3BL Professional vs. DonationMatch

I would (and do) recommend 3BL Professional to any company/org trying to expand the reach of it's CR programs. Often communications is how we justify the budget for our program work (communications help us increase brand reputation, reach potential employees, reach investors and ESG analysts). The 3BL platform is an incredible way to get your impacts and initiatives out to the world so that people know about the incredible programs you're running. Would recommend for any CR/ESG/Sustainability team.

It is a great tool for connecting businesses with products or services to donate with interested persons, via non-profit fundraisers, which can be selected based on values and mission. It is also an affordable way to solicit donations for non-profit fundraising events.

• sourcing and amplifying relevant content across a large network

• Expands audience awareness. Directly connects me with interested persons.
• Grows email list through participation in my donated content.

• Could use detailed description of difference between page views and impressions and how these are differently experienced by people who could see the content on various channels
• It would help to know a ballpark figure of impressions served up by Reuters, AP and other services that pickup 3BL content
• It would help if quarterly reporting could track with our fiscal year quarters instead of calendar year quarters

• Minor detail, but when you reply to messages the subject line turns blank, and I wish it would populate as re: original message subject.

I've never used anything like this before. I used to do it all one non-profit at a time!

• A lot of staff time saved on PR which is not our expertise.
