Abstract
Cause related marketing (CRM) is an increasingly popular form of nonprofit/company alliance. The impact of CRM for consumers and companies has been studied, but little is known of the experience from a nonprofit perspective. This research surveyed 154 U.S. nonprofit (NPO) managers with direct CRM experience. Results demonstrate that CRM is a positive experience for NPOs. Outcomes generally meet expectations, and drawbacks are minimal. Overall CRM appears to be a promising method for NPOs to achieve both first order benefits (immediate financial support) and second order benefits (less tangible goals such as developing long term relationships and public awareness).
