The Need for Digital Marketing in the Non-Profit Sector (2023 Data)

According to a 2023 Nonprofits Tech for Good report, over half of nonprofits (more than 50%) are now using social media ads to reach supporters. This means that the most important skill for Nonprofits marketers in the future will be creating digital marketing campaigns that turn followers into people who donate money. However, the report also highlights that 47% of nonprofits are not ready to execute digital marketing campaign. This gap between adoption and strategic implementation makes me think that we are in need for targeted educational resources like this Digital Marketing Course for NGOs.

Digital marketing has become a powerful tool for nonprofits, offering an efficient and effective way to connect with various stakeholders.  It allows nonprofits to reach a wider audience at a lower cost compared to traditional methods.
