A free website
for your nonprofit

We build it, you keep it, and it costs nothing. An agency quotes $1,500 to $4,500 for the same build. Hosting is free for 2 months, then $15 a month. Cancel whenever you like and the site is still yours.

Up to three finished designs of your own site, drawn by a person rather than picked out of a template gallery. You pick one.

An agency quotes $1,500 to $4,500 for the same work. This is how we introduce ourselves.
Hosting

An address on our own domain comes with the site. Bring your own domain, or buy one through us, usually $10 to $25 a year.

Picking one of the free concepts never costs anything. $499 design package: if the first three are not it, we keep designing with you, up to 10 more revisions. Most organizations pick one of the first three.

More than a site

Beyond the website

The same people who build the site make the video and the courses. A few samples of each, all of it work we have actually shipped.

Four steps, about four minutes

Start my free website

No card, no contract, and nothing to cancel if you change your mind before we start. Everything except your legal name, your EIN, and how to reach you can be changed later from your own back office.

Your site exists the moment you press the button. Nothing is published to search engines until you say so. Donation pages stay switched off until your EIN is checked against the public IRS file and your own Stripe account is connected.

Open to any nonprofit with a 501(c)(3) determination. We reach out to newly formed nonprofits first because that is how we find you, not because anyone else is excluded.
