  • 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.

  • Nice overview! My personal favorite Non-profit website is: http://www.charitywater.org/

  • Great list! It’s interesting to see the different approaches to the challenge of communicating to varied audiences.

    Thanks for including The Seed Company.

  • Great list…

    I like http://reviveafrica.com/ the most…

  • Great list. Thnx for sharing

  • 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

  • Great job. Very interesting collection of Non-Profit Websites.

    Thanks for sharing collection.

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Great list! Thanks so much for including WideAwake.org

  • 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!

  • 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.

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

    I made this one of the three featured links on my Design Thought for the Day blog:

    All the best, Ted

  • Nancie

    These are great! I’d like to add http://www.fuquacenter.org to the list! 🙂

  • The list looks very impressive. Thank you for including Harvest.org

  • Great list!!!

  • Thank you for including Urban Roots on this fantastic and inspirational list! I love Hope Unlimited.

  • Great post! We just completed a redesign of Opportunity International’s website – http://www.opportunity.org – would be great to know how you guys think we stack up against some of these listed here!

    Thanks!!

    This is great! As I’m getting into the mechanics with web design I have in mind some agencies locally whom I want to redesign their site!

  • Fabulous designs. Wow! What a great collection and great causes. LT

  • Inspirational, giving something back, awesome!

  • LIKE LIKE LIKE 🙂 thanks for share ..

    I enjoyed the 25 best nonprofit websites presented and I am wondering if you could design a website that is attractive to visitors and donors for our nonprofit, with features easy to use. We already have a domain name and a hosting company. We have prepared web info. of 50 MB (which could be edited) If you do web design how much will it cost us?
