A Website Means
Growth For Your Non-Profit Organization
—
Let the
world know about your cause!
The primary goal and purpose of having a website for
your organization is to let the world get to know your
non-profit cause better by having your mission statement
right on the home page. Your organization’s purpose
needs to be immediately apparent and take center stage
so you don't frustrate your viewers. You can offer
additional information on an "About Us" page with
concise information about what the organization does and
who is involved in your non-profit organization.
Listing
your directors & committee members adds credibility
Listing profiles of your
board of directors, founder(s), and other key personnel
with contact information (email and phone) for each of
these key people adds to your non-profit organization's
credibility and value. The design of your non-profit
organization's website should revolve around your
mission. Keep in mind how many multi-media elements can
be used, like posting videos and photos on
multiple pages.
Publicity is easier to get when you have a website
Getting media attention
can have a huge impact on a non profit organization.
Whether the media attention brings in more donations
directly or simply raises the profile of the
organization, getting attention from journalists,
bloggers, and anyone else with an audience is an
important part of having a website for your non-profit.
From time to time
journalists will come to your website to find out more
information about your organization. (It can be made
clear to journalists and other organizations that they
can use the information on your website in news coverage
without contacting the organization for prior
permission.) Your website also helps increase your logo
brand identity image.
Making it easy for people to donate
Since donations are a
necessary thing for nearly all non-profit organizations,
your website offers another way to solicit donations in
a friendly, simple, straight-forward manner so people
can make donations to your cause. The donation process
shouldn’t be any more complicated than any other online
transaction and also offer mail in donation information.
Letting the
world know how they can help
Volunteers are also an
important and necessary part of a non-profit
organization. We want to make it easy for visitors to
find information on how they can get involved in your
purpose and cause. There are plenty of people who might
not have the money to make a donation but are still
willing to help your non-profit with what your
organization is doing. Whether you provide detailed
information about volunteering directly, with the steps
people can take and a form, or just contact information
for your volunteer organizer, this is crucial
information that a website can help you promote.
Keep it
fresh and up-to-date
Including a blog or news section is great for non-profit
sites. When you offer news about your organization and
your cause, people who are interested will come back on
a regular basis (or subscribe via RSS). This keeps your
site fresh and visible and makes it more likely that
others will become involved because they can tell your
non-profit is one of action. Blogs and news sites are
often quoted by other blogs and news sites. This
also increases the exposure for your non-profit web site
and will likely bring you more visitors.
