Industry Nonprofit and advocacy

Your members, volunteers and events in one place. Giving too.

For NGOs and nonprofits anywhere, too big for Squarespace and too small for Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud. One record per person, so who is an admin, who volunteers and who just gives is a filter rather than four spreadsheets. On your own domain, so the personal data stays with you.

Why this industry

Nonprofits sit between Squarespace and Salesforce.

The website builders are too limited for donation flows, member directories, and advocacy. Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud is the right tool when you need full CRM functionality, but the price tag and the staffing requirement are out of reach for most the mid-market nonprofits. WordPress sits in the middle and does the work for a tenth of the budget.

We have shipped nonprofit WordPress since 2014, and we discount this work wherever the organisation is registered rather than only for US 501c3s. The engineering still has to hold through year-end giving, which is the one week of the year when a donation page failing quietly costs real money.

The difference from a hosted platform is where your people live. Volunteer names, addresses and hours sit on your own domain and your own infrastructure, not in someone else's account, which matters more in the EU than most vendors admit. And because it is your install rather than a plan you rent, it changes when your programme changes, instead of you reshaping how you work to fit what the software allows this year.

What we work with

Who we ship for in nonprofits.

01

Nonprofits with the mid-market annual budgets

You are too big for a Squarespace site and too small for Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud. WordPress sits in the middle and does the work without the Salesforce price tag.

A donation and member platform you own, without enterprise CRM licensing.

02

Advocacy organizations and political nonprofits

Action centers, petition flows, congressional contact tools, supporter segmentation, multi-campaign coordination. WordPress with custom advocacy plugins and integrations.

Action pages built around one decision, with the friction removed.

03

Foundations and grant-making organizations

Public grant directories, applicant portals, grantee dashboards, board packets, annual reports. The combination of public-facing content and applicant-facing tooling.

A foundation site that serves grantees without rebuilding the front-end every year.

04

Member-based associations

Member directories, dues collection, event registration, chapter sites, member-only content. Often paired with a Wild Apricot or YourMembership replacement, sometimes alongside an existing CRM.

A member experience that survives a board change without needing a re-platform.

What we build

The nonprofit engineering that holds during year-end.

01

One member record, filtered by role

A searchable directory where an admin, a volunteer and a regular member are visibly different and filterable as such. Member-only content gating, chapter subsites under multisite, dues and renewals, member-to-member messaging.

You can answer "who are our volunteers in Lisbon" without exporting anything.

02

Volunteers, hours and open roles

Volunteer signup against a shift or an event, hours logged against the person, recognition for the people who keep showing up, and a jobs board for paid roles. The same member record underneath all of it.

Volunteer hours you can report to a funder without rebuilding them from a spreadsheet.

03

Event registration and ticketing

The Events Calendar, Event Espresso, custom builds. Multi-session conferences, free and paid events, member pricing, capacity limits, waitlists, post-event surveys.

Conference registration that scales from 50 to 5,000 attendees on the same platform.

04

Donation flows that actually convert

GiveWP, Donorbox, custom Stripe integrations. Recurring donations, dedications, tribute gifts, employer match, donor receipts, recurring upgrade flows.

A donation flow you control rather than one rented from a hosted platform.

05

CRM integrations

Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud, Bloomerang, NeonCRM, Virtuous, Little Green Light, custom CRMs. Donor sync, supporter sync, event registration sync, action-take sync.

CRM data that matches the website without manual reconciliation.

06

Advocacy and action centers

Petition flows, congressional contact tools, social share automation, multi-campaign coordination, supporter segmentation. We integrate with Phone2Action, Quorum, or build custom.

Action centres that ask for something specific rather than describing the cause.

07

Managed maintenance retainers

Monthly retainers for nonprofits that do not have in-house developers. Security updates, backups, performance monitoring, content support, donation flow tuning.

A platform that does not break the week before year-end giving.

12 years

shipping nonprofit and NGO WordPress, since 2014

The December giving peak is the one week a donation page cannot fail quietly, so we load test the payment path before the season rather than during it.

What it costs

What a nonprofit project costs depends on the giving flows and the CRM.

Most nonprofit budgets go on two things: making it easy to give, and making sure the gift lands correctly in the system your team already uses.

What moves the number

  • How people give One-off donations are straightforward. Recurring giving, tribute gifts, employer matching, pledges and multi-fund designation each add real work.
  • Which CRM Salesforce NPSP, Blackbaud, Bloomerang and the rest each integrate differently, and the cost is set by the one you have.
  • Events and ticketing Galas, runs and free community events have different registration, payment and reporting needs.
  • Chapters and directories Local chapters or a member directory means roles, permissions and content ownership across groups.
  • Advocacy tooling Action centers, contact-your-representative flows and campaign pages are their own build rather than a page template.

Ongoing care, content updates and campaign support suit a maintenance retainer rather than a project, and that is usually the cheaper answer.

Common questions

Frequently asked

  1. Do you offer nonprofit pricing?

    Yes. We discount nonprofit and NGO work and we do not bill it at our commercial rates. There is no fixed published percentage because the right number depends on the organisation and the scope, so tell us what you are and what you need and we will quote it that way. This applies wherever you are registered, not only to US 501c3 organisations.

  2. How do you compare to Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud?

    Salesforce is the right choice when you need deep CRM functionality, complex grant-making workflows, and you have a Salesforce admin on staff. WordPress is the right choice when you need a website plus donation flows plus member directory plus event registration without the seven-figure CRM. We integrate with Salesforce when you have it.

  3. How do you handle GDPR and donor data?

    Donor data flows through your payment processor (Stripe, PayPal) which handles PCI compliance. Personal data on the WordPress install is stored encrypted at rest, audit logs cover access, and we configure the right cookie consent and privacy notices for your jurisdiction.

  4. Can you build advocacy action centers?

    Yes. Petition flows, congressional contact tools through Phone2Action or Quorum, social share automation, supporter tagging and segmentation. We integrate with the major advocacy platforms or build custom for organizations that need it.

  5. What about year-end giving spikes?

    We harden the donation infrastructure for the December peak. Object cache tuning, Stripe webhook resilience, automated backups, monitoring with alerting, and a load test before the giving season rather than during it.

  6. What does a nonprofit engagement cost?

    Standard nonprofit websites are scope-dependent. Member directories and event registration platforms are scoped after discovery. Advocacy platforms with CRM integration are scoped after discovery. Discovery call is free.
