Many of the organizations that grow fastest on NationBuilder have something in common: they didn't go it alone. They worked with a certified partner, a specialist who helped them get set up faster, unlock more of the platform, and grow their audience in ways they couldn't have managed solo.
The data is clear:
What is a partner?
Working with a partner doesn't have to mean a big commitment. Some organizations just want competitive pricing and a certified expert they can call on occasionally. Others want full campaign delivery, as you’d get from hiring an agency. The partner network covers both ends of that spectrum and everything in between.
At its simplest, a partner is a certified NationBuilder specialist who can help as much or as little as you need, whether that's hosting your nation at competitive rates with light-touch support, a one-off project, or ongoing hands-on delivery. You stay in control of your nation; the partner adds expertise where it's useful.
Partners can help with:
- Consolidating fragmented tools into one integration system
- Internal training and capacity building (working alongside your team, not just for them)
- Website design, build, and launch on NationBuilder
- Database setup, import, and configuration
- Fundraising pages and donation flow
- Onboarding, training, and handover
- Ongoing support and campaign guidance
- Custom integrations and technical development
"We used NationBuilder for years, but we weren't getting the most out of it. It took Progressive Nation to help us realise and unlock its full potential. They overhauled our user interface and implemented new functions to maximise event registrations and the use of tags and filters. They even provide very helpful quarterly check-ins and annual audits to help us set our digital goals."

Van City Studios — USA/Canada
Van City Studios builds the kind of digital infrastructure that's ready when opportunity strikes -- when Billie Eilish shared Conservation Lands Foundation's campaign to 110M+ followers, the systems Van City had built converted that viral moment into 37,000 new supporters, 84,000+ messages to US Senators, and a tripled email list in two weeks, ultimately helping secure the withdrawal of all four amendments to sell public lands.
"When a viral moment hit, we were ready. We had a plan, and the systems in place to act on it."
— Van City Studios
