Mautic Campaign Library Strategic Initiative receives grant from NLnet Foundation

By Ruth Cheesley · PUBLISHED October 13, 2024 · UPDATED October 14, 2024

We are really delighted to announce that phase one of our Campaign Library project has been selected to receive a grant from the NLnet Foundation as part of the April 2024 NGI0 Commons Fund call. 

About the Mautic Campaign Library Project

Termed the ‘Mautic Campaigns Portability Project’ for the purposes of this funding grant, this first phase of the wider project implements the groundwork needed to bring to life a much-requested feature - a library of campaigns which allow users to get started quickly with Mautic by selecting from a searchable collection of premade campaign workflows and associated resources. Requested back in 2018, it's one of the most voted for ideas in the Ideas Forum, and something we've been wanting to implement since 2021 when the strategic initiatives were announced.

This phase of the project addresses the need by establishing export and import functionality for campaigns and associated resources. This will not only save time but also promote best practice adoption among marketers.  We aim to enable seamless portability of campaigns between Mautic instances, enhancing the platform’s flexibility and usability. This feature will lay the groundwork for a more connected and efficient marketing environment, empowering users to maximize their strategic outreach efforts.

Next Steps and Participation

As we move forward, we will be working closely with NLnet to finalize the grant amount and our project plan. We encourage our supporters and the Mautic community to stay tuned via the Community Portal for more updates as we progress. We are eager to share our journey and milestones with you.

Moving Forward

We are in the process of refining our project plan, which will involve setting distinct tasks with specific outcomes. Each task will have a donation amount attached from the grant funding, unlocked by publishing the associated results. This structure ensures that our efforts are aligned with delivering measurable and impactful outcomes. 

We will be advertising opportunities related to this in the near future, however as the money is EU funded we are obliged in the first instance to recruit people who have EU citizenship. Watch out on our jobs channels for the announcements.

Once we finalize our consolidated plan and establish our team, we will proceed with the 'Memorandum of Understanding' to formally kick off the project. 

Thank you to everyone who has supported us thus far. We look forward to sharing more updates and celebrating milestones with you. Stay tuned for more exciting developments!
