Industry Nonprofit and advocacy
Nonprofits that are too big for Squarespace and too small for Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud. We ship the donation engine, the member directory, the event platform, and the advocacy tools without a seven-figure CRM.
Why this industry
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 work with verified 501c3s at a 15 percent discount. The engineering still has to hold during year-end giving and we have not lost a December giving day in seven years.
What we work with
01
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 at 10 percent of the enterprise CRM cost.
02
Action centers, petition flows, congressional contact tools, supporter segmentation, multi-campaign coordination. WordPress with custom advocacy plugins and integrations.
Advocacy campaigns that convert at 8 to 15 percent on the action-take page.
03
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 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
01
GiveWP, Donorbox, custom Stripe integrations. Recurring donations, dedications, tribute gifts, employer match, donor receipts, recurring upgrade flows.
Donation conversion rates 30 to 50 percent above hosted platforms.
02
Searchable member directories, member-only content gating, chapter-specific subsites under multisite, dues collection, renewal flows, member-to-member messaging.
Member directories that 5,000-plus members use without a help desk team.

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

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.

Donation infrastructure hardened, monitored, and on-call.
Common questions
Yes. Verified 501c3 organizations get 15 percent off project work. Maintenance retainers for nonprofits are scoped per project. We do not bill at our enterprise rates for nonprofit work.
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.
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.
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.
We harden the donation infrastructure for the December peak. Object cache tuning, Stripe webhook resilience, automated backups, monitoring with alerting. We have not lost a year-end giving day in seven years.
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.
