Finding ways of earning money for you nonprofit organizations isn’t easy. What’s even harder is trying to find ways of promoting your group without spending a small fortune in advertising. Though these types of groups don’t have to worry about paying sales tax, it still costs money to keep them going. So here are a few ideas on how to promote your nonprofit organizations for little or no money.
If placing an ad in the local paper just isn’t in the budget, try writing a letter to the editor. This is a free way of getting your voice heard and it could be a and interesting way of telling people about your group. Keep in mind you should either be answering an already existing topic of conversation or discussing an ongoing issue.
Does your local paper have a weekly section on neighborhood happenings? This might be the place to promote your nonprofit organization. Even if it costs a small fee to have your group involved, the publicity could very well be worth it. Some newspapers offer free listings for nonprofit groups to talk about fund raisers or local events that they’re putting on. Check with your paper to see if they do this type of thing.
If you’re in charge of a youth organization, have the kids make fliers to announce an upcoming event. Not only will it give your group a little free advertising, it’s a great way to teach the kids about promoting themselves and about saving money. Some youth groups will also give out awards and/or patches to those who stand out in group promotions.
As a way to get a lot of free exposure, set up a web page for your nonprofit organization. There are several places online where you can get a free website, web page, or even a free blog. You can promote your group without cost and keep everyone within the group updated on all the latest happenings. If someone in the organization is a prolific blogger, they might also be able to set up a way to monetize the site and bring in a little extra money.
