DOING GOOD & DOING WELL

DIGITAL MARKETING GRANT

In the digital age, a vibrant online presence is essential for charities to connect with supporters and maximize their impact. You can bring in new members, find more beneficiaries, gather donations, attract volunteers and more. We’re here to guide you through every step, from securing a Digital Marketing Grant to kickstarting and managing your campaigns, ensuring your message reaches the right audience.

    WHAT IS A DIGITAL MARKETING GRANT?

    ABOUT RECEIVING DIGITAL AD CREDIT

    A digital advertising grant consists of up to £95,000 in online ad credit for your organisation to use. This means that while other businesses spend thousands to get the benefits of digital advertising, you’ll be able to run your ads completely free of charge up to a monthly limit.

      WHY IS IT USEFUL?

      THE BENEFITS OF A DIGITAL ADVERTISING GRANT

      Here are the benefits that digital ads can bring to your organisation:

        E

        Contact details of potential new members

        E

        Donations

        The online space is one of the best places to reach a wider audience who might want to support your cause financially.

        Volunteers

        People search for volunteering opportunities all the time. Be one of the first options they see!

        E

        Raising awareness

        For many charities, raising awareness about their mission is a key objective, and you can increase the number of people you reach within days.

        E

        Promoting projects and events

        People can find out about your work and choose to get involved.

        E

        Rather than paying a recruiter to help you fill positions, you can promote these jobs yourself. Even better if they’re remote!

        THE STAGES OF DIGITAL ADVERTISING FOR A CHARITY

        3 KEY STAGES ON YOUR PATH TO DIGITAL PRESENCE

        STAGE 1: GET THE DIGITAL MARKETING GRANT

        The first step is to apply for the ad credit and receive the Digital Marketing Grant. In order to be successful, you need to undergo a thorough verification process and show the value of your charitable work. ………………………………………………………………………….

        STAGE 2: RUN YOUR FIRST CAMPAIGN

        Once you have ad credit to spend, you can set up your first campaign and start bringing people to your website. Because conversion tracking is a must, your first campaign is likely to focus on website traffic, with more complex goals left for later. ………………………………………..

        STAGE 3: OPTIMISE AND GROW MULTIPLE CAMPAIGNS

        The more work you put in, the more complex your conversion tracking and advertising campaigns become. This means you can create a strategy that directly meets your marketing and growth objectives as an organisation. Keep in mind that regular optimisation is key!
