There are three options for advertising in Nonprofit Essentials:
- Top Content ads ($900/issue) appear in the body of the newsletter, “above the fold,” and will link to a landing page of your choice.
- Mid Content ads ($600/issue) appear in the body of the newsletter, usually after the first two featured stories, and will link to a landing page of your choice.
- Bottom Content ads ($420/issue) appear in the body of newsletter, after the main features, and will link to a landing page of your choice.
Ads are preferred in .PNG format but can be accepted as .GIF, or .JPG. Ads should be no larger than 534 x 100 pixels, resolution of 300 dpi, and file size not to exceed 30kb. We cannot accept animated ads.
