Cause Marketing Works!

Step one: Decide you want to make a big difference, grow market share, and become known as the person in the community who knows where to find answers. It’s about marketing for your business, work, or organization. Maybe, it is all three! You’ll learn how to coordinate the Nonprofit Cooperative in your community, which gets you in front of people and taps you into an area where people care.

Why a Nonprofit Cooperative?

Small communities (population under 30,000) have put together nonprofit cooperatives to enhance individual success through group success. It’s the philosophy of giving back in order to move forward. Gayle Gross, founder and CEO of SOAR with Network Fundraising, lives by this philosophy. She gives nonprofits an opportunity to create their own success by developing a cooperative program. This program is usually spearheaded by a business to create social impact where they become the “community connector.”

Benefits of a Nonprofit cooperative

The Nonprofit Cooperative relieves donor fatigue. People get tired of being asked over and over again for money. This happens in small communities. It’s where the ratio of nonprofits to potential donors is really magnified. It is quickly apparent, the Nonprofit Cooperative lessens burnout for fundraising professionals. There’s an immediate support system among peers, nonprofit events cease to overlap, and people in the community begin to see the benefit of their unity. Organizations gain credibility. Marketing is often done together and this helps to reduce costs.

Who benefits most in a community?

Everyone!

  • For-profit businesses have the opportunity to spearhead the program and they get in touch with a group of nonprofits in the community. All nonprofits have their network of followers. The for-profit also becomes the “community connector” in their area, which is a powerful marketing tool
  • Nonprofits learn how to collaborate effectively to increase their bottom line. There’s greater awareness and opportunities
  • The community feels relieved of donor fatigue
