A solid website is critical to non-profit organizations as well.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFor nonprofits, a website can be a way to reach potential donors, volunteers, and staff - as well as clients and others who may benefit from their services.

Nonprofit organizations are mission-driven, and their websites should reflect that much. In other words, through both text and graphics, the website should tell users the reason why the nonprofit exists - and why they should care about the mission.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EUnlike business websites, nonprofit sites typically aren\u2019t seeking sales. However, many of the same principles that are used on for-profit company websites can and should be used on nonprofit sites.\u200b This includes search engine optimization (SEO), opportunities to sign up for a mailing list, and chances to get involved. While conversion looks a little different for nonprofits, it\u2019s still important - you\u2019re just getting people to make a call, donate, sign up to volunteer, or otherwise get involved instead of getting them to buy a product or service.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ENonprofit websites should also be optimized for mobile, as Americans \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/short-reads\/2022\/11\/21\/for-shopping-phones-are-common-and-influencers-have-become-a-factor-especially-for-young-adults\/\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003Eincreasingly access the internet via phones and tablets\u003C\/a\u003E.

It should also include fact-based data, as non-profit organizations are often looked to as experts in the field. Finally, the content should set a clear tone, highlighting successes to empower users to reach out, donate, volunteer, or simply care about the organization\u2019s mission.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E35+ Top Nonprofit Website Designs\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThere are tons of great nonprofits out there, and many have outstanding websites.

The Habitat website uses bright, high-contrast colors to make it more accessible for users. There are also multiple \u201cdonate now\u201d buttons to encourage people to act.

We love the transparent logo in the hero, which plays on the brand\u2019s theme of helping children who may feel invisible.
