Introducing the Community Impact Rate: Our Commitment to the Organizations That Hold Our Communities Together

There is a version of marketing consulting that exists entirely on spreadsheets and strategy decks, serving companies with large budgets and teams of people to execute whatever gets recommended.

That is not why we started Indian Lakes Marketing.

We started it because we live in LaGrange County. We go to church here. We are raising our kids here. We shop in Shipshewana and grab lunch at the places that have been in the same families for decades. This community is not a market to us. It is home.

And home means showing up for the people and organizations that make it worth living in.

The organizations that hold communities together

Every thriving small town runs on more than small businesses. It runs on churches that feed families on Sundays and organize volunteers when someone is in need. On nonprofits that serve kids, seniors, and neighbors who fall through the cracks. On local ministries that provide early learning and childcare for working families. On township trustees and municipal offices that keep the roads cleared and the lights on.

These organizations rarely have marketing budgets. They run on tight finances, volunteer hours, and genuine dedication to the people they serve. And yet they are often the first place someone turns when things get hard, and the reason many people choose to stay in a community rather than leave for somewhere larger.

They deserve a professional online presence as much as any business does. Often more.

Putting our money where our mouth is

We talk a lot about community. We believe in it deeply. But belief without action is just words.

A few months ago we built Wolcottville.com for the town we call home. A simple, clean site that gives the community a digital front door. No charge. It was the right thing to do.

We also built the website for Rainbow Years Learning Ministry, the early learning center our church runs here in LaGrange County. Rainbow Years serves children from 6 weeks to 11 years old, providing a safe, nurturing environment for working families in our area. Another project that mattered to us personally.

These projects reminded us of something: the organizations that need a professional web presence the most are often the ones least able to pay for it.

Introducing the Community Impact Rate

Starting today, Indian Lakes Marketing is offering a significantly reduced rate for churches, nonprofits, local ministries, schools, and municipal organizations.

Our Starter Web Presence, normally $1,500, is available to qualifying organizations for $899. Our Multi-Page Site, normally $2,500, is $1,499. Our E-Commerce and Donation Site, normally $3,500, is $1,999.

Every site includes the same custom build, the same SEO foundation, the same 10 business day delivery, and the same standard of care as our standard engagements. The only thing that changes is the price.

This is not a stripped-down product. It is the same work at a rate that reflects our values.

Who qualifies

The Community Impact Rate is available to:

Registered nonprofits and charitable organizations. Churches, parishes, synagogues, mosques, and houses of worship of all denominations. Local ministries and faith-based service organizations. Municipal offices, townships, and local government organizations. Schools, early learning centers, and educational nonprofits.

If you are not sure whether your organization qualifies, reach out and ask. We will always err on the side of yes.

Why this matters in LaGrange County

LaGrange County is one of the most distinct communities in Indiana. The Amish population, the tourism economy, the tight-knit towns like Shipshewana, Topeka, and Wolcottville. This is a place with real identity and real values.

Part of those values is taking care of each other. Showing up. Not just when it is convenient or profitable but because it is the right thing to do.

Indian Lakes Marketing exists to help businesses and organizations in this community thrive. The Community Impact Rate is our way of making sure that mission reaches the organizations that need it most.

If you represent a church, nonprofit, ministry, or local organization and you need a website, reach out. We would love to help.
