What it does
Nonprofits often need a website that explains their cause, collects donations and keeps supporters informed about events, all without a developer on staff. This theme brings those pieces together in one design. It includes an integrated donation system with payment gateways, event tools such as calendars, registration forms and countdown timers, and a blog layout for sharing stories and news. The goal is a site where visitors can learn about your work and take part in it from the same place.
Setup starts with a choice of homepage layouts designed around an organization's goals. From there, theme options, color schemes, layout settings, widgets and drag-and-drop page building let you shape the site to match your identity. The design is responsive, so pages adapt to desktops, tablets and phones. Built-in social buttons and feeds connect your channels, and the theme is translation ready and compatible with WPML for organizations that serve audiences in more than one language.
Best for
- Charities and foundations running online fundraising campaigns
- Nonprofits that organize events and volunteer programs
- Agencies building websites for multilingual nonprofit clients
