Solution FocusPerformance Max & Multi-Channel EOFY Scaling

Scaling tax-time revenue through precision targeting and traffic expansion.

Broad Reform was entrusted to manage and optimise IJM Australia's EOFY FY26 digital strategy during the critical May–June tax-giving window. Facing broader fundraising headwinds across the Australian charity sector, we executed a multi-channel performance strategy centred on high-intent Performance Max search, targeted Meta advertising and custom EOFY offering tracks.

The result: total GA4-tracked revenue reached $536,595 (+14.78% YoY) while website sessions surged +120.83% to 24,004. Google Ads delivered a 48.80× ROAS — $170,410 in conversion value on just $3,492 of spend — paired with a 3.43× Meta ROAS (well above the 2.19 industry benchmark) and over $264K from dedicated EOFY offerings, dramatically expanding donor reach while maintaining donor quality.

The challenge

Sector headwinds and market cost pressures

IJM Australia's EOFY appeal faced significant macro challenges across the non-profit fundraising environment:

  • Softening donation volumes across the Australian non-profit market amid cost-of-living pressures.
  • High ad competition and media costs during the peak May/June tax-giving window.
  • The need to scale website traffic significantly without diluting donor quality or inflating acquisition costs.
  • A 55.93% drop in organic search revenue during the appeal period, forcing a shift in acquisition channels.

Broad Reform was tasked with refining targeting to focus on high-value donors — reducing wasted spend while maximising total campaign yield.
