Marketing for your mission
Make it easier for people to support your mission.
Anchor is a marketing firm for nonprofits, schools and the businesses that back them. We take the marketing off your plate: your brand, your website, your events, your content and your sponsor program.
We reply same business day.

What we believe
Most organizations don't have a marketing problem.
They have nothing set up to catch what marketing brings them.
People hear about you and look you up, ready to help. Then the next step isn't clear, and they move on. Support happens in three steps, and each one depends on the one before it.
STEP ONE
They find you
Someone hears your name and looks you up. What they see in the first ten seconds decides if they keep going.
STEP TWO
They trust you
Everything looks like it came from the same place, and other people are saying good things about you.
STEP THREE
They support you
Giving, signing up or sponsoring is a few taps. A thank-you shows up right away. Next year, they come back.
When one step is missing, more marketing won't help. So we fix the leak before we fill the bucket.
What we do
Start with what matters most today.
Where most clients start
Your website, handled all year.
We design it, write it and launch it. Then we handle every update, form, event page and giving page for the year. You send a request. We do the work fast. Nobody on your staff has to learn a new tool.
Pope John Paul II High School gives families, alumni and donors one place to find events, give and learn about admissions. We built the site and keep it updated year round.
Includes
Website build and ongoing care · Giving and event pages · Forms and funnels · Sponsor page and invoicing · Fast updates on request
Built to pay for itself
You own more than you're selling.
Your events, your email list, your website visitors, your programs and your signs all reach people. Local businesses will pay to stand next to them once someone shows them the value.
We help you build an anchor sponsor program. An anchor sponsor is a partner who signs on for the whole year and helps cover your operating costs, our fee included. Then more of what you raise goes to the mission.
STEP ONE
Count it
Your website and the systems around it count your audience.
STEP TWO
Price it
Real numbers let you set a real price and show a business what it gets.
STEP THREE
Sell it
You make the ask, with a page and a price sheet from us. Sponsors who see results renew.
We never take a cut of what you raise. Your donors and sponsors stay yours.
How we work
White gloves and work gloves.
You get someone who knows your name, and a crew that does the work.
You hear back the same day.
Every message gets an answer the same business day. If we don't have the answer yet, we tell you that, and when you'll have it.
You talk to one person.
They know your name and your organization. Behind them is a crew that does the work.
You send a request. It gets done.
No tool to learn and no long wait. We make the change and tell you when it's live.
You own all of it.
Your domain, your accounts, your lists and your data stay in your name.
