A Website Means Growth For
Your Non-Profit Organization
Helping the world know about your cause is important.
The primary goal and purpose of having a website for
your organization is to let the world get to know more
about your non-profit cause by having your mission
statement and particulars on the home page.
Telling your
organization’s purpose immediately so you don't mystify
or 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.
