Nonprofits & charities
Your mission outgrew the website a volunteer built in 2014.
Every funder, every major donor, and every prospective board member looks you up before they commit. Mainfolk builds nonprofits a site that holds up to that look: programs, impact, governance, volunteers, and an obvious path to give, engineered accessible so you are not excluding the people you exist to serve. Live in days, and your volunteers can keep it current.
Free plan, free forever. Civic at $99/mo includes free done-for-you migration. No contract, no RFP.
- Keep your donation processor
- WCAG 2.1 AA by construction
- Volunteers can run it
- You own it, no lock-in
The credibility check
Nobody writes the check without looking you up first.
A program officer reviewing your application, a family weighing a year-end gift, a professional deciding whether to join your board: all of them open your website first, and most of them do it on a phone. A site that looks abandoned reads as an organization that is abandoned, however good the work actually is. That gap is unfair, and it is also completely fixable.
Impact, stated plainly
Numbers served, outcomes achieved, and where the money goes, laid out the way a funder reads it. Not a wall of text a board member wrote in one sitting.
Governance in the open
Board, leadership, your 501(c)(3) status, annual report, and financials where a diligent donor can find them without emailing to ask.
Found when it counts
Structured data, semantic HTML, and a per-site llms.txt, so a neighbor searching for the help you provide, or asking an assistant where to find it, actually lands on you.
Accessibility, not an overlay
An inaccessible site excludes the people you exist to serve.
If your organization receives federal financial assistance, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act applies to you, and if you operate a place of public accommodation, so does the ADA. Set the legal question aside for a moment though: a site a screen-reader user cannot navigate is a door your organization closed without meaning to.
Mainfolk builds contrast, keyboard navigation, semantic structure, and alt text into the markup itself. It is not an overlay widget bolted on at the end, because those do not get you there. See how we build it, or read our own accessibility statement. We engineer to the standard, and your counsel advises on your organization's specific obligations.
- Contrast that passes AA on every text and background pair, checked as part of the build rather than hoped for.
- Full keyboard navigation with a visible focus indicator and a skip link, so nobody needs a mouse to use your site.
- Real semantic structure, proper headings and landmarks, which is what a screen reader uses to move through a page.
- An accessibility statement page, auto-published and kept current, so you have something to point a funder or a complainant at.
- No overlay widget, and no annual fee for one. Accessibility is part of the platform, not a paid add-on.
Built for the mission
Everything a nonprofit needs, already on it.
No blank canvas, no committee meeting about site structure. The pieces are built in and waiting for your words, your photos, and your numbers.
An obvious way to give
A prominent donate path on every page, linked to Givebutter, Donorbox, PayPal, Bloomerang, Classy, or whatever you run. You keep your processor and your donor records.
Programs & services
What you actually do, who is eligible, and how somebody gets help today. Written so a person in need can follow it, not just a grant reviewer.
Volunteer recruitment
Roles, the time commitment, and a sign-up form that reaches a real inbox and keeps a copy, so a willing volunteer never falls through the cracks.
Events & the annual fundraiser
The gala, the 5K, the food drive, with RSVPs when you need a headcount and a page you can send a sponsor to without apologizing for it.
Newsletter & supporter list
Collect subscribers on the site and send updates to your supporters from the same place you edit the pages. No third-party tool to wire up.
Alert banner
A shelter at capacity, a weather closure, an urgent match campaign with a deadline. Post a site-wide banner in seconds and take it down just as fast.
The easy part is us
We build it. You approve it. Then you pay.
Your people are doing the work, not managing a web project. Tell us your name, your mission, and your town. We build the complete first draft, and nothing costs your organization a dollar until your board has seen the real site and approved it.
- We move your old site for you. On Civic, migrating your existing content is part of onboarding, free, with no setup fee.
- A PO, a W-9, or a written quote for a board vote, without an account or a credit card. Just ask for one.
- Nothing to maintain. No plugins, no updates, and no site that quietly rots when your one technical volunteer moves away.
- Unlimited staff editors on Civic. Every program lead can keep their own page current without sharing one password.
- No contract. Month to month, cancel anytime, and the site keeps working on the free plan if you do.
- You own everything. Export your pages, images, subscribers, and form submissions anytime, free.
The honest price
Start free. Civic is $99 a month, flat.

Smaller organizations do fine on free or on Launch at $15/mo for your own domain name. Hosting, the security certificate, updates, and get-found optimization are included at every tier.

Questions
Asked and answered.
Do we have to change our donation processor?
No, and we would not ask you to. Mainfolk gives donating a prominent, obvious path on every page and links out to whatever you already use, whether that is Givebutter, Donorbox, PayPal, Bloomerang, Classy, or your own portal. You keep your processor, your donor records, and your receipting. We make giving impossible to miss.
Does our nonprofit website have to be accessible?
If your organization receives federal financial assistance, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act applies to you, and if you operate a place of public accommodation, so does the ADA. Beyond the legal question, an inaccessible site quietly excludes some of the very people you exist to serve. Mainfolk engineers WCAG 2.1 AA into the markup itself rather than bolting on an overlay widget. We engineer to the standard, and your counsel advises on your specific obligations. See how we build it.
We're all volunteers. Can we actually keep this updated?
That is the design goal. Click any block, change the words, hit publish. Whoever writes the newsletter can run the website. There are no plugins to update, no themes to break, and no annual maintenance contract, so the site does not quietly decay the moment your one tech-savvy volunteer moves away. The user guide walks through it with screenshots.
What does a nonprofit website cost?
Start free, forever, on a mainfolk.com address, with hosting, security, and updates included. Launch is $15 a month for your own domain name. The $99 a month Civic tier is built for organizations that need unlimited staff editors, an emergency alert banner, an auto-published accessibility statement, and free done-for-you migration. See the full pricing page.
Can you move our existing site over?
Yes. On the Civic tier we move your current site over for you as part of onboarding, free, with no setup fee. If you are on WordPress you can also run the keyless Mainfolk migrator yourself and bring your pages, posts, and images across in one step.
Can we get a written quote for our board?
Yes, and you do not need an account or a credit card to get one. Request a quote and we will send a written quote, a W-9, and a PO-ready document your treasurer can take to the next meeting.
