10 Amazing Nonprofit Home Pages real nonprofits, real inspiration

The Side by Side Kids home page is unique, compelling, and effective. With a large, engaging image and the start of a story (with the quote), Side by Side Kids draws in visitors, then makes it crystal clear how you can help. One of our all-time favorite examples of a great nonprofit home page in action.

http://www.miriamskitchen.org @miriamskitchenMiriam’s Kitchen’s website has a simple design, but a powerful impact. Their home page clearly illustrates what they do and why it’s important. They prominently feature a donate button that stands out and make collecting email addresses a priority so they can start to develop relationships with visitors, even if they’re not quite ready to donate.

http://mrfrs.org @MRFRSCatsWhat’s cuter than a kitten? A pile of kittens. Typically we recommend focusing on just one animal or one person for maximum effect, but The Merrimack River Feline Rescue Society has a clean design, clear navigation, and an easy way to donate to help cats in need.

The home page of CASA Travis has been a long-time Network for Good favorite example – and it’s easy to see why. Even with multiple navigation elements, it’s easy to know where to go to donate, volunteer, or find out more. CASA Travis also showcases their great stories so supporters can quickly understand the impact a gift can have.

The Aslan Project home page has a clean, modern design that features clear statements about their work and emotionally-engaging images. It’s easy to understand what this organization does and how you can get involved.

http://www.feedingamericaky.org Feeding America Kentucky’s Heartland on Facebook

Feeding America Kentucky’s Heartland hits all the right notes, keeping the most important elements front and center with a clean and easy-to-use home page. Amazing photos and clear calls to action make this home page a great example to follow.

Sometimes a monochromatic web design that focuses on a few colors can make it difficult for key elements (like a Donate Now button) to stand out. Pro Mujer does a great job of keeping their calls to action and buttons in their color scheme while making them very noticeable. This site also has great images that help draw you in to the impact that Pro Mujer has in the world.

It’s tempting for arts organizations to show off their design sense at the expense of a practical web experience. Diablo Regional Arts Association’s website clearly matches the organization’s personality and creativity, but still lets visitors easily navigate to the key components of their online presence.

http://www.accfb.org @ACCFB

Alameda County Community Food Bank has a well-organized website and a home page that allows supporters to quickly find out more and give easily. ACCFB understands the importance of storytelling and features the start of a story right on their home page.

http://www.autismcommunitynetwork-sa.org @autismsatx

Autism Community Network has a colorful website that helps tell the story of their mission, but doesn’t interfere with usability of their home page. They have clear pathways for their different audiences and compelling photos that help draw you in to their work.
