We're excited to announce the launch of the Nonprofit Newsroom — a powerful new way for organisations to expand their reach and connect with tens of thousands of nonprofits across South Africa.
The challenge we're solving
If you're producing valuable content, research, resources, or running important campaigns, you know the struggle: how do you get your work in front of the nonprofits who need it most? Your existing networks are important, but what about all those organisations you haven't reached yet?
That's where the Nonprofit Newsroom comes in.
What is the Nonprofit Newsroom?
The Nonprofit Newsroom is an innovative platform that allows you to share your services, tools, campaigns, and resources directly with the nonprofit sector through Hashtag Nonprofit's trusted network.
With over 50,000 unique visitors to our website each month, we've built a platform that nonprofits across South Africa rely on for news, resources, and connections. Now, you can tap into that reach with your own branded newsroom page.
How it works
When you sign up for the Nonprofit Newsroom, you get:
- Your own branded page on the Hashtag Nonprofit platform
- Direct access to our audience of 50,000+ monthly visitors
- Multi-channel distribution — your posts appear on your newsroom, the Hashtag Nonprofit front page, social media, and newsletters
- Flexible posting options using a simple credit system
Share whatever matters most to your work: news updates, research reports, events, job opportunities, calls for proposals, or campaign launches.
Simple, affordable pricing
We've designed the Nonprofit Newsroom to be accessible:
- Annual subscription: R5,000 (or R2,500 for registered nonprofits)
- Credits: R500 each
- 1 credit = 1 post (distributed across all channels)
- 3 credits = 1 boosted post with enhanced social media promotion
Why use the Nonprofit Newsroom?
- Expand beyond your existing networks. Reach organisations you've never connected with before.
- Build trust and credibility. Leverage Hashtag Nonprofit's established reputation in the sector.
- Save time and resources. One post, multiple channels — no need to manage separate outreach strategies.
- Create sector-wide impact. When your work reaches more nonprofits, the entire sector benefits.
