Propeller makes it easy for people to take action. And there were a lot of actions taken via our platform in 2023 (over 2M to be exact)!
There are over 1.5 million nonprofit organizations in the US. It's a staggering amount of groups doing a lot of very different things.
That's why we've created cause verticals aka Movements on Propeller to make it simple for our community to directly support the issues they care about most. Each movement consists of actions and rewards in support of leading nonprofits in the space.
We invested a lot of time and energy into evolving our these verticals over the course of 2023. And that effort paid off with record levels of engagement.
"The Propeller team has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Their platform is truly unique and has helped my organization bring younger, more diverse audiences onto our list while becoming our largest source of acquisition and raising tens of thousands of dollars directly on Propeller. We've worked together to test a customized onboarding series that has continued to pay dividends and increase our ROI with Propeller leads. Working with an impressive list of artists, influencers and festivals, they've been instrumental in helping us forge new relationships and strengthen existing ones, including with Justin Bieber, Lil Dicky, Kevin Gates and dozens more. They've also taken our offline marketing activations to the next level, and have generated a ton of brand awareness for us across the country - from Bonnaroo to Outside Lands. Working at the intersection of social good, digital advocacy, and entertainment, Propeller's business model is one-of-a-kind and a boon to any organization looking to implement new-age marketing tactics that result in measurable impact."
"We started working with the Propeller team in 2021 to build critical support for our 'Count Me In' movement for transgender and non-binary equality. The platform, and its influencer campaigns quickly became one of our largest and most effective sources of supporter and donor acquisition for many different programs -- helping us reach new audiences, directly raising money for our mission, and converting new monthly donors. And we have even bigger plans as we head into our third year together. This innovative and vibrant team has added a new level of value, and fun to our fundraising."
