The 30 Top Non-Profit Website Designs
The reason we chose these top 30 non-profit website designs is that they look fantastic, they encourage users to drill deeper into what the organization has to offer, and they have clear reasons to join, donate or otherwise become involved. The content was easy to find, search results were robust, and the user finds exactly what they need. These websites encourage all users to help the organization’s mission to positively impact the world, as well as to encourage donations, and staff to join including volunteers and full-time employees.

Our list of 30 top non-profit website designs so far…
And our list keeps growing! Every organization no matter what size, deserves to have a website that will guarantee the same results as a larger non-profit. As a smaller non-profit, you might not have the size budget as that of a multi-million dollar non-profit. However, We Are Immediate specializes in providing non-profits of all sizes the website experience they need to ensure the success of their mission. We “borrow” ideas from best-in-class web design– from not only non-profit websites, but all web design in general. Because of our amazing team, we are able to provide all non-profits with a best-in-class website that has every quality of the large non-profit websites. Some of the websites below are designed by our staff. Other websites are those we’ve evaluated and believe to have a great user-friendly experience, a great visual design, and necessary functionality. As you review the list, take note of the design elements and the functionality that you think would suit your organization.
Please note that these are the opinions of We Are Immediate and there are many other great websites that are not included – we just don’t have enough space to include them all! Also, there are many styles of design and each organization has its own taste and design ethos. We appreciate that! top 30 Non-Profit website designs
