NONPROFITS
3 key factors to marketing mission-driven organizations
ACCEPT THE NEED
We understand nonprofits and that marketing may make you uncomfortable. Contrary to popular belief, though, you need to do this. Consider that every day you’re “selling” the mission to donors, members, foundations, sponsors and volunteers.
STRATEGY FIRST
You don’t have millions to spend on marketing, and that’s OK. You need a communications strategy, and strategy isn’t about the money. It’s about laser-focused goals. A powerful marketing strategy will energize your messaging and get you results.
TACTICS FOR SUCCESS
We have immersed ourselves in nonprofit storytelling. Let us help tell your story. With an array of marketing tactics, powered by smart communications strategy, we can move the needle for you.

“We’ve seen steady month-to-month growth in key in-store metrics. It is evident that the combination of our online and offline campaign are working together to Move the Needle.”
“Our organization was going through a leadership transition and determined that we needed to refocus and rebrand. AMPERAGE partnered with us and helped us assess our status and capabilities to move forward. Our new name and message has been positively received and welcomed both within our organization and throughout the community. We could not have executed this organizational change alone.”
