Digital Marketing for Meaningful Causes 4.0

🎯 What is the program?

"Digital Marketing for Meaningful Causes" 4.0 is a scholarship program that connects young communicators with civil society organizations working on important public issues. The initiative is implemented by the Impact Drive Foundation in partnership with the America for Bulgaria Foundation, and builds on three successful editions held in the period 2021 - 2025.

The program enables 10 selected participants - students, recent graduates or professionals seeking development and retraining - to work as digital communicators in a real environment within the framework of a 9-month paid internship in active civil and public organizations. Participants undergo specialized training, receive individual mentoring and group support, and work in a real environment with high-value practical tasks for causes of public importance.

Host organizations receive personalized support in planning and developing their own digital marketing strategy, assistance in planning the internship and individual work of the accepted digital communicators, and of course, access to motivated specialists who will work for them up to 20 hours a week, developing their voice and vision.

During the internship, digital communicators will also be supported by mentors, and the Impact Drive team will support the work process, organize group sessions for the interns, and provide assistance to the host organizations with any challenges and needs that arise. Host teams will have the freedom to manage and organize the activities of the internship according to their needs and priorities.
