5 Things Every Nonprofit Needs on Their Website

Alex Schupp • July 7, 2025

At Crowd For Causes, we know that a nonprofit’s website is often the first place a potential donor, volunteer, or supporter will go to learn about your mission. That first impression matters—and a strong website is your best tool for growing support and driving action.



Here are five essentials every nonprofit should have on their website:

1. Clear Mission Statement

Right away, visitors should understand who you are and what you do. Your mission statement should be front and center—concise, inspiring, and specific. Bonus points if it's supported by powerful imagery or video that helps make the impact real.

2. Easy Ways to Get Involved

Whether it’s donating, volunteering, attending an event, or signing a petition, your website should make it incredibly easy for someone to take action. This means clear calls-to-action (CTAs), an intuitive navigation menu, and forms that don’t feel like a chore.

3. Compelling Impact Stories

Share real stories and stats about the change you’re making. Whether through testimonials, before-and-after photos, or short video clips, this is your chance to show visitors what their support accomplishes.

4. A Seamless Donation Experience

Your donation page should be simple, secure, and mobile-friendly. People should be able to donate in under a minute—no distractions, no complicated steps. If you can, offer multiple giving options (monthly, one-time, employer match, etc.).

5. Up-to-Date Content & Design

An outdated site can make people question your credibility. Keep your content fresh with recent news, event updates, and blog posts. And don’t forget design—modern, accessible, and clean layouts help build trust.

At Crowd for Causes, we believe that a powerful mission deserves a powerful digital presence. That’s why we’re proud to announce that we’re partnering with the Conservation Lands Foundation to migrate their website to the Duda platform. The Conservation Lands Foundation is on the front lines of protecting America’s public lands and waters—spaces that are essential not only to our country’s identity but to our environment, economy, and communities. Their mission is clear: to protect, restore, and expand the National Conservation Lands through education, advocacy, and partnerships .  From national monuments to wilderness areas, the Foundation works to ensure that these irreplaceable landscapes are safeguarded from exploitation and preserved for future generations. In the face of mounting threats—including the largest public lands sell-off in U.S. history—their leadership is more important than ever. With an unwavering commitment to advocacy, they amplify the voices of people who believe that America’s public lands are not for sale .

At Crowd for Causes, we believe in using design to drive impact. That’s why we were proud to partner with Conejo Free Clinic , a vital nonprofit offering free medical, dental, and legal services to those in need throughout Ventura and Los Angeles Counties. For over 40 years, Conejo Free Clinic has served as a beacon of hope for individuals and families who face financial, systemic, or language barriers to care. From routine medical checkups and dental cleanings to complex legal guidance, their team of compassionate professionals and volunteers ensures that no one is left behind. Whether it's a patient receiving life-changing dental work or someone finding legal clarity through a volunteer attorney, the stories of transformation coming out of this clinic are truly inspiring.  When Conejo Free Clinic approached Crowd for Causes, their website didn’t fully reflect the life-saving work they do every day. Our mission was to create a digital home that’s as welcoming and accessible as the care they provide .
