About Us
Community Boost was founded in 2012 on a single conviction. Nonprofits were being underserved by agencies that didn't understand the sector, and we set out to build one that did.
We started with the Google Ad Grant, a program most nonprofits had access to but few could use effectively. That work gave us a ground-level understanding of how nonprofits think, what they can realistically sustain, and what they actually need from a partner. From there we grew into a full-service agency spanning every digital channel.
Thirteen years later we are a team of 60 people who have worked with more than 1,500 nonprofits across humanitarian aid, education, health, climate, and more. Every person here chose this work on purpose. That shared commitment is what clients notice, and it is what keeps them with us.
"We exist to help mission-driven organizations harness the full power of digital marketing to find new supporters and scale their revenue."
The nonprofits winning today aren't the ones running the most ads. They're the ones building the most loyal supporters — people who feel connected to the mission, trust the work, and keep showing up.
That belief drives everything we build for our clients. The way we put it into practice is through Build, Activate, Deepen — our framework for growing the community around your mission, inspiring the first action, and turning supporters into lifelong advocates across every channel we manage.
