Dallas vs. National

Benchmark Intelligence

How Dallas nonprofit YouTube channels compare to national nonprofit and industry benchmarks — and where the biggest opportunities for growth are hiding.

Subscribers
Below National
488
Dallas Median
25th–75th: 90–2.1K
National: 1.0K(NP Median)

The typical Dallas nonprofit has 488 subscribers vs. 1.0K nationally. Most local channels are in early growth — even reaching 1.0K puts you ahead of the national median.

Views / Video
Above National
525
Dallas Median
25th–75th: 174–2.6K
National: 400(NP Median)

The typical Dallas channel gets 525 views per video, close to the 400 national median.

Engagement Rate
Needs Work
0.97%
Dallas Median
25th–75th: 0.4%–1.8%
National: 2.5%(NP Median)

Dallas's typical 0.97% engagement trails the 2.5% national median. Adding CTAs, responding to comments, and posting Shorts can boost this significantly.

Uploads / 90 Days
Needs Work
1
Dallas Median
79 of 136 active
National: 4(Active NP Median)

The typical Dallas nonprofit uploads 1 video per 90 days vs. 4 nationally. Only 79 of 136 channels are active. Consistency is the #1 growth lever.

What the Data Tells Us

🔍

The Gap Is Real

With a median of just 488 subscribers, most Dallas nonprofits have small audiences — but that's typical for local organizations. The average (5.2K) is higher because a few large channels pull it up. Even reaching 1K subscribers puts a channel in the top quartile locally.

📊

Why Medians Matter

We use medians because a few large channels (avg: 5.2K subs) skew the average 11× higher than the median (488). The median represents what the typical Dallas nonprofit actually looks like — and what you should benchmark against.

🚀

Biggest Growth Lever

57 of 136 channels haven't uploaded in 90 days. Consistency is the #1 predictor of growth. Channels posting weekly see 3-5× more views than monthly posters. This is Dallas's biggest opportunity.

National benchmarks sourced from M+R Benchmarks 2025, Rival IQ, Dash Social, and Social Blade nonprofit category data (2024–2025).

Data-backed priorities ranked by potential impact — where Dallas nonprofits should focus to close the gap with national benchmarks

📅

Upload Consistency Is #1

High Impact
57 inactive channels

57 of 136 channels haven't uploaded in 90 days. YouTube's algorithm rewards consistency — channels posting at least 2×/month see 3-5× more views than those posting sporadically. This is the single biggest lever for Dallas nonprofits.

💬

Close the Engagement Gap

High Impact
0.97% vs. 5.4% national

Dallas's 0.97% median engagement is below the 5.4% national average for small channels. Quick wins: add a CTA in the first 30 seconds, pin a comment with a question, and respond to every comment within 1 hour to boost algorithmic ranking.

🔎

Fix Discoverability

High Impact
525 vs. 2K national

The median Dallas channel gets 525 views/video vs. 2,000 nationally for similar-sized channels. Optimize titles for search (use keywords your audience Googles), create custom thumbnails with faces and text, and use 8-12 relevant tags per video.

🎯

Break the 1K Subscriber Barrier

Medium Impact
Median: 488 subscribers

Half of all Dallas nonprofit channels have fewer than 488 subscribers. Reaching 1K unlocks YouTube monetization features and puts you in the top quartile locally. End screens, cross-promotion on email newsletters, and consistent thumbnails accelerate subscriber growth.

Humaniti Foundation

Humaniti Foundation

6.7K subscribers

Humaniti Foundation punches dramatically above its weight with an avg views/subscriber ratio of 1,184% — nearly 40x the strong benchmark — driven by a top video ('Be The Blessing') at 522,527 views and a latest upload at 142,843 views. However, the channel is effectively dormant (112 days since last upload, 0 videos in 90 days) and has only 9 total videos since 2021, suggesting sporadic bursts rather than a sustained content strategy. The 6.38% engagement rate is exceptional by nonprofit standards, but 0 avg comments/video and 0% caption coverage are notable gaps that undercut the otherwise…

Broadway Dallas Inc

1.9K subscribers

Broadway Dallas has a staggering avg views/video of 164,719 against only 1,930 subscribers — an 8,534% view-to-sub ratio that dwarfs any nonprofit benchmark — driven by what appear to be original soundtrack or performance clip uploads (e.g., 'Wicked OS 15' at 765K views, 'Clue OS 15' at 252K recent views). However, engagement is nearly nonexistent at 0.024% with avg 1 comment/video, suggesting passive listeners rather than a community, and 0% caption coverage is a significant accessibility gap for a performing arts nonprofit serving diverse audiences.

First Liberty Institute punches well above its subscriber weight: 7,500 subs but 4.8M total views yields a 135% avg-views-to-subscriber ratio, far exceeding the 30% benchmark for strong resonance. Their 3.04% engagement rate is above the nonprofit norm of 0.5–2%, and the best recent video 'Faith Can Return in Public' hit 118,191 views — 11.7x their avg — suggesting genuine viral traction on mission-critical content. With 50 uploads in 90 days (~16.7/month), they maintain an aggressive, consistent publishing cadence that few nonprofits match.
