GoodAds is a free advertisement platform for Non Profits. The objective behind GoodAds is to help Non Profits raise more funding by reaching out to a wider audience, especially in times of crisis like we COVID19 has presented, without shelling out huge amounts of money on ad campaigns and digital advertising agencies, a luxury a lot of Non Profits cannot afford. Instead, with GoodAds, Non Profits can sign up with as advertisers and we charge the Non Profit with a small percentage of the funds they raise through our ads.
Non Profits undertake work that is important for the society and they truly help make our world a better place. As such, at a lot of Non Profits, there aren't a lot of funds to spare for publicity and expensive ad campaings. However, getting their word out and raising more funding for their initiatives is also essential for them to function. Good Ads aims to solve this problem by developing an ad platform where the barrier to entry is $0, unlike other platforms like GoogleAds and FacebookAds where a significant upfront investment is required.
