For associations, chambers and public bodies

A monthly supporter is a relationship. Does your site invite one?

An illustration of simple arithmetic, not a forecast.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

Notes we keep hearing from nonprofits.

Small budgets, short attention spans and no one to own the website. Here is what organisations tell us, and our reply to each.

  • POSTCARD FROM A NONPROFIT

    Members ask what they get for the dues.

    Our best resources sit behind the login, so prospects cannot see them and the renewal email has to do all the selling.

    OUR REPLY

    Public pages that show what each benefit includes, a page per credential and event, and a renewal path that reminds members what they used.

    SEO and copywriting
  • POSTCARD FROM A NONPROFIT

    The accessibility deadline is real and our vendor is vague.

    Our forms, PDFs and payment pages were built years ago, and nobody can tell us what fails.

    OUR REPLY

    A tested list of failures by page and form, fixed in order of use, with accessibility written into the build.

    Website and web tools
  • POSTCARD FROM A NONPROFIT

    Only the vendor can post an agenda.

    The clerk waits on a developer, the notice goes up late and may not meet your state's rules.

    OUR REPLY

    A site your staff can update, with agenda, notice and minutes templates that post on time in accessible formats.

    Website redesign
  • POSTCARD FROM A NONPROFIT

    The conference sells out late, or not at all.

    Registrations bunch up in the last weeks, and we cannot see which emails or ads brought people in.

    OUR REPLY

    Campaigns tied to early-bird and deadline dates, landing pages per event and tracking from click to registration.

    Paid ads and conversion
  • POSTCARD FROM A NONPROFIT

    Sponsors want numbers we do not publish.

    Our prospectus is a PDF from two years ago, and the sales conversation starts from scratch every time.

    OUR REPLY

    A sponsor and exhibitor section with packages, audience facts you can document and a named contact.

    Copywriting and branding
  • POSTCARD FROM A NONPROFIT

    Nobody owns the rules on the website.

    The lobbying notice, the not-deductible statement, the records notice and the email opt-out each live with a different person.

    OUR REPLY

    A compliance checklist for the site and every campaign, reviewed by your counsel and tax adviser before launch.

    Growth Manager
  • POSTCARD FROM A NONPROFIT

    The phones ring with questions the site should answer.

    Residents and members call because they cannot find the form, the date or the fee.

    OUR REPLY

    Top-task pages written in plain language, with the answer in the first sentence and the form one tap away.

    Conversion and copywriting

FROM A FIRST LOOK TO A LASTING SUPPORTER

Meet people at every step of the giving path.

Most people do not give on the first visit. They move through five steps, and your website, emails and ads can meet them at each one.

  1. STEP 1 OF 5

    Find

    “Who offers this credential, event or service, and is it the official one?”

    A page for each benefit, event and task, written so search and AI can quote it.

    SEO and AI search
  2. STEP 2 OF 5

    Trust

    “Is this worth the dues, or is this really the city site?”

    Dues and benefits in plain terms, named people, a real address and current dates.

    Website and copywriting
  3. STEP 3 OF 5

    Act

    “Can I join, register or pay on my phone right now?”

    A short, accessible form that works with a keyboard and a screen reader.

    Conversion and web tools
  4. STEP 4 OF 5

    Use

    “Am I getting what I joined for, or what I came for?”

    One login, easy event registration and resources that are easy to find.

    Website
  5. STEP 5 OF 5

    Renew

    “Is it worth another year, and will they tell me what is coming?”

    A clear renewal, a reason to stay and emails that respect consent.

APPEALS THAT WORK

Say what a gift actually does.

Donors give to a clear outcome, not to a general plea. Here is the difference a rewrite makes, in a sentence.

  • INSTEAD OF

    Join now. Dues are fully tax deductible.

    SAY

    We estimate [percentage] of your dues is spent on lobbying and political activity and is not deductible. Ask your tax adviser about the rest.

    Associations that lobby must tell members the lobbying share of dues under IRC 6033(e), and a deductibility promise is tax advice.

  • INSTEAD OF

    Support our advocacy fund. Every gift helps.

    SAY

    Contributions to [association] are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes.

    A non-charity soliciting contributions must say so clearly under IRC 6113, unless it falls under the small-organization exception.

  • INSTEAD OF

    Our fully ADA compliant website.

    SAY

    We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 AA. If something does not work for you, contact [name] at [phone] and we will help.

    A blanket compliance claim is hard to prove and invites challenge. A named route for help is what people with disabilities need.

  • INSTEAD OF

    Reach thousands of decision makers as a sponsor.

    SAY

    Last year [number] people attended, [share] of them in [roles]. Here is the prospectus with each package.

    Sponsors buy the audience. A vague reach claim with no count, date or breakdown does not sell and is easy to dispute.

  • INSTEAD OF

    Vote yes on Measure [X] to protect our parks.

    SAY

    Measure [X] would [effect]. Here is the full text, the cost estimate and the election date.

    Official channels are official resources. Election advocacy on them raises Hatch Act and state law questions, so facts and dates are the safer job.

Illustrative examples. Placeholders in brackets are filled in with your real programmes and figures.

YOUR GROWTH MANAGER

Your organization gets a growth manager who understands associations and public bodies.

A growth manager is the person accountable for growing your organization online. Yours is briefed on how members, sponsors and residents use your site. That covers the membership year, events, renewal, the ADA web rule, dues lobbying notices, records rules and AI search. They are your number one contact, alongside your project manager or specialist, and they give you something your board or council can read every month.

Your monthly brief for the board or councilEVERY MONTH
  1. 1Joins, renewals, registrations and tasksWhat came in this month, from which page and source, and what residents completed online.
  2. 2What workedThe pages, events, emails and campaigns that earned a place in next month.
  3. 3Where people gave upThe form, page or step that lost the most members or residents, and the accessibility issues found.
  4. 4What to do nextOur recommendation, in order, tied to your membership year, event calendar or budget cycle, with a line for your board.

Prepared by your growth manager. Plain English, ready for the board.

ALREADY KNOWS

What your growth manager brings on day one

  • How professionals and companies decide whether an association is worth the dues
  • Why the second-year renewal is the real test of membership value
  • What the ADA Title II web rule requires of public bodies, and by when
  • Why a 501(c)(6) must show the lobbying share of dues, and where the notice goes
  • How to keep the association, its foundation and its PAC apart online
  • How agenda posting and public records notices affect a public website
  • Which member emails count as commercial under email law
  • How AI assistants answer how-to-join and how-do-I questions
  • Owns the plan

    Decides what to do next, and in what order, against your membership year, events and deadlines.

  • Meets you every month

    A monthly meeting to review joins, renewals, registrations and completed tasks and agree the priorities.

  • Recommends, honestly

    Clear advice, including when a campaign, a claim or a page is not worth the risk or the budget.

  • Brings in specialists

    Recommends and coordinates our SEO, ads, website, copy and brand specialists when you choose to buy the work.

The Growth Manager Advisor level gives direction and advice, not hands-on implementation. Many organizations start there and add services when they are ready. Established organizations can keep a growth manager on its own.

QUESTIONS

Questions nonprofits ask us.

Book a call
What does a growth manager actually do for an association or public body?

Your growth manager owns the plan for growing your organization online. They review joins, renewals, registrations and completed tasks each month and recommend what to do next. They meet you monthly and bring in our specialists when you choose to buy the work. At the Advisor level they give direction and advice rather than doing the hands-on work. Many organizations start there, and established ones can keep one on its own.

Do we have to buy every service?

No. Start with a growth manager, or with any single service, and add more when it makes sense. We would rather you buy the one thing that fits than a package you do not need. The free audit tells us where to begin.

How much does it cost?

It depends on which services fit your organization and your budget, so we scope it after the free audit instead of guessing. We will tell you the cost before you commit. For SEO we recommend six months because it takes time to compound, and we report every month so your board or council can see what is happening.

Can you guarantee members, registrations or rankings?

No, and be wary of anyone who does. Search engines and AI assistants change, and results also depend on your member value, your events and how quickly your team replies. We guarantee the work: a documented plan, a growth manager and project manager, monthly reporting and honest advice about what is and is not working.

Do you know the accessibility, tax and records rules?

We research the rules that apply to your organization and build around them. That includes the ADA Title II web rule, lobbying notices on dues, not-deductible statements, records notices and email law. We flag risks before anything goes live. We are not lawyers or tax advisers, so your counsel and adviser have final sign-off.

Can you work with our membership system and our procurement rules?

Yes. We build around the systems you already use, from your membership database and event platform to your payment provider, and we recommend changes where the path loses people. Public bodies often have procurement steps, so tell us yours on the first call and we will work within them.

What do you need from us to start?

Your website address and access to analytics and your membership or service systems if you have them. Then a short call about your members or residents, your calendar and your goals. The audit itself is free.
