PR for nonprofits

PR for nonprofits means earning the trust of donors, volunteers and local press: pitch local reporters with a person and a number, apply for Google Ad Grants (up to $10,000 a month in search ads for eligible charities), publish your data for Candid's free Seal of Transparency, and buy labeled placements only where a date matters.

Start with the job

What PR does for a nonprofit, and what it does not

Nonprofit PR is telling the public, through people they trust, what your organization does and why it matters: to raise money, recruit volunteers, fill events and move an issue. It works when it carries proof.

What it does

  • Builds trust before the ask

    A local story, an op-ed or a feature gives donors and funders an independent account of your work to check.

  • Recruits people

    Coverage of a program, an event or a need brings volunteers, attendees and partners who were not on your list.

  • Explains the issue

    Reporters turn your data and your people's stories into something officials and neighbors read.

  • Feeds the search for your name

    Articles and profiles rank for your organization and give Google and AI assistants sources to describe it.

What it does not do

  • Promise coverage

    Reporters decide what is news. Nobody, paid or not, can promise a story.

  • Count toward Wikipedia

    Wikipedia's organizations guideline says paid media does not count: "Only unpaid sources count."

  • Replace transparency

    Donors check your data on Candid and BBB Wise Giving Alliance too. A good story with missing financials undercuts itself.

  • Back a candidate

    The IRS says 501(c)(3) organizations are absolutely prohibited from intervening in any political campaign for or against a candidate.

Free first

The free and low-cost routes, first: Ad Grants, seals and tools

Most of what a small nonprofit needs costs staff time, not money. These are the programs we read on the providers' own pages, with what each requires.

Google Ad Grants: what keeps the account active

  • Join Google for Nonprofits first: your organization must hold valid charity status in your country and be verified by Google's validation partner, Goodstack.
  • Activate Ad Grants from Google for Nonprofits with the same login email, then accept the email invitation to the account.
  • Keep a 5% click-through rate each month at account level. 2 months in a row below it means temporary deactivation; pause low-CTR keywords and request reinstatement.
  • Track real conversions (donations, sign-ups, volunteer forms) and record at least 1 a month. Time on site or homepage visits must sit in the "Other" category.
  • Use conversion-based Smart bidding: Maximize conversions, Maximize conversion values, Target CPA or Target ROAS, unless you run Smart campaigns.
  • Add at least 2 sitelink assets, target the locations where your services are useful, and answer Google's program survey.

Google reserves the right to grant or deny participation at any time and to amend the guidelines. Government entities, hospitals and health care organizations, and schools and universities are not eligible; their charitable arms, foundations and philanthropic arms can be.

Earned coverage

How to get local news coverage for a nonprofit, in 7 steps

Local reporters are the natural audience for most nonprofits, and there are fewer of them: Medill counts 213 news desert counties in 2025, up from 206 a year earlier, and 136 newspaper closures in the past year. Pitch the ones who remain with stories they can use.

  1. 1. Find the story, not the announcement

    A person whose life changed, a number nobody has published, a date that makes it urgent. "We held our gala" is not a story; what the money did is.

  2. 2. Get consent first

    Anyone you offer for an interview, and anyone in a photo, agrees in writing before you pitch (our recommendation).

  3. 3. Pick the reporter

    Search the local paper, TV and radio sites for who covered your issue recently. Pitch that person by name, not the general inbox.

  4. 4. Write the pitch short

    The news in the first sentence, why readers in the area care, the proof, who can talk and when. Paste details below; do not attach files.

  5. 5. Offer access and pictures

    A site visit, a volunteer shift, an event a photographer can shoot, an expert on your team. Access is what turns a pitch into a story.

  6. 6. Follow up once, with something new

    A new figure, a confirmed interview slot or a photo opportunity. Then stop.

  7. 7. Thank, share and correct

    Share the story, thank the reporter, and if a fact is wrong, ask for a correction politely with the source.

Angles local reporters use

Local data

Your own figures on the need you see: waiting lists, meals served, calls answered, compared with last year.

A person at a turning point

A single client, volunteer or donor whose story shows the work, told with their consent.

A date with a reason

A season, a law taking effect, an awareness day, an anniversary of your founding or of an event.

An event worth a photo

Openings, builds, races, drives and visits a photographer can shoot.

An expert view on the news

When a story breaks in your field, offer a short, quotable explanation the same day.

A partnership

A new program with a school, a business or the city, with what it changes for people nearby.

Earned or paid

Earned coverage, a wire, an agency or a paid placement: what each costs

Earned coverage is a story a reporter chooses to write; nobody can buy it. A wire distributes your release; a paid placement buys a page on a named outlet, with the label the outlet uses. Most nonprofits use the free routes and pay only for dates that matter.

5 routes compared. Agency fees from the sources in our PR agency cost guide; wire price from EIN Presswire's page; Essentras prices from the catalog. All read 19 Oct 2026.

Donor trust

Donor trust: the checks donors and funders run, and the rules for your message

Before a gift, many donors look you up. What they find on the trust platforms and in official records matters as much as any article, and the IRS sets limits on what a charity's message can say.

Candid Seal of Transparency

Free at every level. Bronze is basic contact and mission information; Silver adds programs; Gold adds recent financials and leadership demographics; Platinum adds goals, strategies and impact metrics. It expires 2 years after your last update.

BBB Wise Giving Alliance

Evaluates charities at no charge against 20 standards in 4 areas: governance and oversight, measuring effectiveness, finances, and solicitations and informational materials.

Your IRS listing

Donors and journalists can check your status in the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search. Make sure the name they find matches the one you pitch.

No campaign intervention

The IRS says 501(c)(3) organizations are "absolutely prohibited" from directly or indirectly intervening in any political campaign for or against a candidate. Keep candidates out of your PR.

Lobbying has a limit

The IRS says a 501(c)(3) "may engage in some lobbying, but too much lobbying activity risks loss of tax-exempt status." Ask your counsel before an issue campaign.

A single set of numbers

The figures in your pitches, website and annual report should match your financial filings. Reporters check (our recommendation).

This section quotes official pages; it is not tax or legal advice. Ask a qualified adviser about your organization.

Questions to ask a PR agency or consultant

Before any contract.

1. Which nonprofits like ours have you placed in the last year? Links, please.
2. Do you offer nonprofit rates? What is the total cost, and what is billed on top?
3. What will you pitch, to whom and when? Can I see the plan in writing?
4. Do you promise coverage? (A reputable agency does not.)
5. Who on your team does the work, and how do you report results?
6. Do you use paid placements? Which ones, and how are they labeled?
7. How do you handle consent for the people in our stories?

Avoid these

Nonprofit PR mistakes that cost trust

Pitching the organization, not a story

Reporters cover people, numbers and change. "We exist and we are great" is not news.

Blasting a release to everyone

A personal pitch to the reporter who covers your issue beats a list. Distribution is not coverage.

Letting Ad Grants lapse

2 months under a 5% click-through rate, or no conversion, can deactivate the account. Check it monthly.

Numbers that do not match the filings

Reporters and donors compare. The same figures, everywhere.

Stories without consent

Name or photograph a client only with written consent, and never in a way that exposes them (our recommendation).

Backing a candidate

The IRS prohibition on campaign intervention for 501(c)(3) organizations is absolute. Keep it out of every message.

Buying placements for Wikipedia

Wikipedia's organizations guideline: "Only unpaid sources count." Paid press will not qualify you.

Calling a paid page coverage

A paid placement is fine; presenting it to donors as earned news is not. Say "paid feature" where you share it.

Add-ons and lighter starts

Optional. Nothing here is required, and none of it changes what a platform, an editor or Google decides.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does PR cost for a nonprofit?▾

It can cost $0: pitching local reporters, Google Ad Grants and Candid's Seal are free. Published agency retainers run from $1,500 to $75,000 a month; a wire release starts at $149; paid placements start at $97 in the Essentras catalog.

What is Google Ad Grants and who qualifies?▾

Up to $10,000 a month in search ads on Google.com for qualifying nonprofits. You need valid charity status and Google for Nonprofits approval. Government entities, hospitals and health care organizations, and schools and universities are not eligible; their charitable or philanthropic arms can be.

How do we keep Google Ad Grants active?▾

Keep a 5% account-level click-through rate each month, record at least 1 real conversion a month, use conversion-based Smart bidding, add 2 sitelinks, target the right locations and answer the program survey. 2 months under 5% means temporary deactivation.

How do we get local news coverage?▾

Pitch a story, not an announcement: a person who agreed to talk, a local number and a reason it matters now, sent to the reporter who covers your issue. Offer access and photos, follow up once with something new, and thank them when it runs.

Is paid media worth it for a nonprofit?▾

Sometimes: when a page on a named outlet by a date matters, such as an event, a campaign launch or an annual report. It is paid, labeled as the listing states, and it does not count for Wikipedia. Start with the free routes; 283 US outlets list at $2,167 if your local paper is among them.

What builds donor trust online?▾

Transparent data donors can check. Candid's Seal is free at every level, and Candid says nonprofits with a Seal receive on average 62% more in donor contributions. BBB Wise Giving Alliance evaluates charities at no charge against 20 standards.

Can a nonprofit endorse a candidate in its PR?▾

Not a 501(c)(3). The IRS says these organizations are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in any political campaign for or against a candidate for elective office. Lobbying is limited too. Ask your counsel; this is not legal advice.

Are paid placements labeled?▾

Each listing states its label before you pay. The 283 US outlets at $2,167 all state they publish with no sponsored label; the AP News; Press Release listing states "Published with a sponsored or partner label." Either way it is a paid placement, not earned coverage.

Will press coverage get us a Wikipedia page?▾

Not paid coverage. Wikipedia's organizations guideline, which covers most nonprofits, says paid media does not count: "Only unpaid sources count." Independent, significant coverage is what counts, and volunteer editors decide.
