MARKETING Mission-Driven Organizations
Your Mission Deserves to Be Heard
You’re doing work that matters, whether it’s advocating for policy change, helping your community, or pushing for equity and access. But good intentions don’t equal awareness, and impact doesn’t just happen. You need clear messaging, eye-catching creative, and the right strategy to reach donors, press, voters, and the people who need to hear from you most.
At First Ascent, we help nonprofits, advocacy groups, and political organizations amplify their message, grow their base, and rally support. Whether you’re launching a new campaign, trying to reach a hyper-local audience, or need a partner who can handle everything from branding to geotargeted ads—we’ve got you.
Build Awareness.
Get Support. Make Change.
We help you move your mission forward through strategic, results-driven marketing that speaks to the right people at the right time.
Branding & Messaging
Clarity builds trust. We help you define your voice, shape your message, and design a brand that reflects your mission so whether you’re talking to donors, community members, or legislators, your message is clear, compelling, and consistent.
Campaign Strategy & Creative
From policy pushes to public education efforts, we build bold, focused campaigns that drive awareness and action. We help you shape the strategy, craft the message, and roll it out across every channel, from digital to IRL.
Paid Ads & Geotargeting
Want to reach voters in a certain zip code? Or donors near your next event? We use location-based targeting, digital ads, and audience segmentation to reach the people who matter most, exactly where they are.
Community & Stakeholder Communications
We help you engage the right people—board members, partners, policymakers, and the public—with strategic messaging, press outreach, and campaign-aligned communications. From talking points to media kits, we make sure your message lands where it needs to.
Donor & Fundraising Campaigns
Whether you’re launching a major giving campaign or encouraging small, recurring donations, we help you craft appeals that connect and convert. From donation landing pages to email campaigns to annual reports, we support every touchpoint in your donor journey.
Website Design & Development
Your website is one of your most powerful tools for raising money, building trust, and sharing your impact. We design sites that make it easy for people to donate, sign up, and learn more. Whether you need ongoing support or a site you can confidently manage in-house, we’ll set you up for success.

FAQ
Can you help with a specific campaign, or do you only work on retainer?
Both. We’ve done one-off voter awareness pushes and long-term partnerships with multi-year strategies. Let us know what you need, and we’ll find the best approach.
How do you help reach local audiences?
We specialize in geofencing and location-targeted ads that reach people by neighborhood, zip code, or radius—perfect for voter engagement, public health campaigns, or community events.
What if we have a small team and limited time?
We get it. Most of our mission-driven clients wear way too many hats. We’re built to support lean teams, so we’ll lead the process, keep things moving, and give you back some breathing room.
Do you work with political candidates or just nonprofits?
Both. We support advocacy campaigns, issue-based coalitions, and candidates who align with our values. If you’re trying to do good, we’re here to help you do it better!
Can you help us get more donations?
Absolutely. From campaign landing pages to fundraising emails to donor retention strategies, we help you make the ask (and get the “yes.”)
