We’re continuing our series on new donor acquisition—and today we’re getting into the basics of how you can use the Google Ad Grant to attract potential donors through digital content offers.

The truth is, most nonprofits aren’t taking full advantage of the Google Ad Grant because they don’t know it works, or because they don’t have a clear strategy on how to use it.

In today’s chat, Chris Barlow gets into everything you need to know to get started with the grant—and he also shares a simple strategy to attract new donors using digital content.

We get into the 3 key steps for a digital donor growth campaign:

1. Creating a valuable resource for a community that aligns with your mission
2. Getting the resource into donors’ hands using the Google Ad Grant
3. Converting these new relationships into lasting support

Chris is the founder and Customer Happiness Director at Beeeline, a consultancy that specializes in helping nonprofits grow their mission and donor base through digital marketing.

Have you ever used paid Facebook and Instagram ads to support your fundraising?

Ads can supercharge your donor acquisition strategy, but they can also be a little scary if you’re just starting out—and if you’re new to digital marketing.

To continue our series on new donor acquisition, we’re chatting with Dana Snyder from Positive Equation, host of the Missions To Movements podcast and Creator of the Monthly Giving Mastermind.

Her mission is to equip nonprofits with the knowledge of how to use social media ads to attract potential supporters to their cause and create sustainable giving models by building monthly giving programs for everyone to become a philanthropist.

In our chat, we get into:

• Myths vs. Facts when it comes to paid ads
• How to think about the lifetime value of a donor acquire through ads
• The right way to set up a lead generation campaign using Facebook Ads Manager
• A step-by-step breakdown of how to automate email list growth using an ad strategy

If you’ve never run ads before, or if you’re a seasoned pro, you’ll find useful and valuable advice here.

So you want to find new donors online?

Then this is a foundational podcast episode for you to listen to.

We’re beginning our series on online new donor acquisition with a master of digital fundraising: Jeff Giddens from NextAfter.

In our chat, we get into:

• Why sending prospective donors to a donation page might not be effective if you want to actually get a first gift from someone
• Why trying to understand donors is a better strategy than trying to get them to understand your cause
• How to think about your new donor acquisition strategy using content offers
• How to find, create and develop content offers prospective donors might actually want to download
• How to build an effective acquisition funnel
• How to drive traffic to your funnel using paid ads
• The key metrics you should keep an eye on to begin testing and optimizing your acquisition funnel

Along the way, we also get into how direct mail—and even door to door fundraising!—can influence the way you think about new donor acquisition online.
