Reaching the CharityChannel Professional Community
To Promote Your Products, Services, and Job Searches
Why CharityChannel?
CharityChannel is the online professional home of tens of thousands of in-the-trenches nonprofit-sector colleagues, a sizable portion of whom have been active on CharityChannel for more than a decade. Indeed, CharityChannel is the oldest and largest online professional 
community in the nonprofit sector, making it a “must” destination for results-oriented advertisers over the years (see Addendum).
CharityChannel began humbly in 1992 as a group of colleagues who wanted to create a professional-level online community where they could discuss the day-to-day real-world challenges of working for and on behalf of nonprofit organizations and educational institutions. Today, CharityChannel colleagues contribute and read articles, discuss their challenges and offer assistance to each other, teach and take online classes, attend conferences, and much more.
The CharityChannel professional community consists of:
-
Visitors and subscribers to the CharityChannel web site. (139,560 annually, as of 9/08)
-
Recipients of the What’s New at CharityChannel? weekly eNewsletter (76,415 circulation, 30,566 directly subscribed).
-
Registrants to CharityUniversity, CharityChannel’s distance learning project.
-
Members of any of the other web sites in the CharityChannel Framework™
True to its practitioner roots, the CharityChannel professional community is comprised of pr
actitioners working at all levels of nonprofit organizations and educational institutions, as well as consultants, attorneys, accountants and other professionals who serve nonprofits.
Advertising Opportunities - Overview
Based on over 16 years of experience and strong communication with our advertisers, we have developed an advertising program that is both simple and effective: Ads are displayed on hundreds of pages of the CharityChannel site, and each week they are pushed out to the professional community as part of the weekly eNewsletter What’s New at CharityChannel? This one-two punch is designed to reach the entire CharityChannel professional community, as well as to reinforce the advertising message over time. Maximum reach, and constant reinforcement – a powerful combination.

Inclusion of your ad in the weekly eNewsletter What’s New at CharityChannel? This pushes your ad out to tens of thousands of CharityChannel colleagues each week, along with a link back to your web site or, at your option, a page on the CharityChannel site where you provide additional information on your services or products.
-
Placement of your ad on all pages of CharityChannel that carry advertising. Ads rotate in, with the system tracking each individual CharityChannel colleague as he/she navigates the site. This ensures that your ad is viewed even if a visitor “parks” on just one page for an extended period, or navigates throughout the site.
