NEW ORLEANS (press release) – Get Online NOLA is excited to announce that applications are now open for the 4th annual Get Online NOLA Digital Marketing Grant, an initiative designed to help small businesses and nonprofits establish a strong digital presence.
One deserving organization will win a custom website package valued at over $2,500, plus six months of free website hosting and maintenance. Additionally, a runner-up will receive a comprehensive marketing audit worth $750, providing actionable insights to improve their online reach and visibility.
“Small businesses are the heart of New Orleans, and we know that a big win – especially in the early years – can make a huge difference,” says Wendy Dolan, Founder of Get Online NOLA. “High-quality websites are often out of reach for small businesses, so we created this grant to provide an accessible, professional solution. It’s an annual opportunity to uplift businesses we truly value.”
Applications are open through April 11 here. Organizations can apply directly or nominate another deserving small business.
Making a Real Impact
Get Online NOLA was born out of love for New Orleans and the desire to do better for the businesses that make our city unique. Bringing companies online and helping them build a powerful digital presence through custom websites and digital marketing is what they do best. Over the years, the Get Online NOLA Grant has helped local businesses and nonprofits grow their online presence.
Last year’s winner, Gro Enterprises, a local startup specializing in eco-friendly building materials, has launched its first-ever website, thanks to the grant.
“Winning this grant is a huge benefit to Gro Enterprises. Get Online NOLA made our very first website and helped introduce our message and products to a wider audience. I’m excited for the future growth of my business and sustainable housing in Louisiana,” said Gro Enterprises founder Joel Holton.
The 2024 runner-up, New Voices New Orleans, a nonprofit vocal music education program, received a marketing audit and strategy sessions to refine its outreach.
“This opportunity helped us pivot our approach and refine how we reach our target audiences. The insights we gained will have a lasting impact on our organization,” said NVNO Executive Director Trey Pratt.
Applications are due by April 11 here.
