Become a Settlement.Org Content Partner

Our users tell us that Settlement.Org is a relevant source of newcomer information and resources. We need your help to maintain this level of excellence.

We're interested in creating content relationships with organizations and individuals. If you work in a human service agency, you've got information for your clients that all newcomers can use. Share it with us, and we'll make sure it gets out to everyone.

We're looking for information, resources, articles, fact sheets, newsletters, publications and any other content that you have that is relevant for newcomers. If you have written newsletter articles or any kind of information resource (for example, a fact sheet or information workshop handout) send it to us and we'll transform it into something for everyone to learn from. Read on to learn more.

• Keep our current content up-to-date and comprehensive.

What do you get for providing Settlement.Org with content?

We get thousands of visitors per month, including a significant number of settlement services professionals, all seeking high quality information about settling and living in Ontario. By providing content to Settlement.Org you gain the following benefits:

• Increased exposure and usage of your materials, helping you to fulfill your own outreach and service goals. If you work in the settlement sector, you're creating material all the time for your clients. Share that information with us and we'll promote it across the internet! Maybe you have your own website with excellent information? Let us know and we'll link to the information that is relevant for our users. Better yet, let us co-host that information on our site as well, with recognition and links to your site. Don't have a website, but have lots of information? Let us host your information for free!
• You've heard the marketing term "branding"? Let's co-brand - we'll put your logo and/or links on general site pages and/or specific pages where your content is located and include information about the author.

• We'll profile our relationship on-line or in Settlement.Org or OCASI newsletters from time to time.
• We can let you know what people think about your content and how many site users have viewed your information. Our statistics on page views can be provided to you. This is particularly useful for partners that have limited contact with the settlement sector.
• You can use our content/material on your website! We're not only looking for your content, but we're happy to share ours with you.

• You will gain reputation and credibility as being supportive of the settlement services sector.
• If you're an individual, you'll get published on the web and provide great information for newcomers.
