A few examples of the types of ads you may post for free:

• If your group performs an important public service for the community, let people know about it here! Suicide hotlines, food pantries, homeless shelters, ask-a-nurse hotlines, free clinics, medical aid groups, crimestopper or tip hotlines, homework helpers, book clubs, big brother or big sister organizations, etc.
• Notifications about upcoming fundraisers such as your local high school bake sale, church rummage sale, library book sale, town picnic, walks for cancer, safety demonstrations, etc.
• Ads meant to inform citizens of upcoming votes, and related issues that will be on the ballot, or to raise public awareness about the importance of voting in general
• Sell stuff online to benefit your organization - for example: got a bunch of stuff left over from your church rummage sale? Got a digital camera? Put your church rummage sale online! You can add a 'buy it now' button in each ad via paypal, and include an optional shipping cost too!
• SAR groups, animal rescue groups, and shelters could post notices about their dog walks, or post pictures and stories of individual animals they need donations for. Add a 'buy it now' button for paypal donations, or just redirect users to your official website.
