-minded individuals and organizations to further support a cause or advocacy and build communities. More specifically, profit and nonprofit marketing differ in scope, goals, audience types, and metrics:

Profit marketingNonprofit marketing
Scope: Emphasizes promotion, branding, and persuasion to drive sales Scope: Focuses on building relationships, creating communities, and inspiring action 
Goal: To generate revenue and maximize profits for a business Goal: To achieve a social or environmental mission and generate support for a cause 
Audience: Mainly focuses on consumers with spending power to purchase products or services Audience: Includes donors, volunteers, members, and the public 
Metrics: Measured by sales, market share, and ROI Metrics: Measured by awareness, engagement, donations, participation, and social impact 

While differences exist between the two, profit and nonprofit marketing still require effective strategies, compelling messaging, and a deep understanding of their target audience to achieve their respective goals.

How much does it cost to hire a nonprofit digital marketing company?

Hiring a nonprofit digital marketing company costs between $650 and $3,000 a month, depending on the size, location, and level of involvement. Prices also vary depending on the services you need, such as social media marketing, SEO, content creation, or public relations.

Nonprofit digital marketing agencies offer different services, each with unique pricing. Here’s a cost breakdown of how they charge monthly:

  • Search engine optimization (SEO): $500-$2,000
  • Google Ads and pay-per-click (PPC): $1,000-$10,000
  • Email marketing: $20-$300
  • Social media marketing: $400-$1,000
  • Content marketing: $2,000-$10,000

On DesignRush, the top 50 nonprofit digital marketing agencies charge an average of $110/hour. 21.6% of nonprofit digital marketing agencies accept projects within a budget of less than $1,000, providing core marketing services. On the other hand, 0.9% accept projects with a $50,000 minimum budget, offering complex services, such as developing a comprehensive marketing strategy or launching a large-scale campaign.

Why should I hire a nonprofit digital marketing agency?

You should hire a nonprofit digital marketing agency because it has an in-depth understanding of the unique challenges faced by nonprofits. By outsourcing their digital marketing efforts to experts, nonprofit organizations can stay focused on their core mission and activities.

A nonprofit digital marketing agency can help you inspire people to support your cause through its:

  • Ability to use compelling storytelling
  • Expertise in professional creative branding
  • Powerful organic content marketing and SEO initiatives
  • Effective social media marketing
  • Specialized analytics and proactive reporting techniques
  • Access to updated tools and technologies

  • Solution: Summit Marketing developed a multichannel campaign for The Salvation Army Metropolitan Division to introduce the Bed & Bread Club® — a monthly giving program where a donor would give $10 a month — to the community. The initiative used a microsite as an information hub about Chicago’s vulnerable communities.
  • Result: The Bed & Bread Club® has raised over $200,000,000 for The Salvation Army and remains the organization’s highest-performing monthly pledge program. On top of that, 42% of Bed & Bread Club® members give an average of 2.4 appeals per year, proving that the program effectively converts one-time donors into engaged sponsors.

How do I choose the right nonprofit digital marketing company for my business?

Finding the right nonprofit digital marketing company is crucial for achieving your nonprofit goals and making a positive impact on your stakeholders. By following these steps, you can effectively evaluate potential agencies, assess their expertise, and choose a partner that aligns with your mission and values.

Consider these steps when finding the right nonprofit digital marketing agency for your organization:

  1. Define your needs
    Assess the types of marketing you require assistance with. This will help you find an agency that specializes in the services you require and can provide the best possible support.
  2. Determine your goals
    Determine your goals for hiring an agency and set a budget. Clearly articulate what you want to achieve through your marketing efforts. This could include increasing donations, raising awareness, or building a stronger community.
  3. Research nonprofit digital marketing agencies
    Search for agencies online and ask for referrals from colleagues and other nonprofits. You can also look into online listing platforms like DesignRush, which offers comprehensive lists of agencies based on location, team size, and budget.
  4. Assess expertise
    Check their website, portfolio, case studies, and social media presence. Ensure the agency offers the specific services you need, such as social media marketing, search engine optimization (SEO), content creation, or fundraising.
  5. Consider industry reputation
    Read testimonials and reviews from past clients. Look for agencies with a strong reputation in the nonprofit marketing industry and check if they received any awards or recognition for their work.
  6. Shortlist potential partners
    Narrow the list to up to five agencies you want to interview based on your initial research. Send them a request for proposal (RFP). The proposal should include how they will determine the scope of work, the strategies they intend to implement, a clear list of deliverables, and the pricing information.
  7. Get to know the team
    See their team size and the team members’ specializations and ask about their experience in working with nonprofits. A larger team may have more resources and expertise, but a smaller agency can offer personalized attention and a more agile approach.
  8. Interview and assess soft skills
    Schedule the shortlisted companies for interviews to discuss the proposals and learn which will best align with your mission and cause. Consider how they empathize with the cause and their commitment and passion in making a positive social impact through their campaigns.
  9. Choose the right fit
    Decide which agency you want to collaborate with based on your evaluation of the proposals and the interviews.
