    Great List!
    Thanks for including the Park Angels site. We have recently merged it with it’s parent organization Charleston Parks Conservancy, so there is a bit of a new look and some new bells and whistles also.

    This is a great selection of websites, I particularly like the Sower of Seeds website design. The colours that have been used complement the black and white photography very well and the information is clear and concise. Loverly

    Does our http://www.greenscroll.org deserve to be listed here? I hope so.
    Thanks,

    Nice List! All the designs that stuck out to me at first glance seemed to be by CHURCHMEDIA. Looks like they have some excellent design skills.

  11. Manuela on March 10th, 2010

    Great list, thank you so much!

    Good set but if you knew how often non-profit website development becomes a good way to deduct money for the customers. I don’t speak about these sites, but there is a scandal history with Russian School Portal which was launched with numerous bugs.

    Any way I’m convinced that charity and enthusiasm should be spread in the Web as much as money making.

    Great list. I really like http://kanyewestfoundation.org/. Good clean, minimal design.

    We recently designed a site for a local non-profit: http://www.yvcyellowstone.org/. This was my fist time working with a non-profit, and it was a great experience.

    My firm just finished a full redesign of http://www.pkdcure.org and we used some of these great sites as inspiration. Simple and straightforward is definitely the way to go for non-profits. Another nice clean site we looked at was http://michaeljfox.com/.

    Excellent review! I’ve done http://www.findthecure.it and for a future homepage restyle I’m taking ispiration from this collection!

  19. Catrina Marie on March 18th, 2010

    I must say there are a lot of wonderful webdesigns here. I probably would not have chosen some of your pics but I always appreciate the ability to see other non-profit sites. If you havent seen it already, I would include http://us.yesplus.org/ as one of the best non-profit designs.

  20. Ted Rex on March 19th, 2010

    Great collection and very nice to see all the great design for great causes.
