And you can take donations through your website so you can grow your organization and all of the great work you’re already doing.
The Nonprofit Website Starter Kit aims to create an amazing website to get your organization online for a price that won’t stretch your budget.

A Helping Hand
Build Your Website with Professional Help
Creating a website for your organization might seem easy. After all, there are so many tools that say that it is.
But building a website that does what you need it to — like take donations, display events, etc. — can be a challenge. What tools do you use to build the website? How do you take donations? How do you create a website that helps your organization?
With the Nonprofit Website Starter Kit, you won’t have to worry about any of that. Over the course of my time creating websites, I’ve learned what works and doesn’t work and can build you the solution that’s going to work the best for your organization. And once the website is launched, I’ll make sure you know how to do everything you need to do on your website.
In the end, you’ll end up with a perfect website that’s going to help your organization thrive in today’s world. And every step of the way, there will be someone who can help guide you along the right path.
Showcase Your Organization
Build a Website That Shows Your Organization to the World
Your website is the perfect marketing tool for your organization. This is where you have an opportunity to show the world what your organization does. You can tell the story about how the organization came to be. You can show through photos and videos the great impact your organization has on your community and even the world.
And it’s the one place that you completely control. You don’t have to play by the rules of sites like Facebook and Instagram and the like. You can create everything you need to show off your organization to the world the way you want.
It’s your organization’s digital home, and it’s vital in today’s world.
Online Donations
Take Donations Right From Your Website
Donations are the lifeblood of every nonprofit organization. And your new website should make it easy for your donors to give to your organization.
Your site will come with the GiveWP plugin installed, which makes it easy to take donations right through your website. From taking donations to sending receipts to generating reports and more, you won’t have to worry about using another platform for your donations. That makes it easy for both you and your donors.
Take Payments in Multiple Ways
Want to take credit card payments through your website? How about mobile payments through Apple Pay, Google Pay and even Venmo? Or even text to give? You’ll be able to do it all so your donors have a number of options for how they are able to donate to your website.
Set Up Recurring Donations
A donation is good. But a recurring donation is great. With a Nonprofit Website Starter Kit, you’ll be able to set up recurring donation forms so that your donors can give on a regular basis — whether that’s weekly, monthly, yearly or custom. Your donors will be able to give without thinking about it, and you’ll be able better count on that revenue. It’s a win for everyone.
Manage Donors and Reports in Your Dashboard
Managing donors and all of the various reports you need can be a challenge for your organization, especially if you’re using different tools to take donations. But when your website is built, everything you need to manage your donors and create the reports you need will be right in your website dashboard.
Connect Your Donations to Your CRM Tool and Marketing
Managing donations and donors doesn’t end when they donate through your website. It’s a relationship that you manage. If you’ve got a CRM that you use to manage your donor relationships and marketing, we can connect your website to it so that everything is streamlined. And if you don’t, we can get you started with one that you choose.
Create an Awesome Calendar
Show Off Your Organization’s Events
Your organization probably has a number of events that you run. Whether it’s general meetings, public outreach, fundraising events or everything in between, those events need to be added to some sort of calendar so everyone knows what’s going on.
Your website will come with the ability to add that calendar to keep everyone updated. You’ll be able to add in all of your events and pull in events from other places, like Google Calendar. Now your website will become thee place everyone goes to to see what events are coming up and how they can attend!
