Nonprofit Marketing Campaign
This renowned Dallas nonprofit enlisted agency help for their North Texas Giving Day 2021 marketing campaign. My assignment was to tell a cohesive story across multiple channels that prompted donors to give.
The Client:
Track15 Nonprofit Client
​
Track15 is a nonprofit fundraising agency that offloads the daily tasks associated with the advancement and stewardship of an organization’s donor base. Their client serves low-income Dallas communities with a food pantry, free healthcare services, a financial savings program, and other educational programming.
The Challenge:
Create an omni-channel campaign with compelling copy and a call-to-action leading up to the annual giving day. Exceed the nonprofit’s 2020 North Texas Giving Day fundraising success by at least 5%.

The Solution
Utilize back-to-school season to highlight the nonprofit’s services for children. Create a 6-week cadence of storytelling and solicitation for the target audiences using the campaign flow below.




Email Marketing
I wrote 9 marketing emails using storytelling copy and photos to cultivate segmented audiences prior to the giving day.
​
In conjunction with the grant writing and programs team, we gathered current data outcomes for the food pantry and Clinic. As the afterschool program was still in development, I kept in touch with the program director throughout the campaign to provide progress updates. Most importantly, I collected stories from neighbors who benefit from the nonprofit's programs. The audience responds warmly to personal anecdotes–which is the perfect time to follow up with a call to action.
Social Media Content
I wrote 7 organic social media posts and 1 social media ad. The posts echoed the email content and appealed to a more general audience. The ad ran for 1 month to a lookalike audience and generated a click through rate of 3%.


The Success
The nonprofit raised $193,930 from 203 donors by the end of the giving day–a 42% growth from the year prior. The average gift size of $955 was 41% higher the year prior.
The client was thrilled with the overall outcome, as well as with the following digital marketing outcomes.
