Marketo Product Donation Program Gives Non-Profits a Leg-up

SAN MATEO, Calif., Nov. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Marketo, Inc., the leading provider of marketing software and solutions, today announced a new initiative designed to accelerate marketing at not-for-profit organizations worldwide. With the support of the Marketing Nation®, a vibrant community of Marketo's customers, partners, employees, and more, social good marketers are now able to apply for a free, one-year Marketo license to help take their efforts to the next level. The first program recipient is Chicago-based theater group The Hypocrites, and Marketo is now accepting applications for additional participants.

"Marketo is committed to empowering organizations with sophisticated marketing tools and technology to not just better engage with customers and improve ROI, but make a bigger difference in the world," said Joan Burke, senior vice president, human resources, Marketo. "Far too often, game-changing non-profits are unable to invest in enterprise-grade marketing solutions that will allow them to make an even larger impact in their communities. Marketo's ongoing CSR efforts and latest product giveaway represent small steps we are taking to make giant strides in global, positive change."

Non-profits from any industry who meet the following criteria can apply:

• Eligibility – Applicants must have 501(c)3 status or an international equivalent and an annual operating budget of $2 million or less. They must also have a Marketing Nation sponsor that has knowledge of the product and will leverage the software with or on their behalf.
• Submission Process – Applicants must provide a demontrated use plan, include high-level company details, and outline how its database will benefit from access to Marketo's technology. To apply, click here.
• Benefits – Recipients will receive a one-year full, free license and complete on-boarding support, including a Marketo account manager.

In addition to meeting the above criteria, The Hypocrites was recognized as an organization that is uniting communities with a common interest or goal.

"The Hypocrites make communal theater for the optimistic many who remain inspired by live performance," said Jacqueline Kling, marketing and operations manager, The Hypocrites. "In addition to increasing our revenue through ticket sales and donations, we anticipate that a partnership with Marketo will help us communicate with existing and prospective patrons more efficiently."

"Marketo works with incredible non-profits simply in need of a megaphone to help improve their often limited marketing activity," said Rory Van Nest, director of social impact, Marketo. "The Hypocrites is focused on bringing people together to make a difference, and Marketo is delighted to be supporting such a worthy organization to better get the word out about their work. We look forward to working with even more partners through this program in the future."
