The Gift of Growth

Expanding Your Email List with Free Resources

Offering downloadable resources is a powerful way to engage your audience while expanding your nonprofit’s email list. By providing valuable, mission aligned materials, you not only showcase your expertise but also create an opportunity to connect with supporters on a deeper level. These resources act as lead magnets, encouraging people to share their email addresses in exchange for tools or information they find helpful. 


Why Free Resources Work 

Free resources cater to your audience’s need for practical and accessible information. They position your organization as a trusted source of knowledge while allowing you to build relationships with potential supporters. Whether it’s a guide, checklist, or curated list, these tools align with your mission and offer supporters something meaningful that keeps them engaged. 


An Example in Action 

Missing Pieces Support Group offers an excellent example of how free resources can amplify your nonprofit’s impact. On their website, they provide a comprehensive list of resources tailored to individuals experiencing pregnancy loss. Visitors can access: 

Blogs and Articles: Insightful and comforting pieces addressing grief and healing.



Book Recommendations: Curated suggestions with direct download links to help individuals find support through literature. 

Songs for Comfort: A playlist of soothing music to aid emotional recovery. Support Group Listings: A directory of local and virtual groups offering community and guidance. 


By offering these resources, Missing Pieces not only fulfills its mission of providing support but also grows its email list, creating opportunities to share updates, campaigns, and ways to get involved. 


Ideas for Your Nonprofit 

If you’re considering offering resources, here are a few ideas to get you started: Guides: “How-to” manuals or step-by-step instructions related to your mission. 


Templates: Planning tools like meal plans, budgets, or checklists. Infographics: Visual representations of data or statistics relevant to your cause. 


Resource Lists: Recommendations for books, podcasts, or online tools. 


Free resources are a win-win for your nonprofit and its supporters. They provide value to your audience while helping you grow a database of engaged individuals ready to support your mission. Start by identifying the unique needs of your community and creating materials that align with your expertise and goals. These tools can serve as a cornerstone for building relationships and expanding your nonprofit’s reach.
