Before anyone says yes to your nonprofit, they look you up.
We make sure what they find is clear, consistent, and true: in search and AI answers, on your website, in your numbers and in a one-minute story. The website is how we carry it. We design it, write every page and make every change you send. You see it finished on a private address before you pay the build fee. Every feature named on this page is running on a sample site you can open.
Found in search
A parent searches your name and finds a page with no description, a second spelling of your name, or a bigger organization with a similar one. An AI assistant asked for help names someone else.
Most people find a nonprofit by its name, on the map, or now in an AI answer. So search is not ads and not tricks: it is one name and one line about what you do, said the same way on every page, in the form search engines and AI tools read, and on every listing. All of it is in the plan.
- ✓A title and description written for every page, not picked from your footer by a machine
- ✓Structured data search engines read: the facts about your organization, your programs and your events, in the format they expect
- ✓A search-preview page that shows what Google sees for each page, with the official test links
- ✓Your Google Business Profile and nonprofit listings pointed at the site, with the same name and description, using the access you give us

Nonprofit website design
The programs page still says last year. Everyone knows. Nobody on a staff of four has time, the developer bills by the hour, and the volunteer who built it moved away.
We build the site so it stays current without a developer: staff change dates, places and notices on one screen, and every page follows. Nothing is kept behind a higher tier.
- ✓The site, designed around what your organization does, not a template with your logo on it
- ✓Every page written for you, and a redesign of the site you have now, moved over page by page, up to 40 pages
- ✓Pages staff edit on one screen: programs, events, people, documents, today's notice
- ✓Forms that work: enrol, refer, apply, sign up, with live places, waitlists and an age check
- ✓Volunteer roles and shifts, a donation page and a newsletter sign-up on the tools you already use
- ✓The staff side: one menu, tiles, a list of what needs attention today, and a login for every staff member
- ✓Your brand, set once: a mark and wordmark, colours and type, and a one-line description, used on every page, video and listing
- ✓Photography and motion graphics, and the picture and title that appear when someone shares a page
- →An enrolment form with a waitlist →Harborlight Youth Arts
- →Today's notice feeding a whole site →Kestrel Youth Center, a sample youth center
- →The staff side, no password →Signs you in as sample staff; nothing you change is saved
What the money did
The site lists your programs. It never says what they achieved, so a donor who looks you up has only the ratings sites to go on.
An Impact page that says what the year achieved and how each number was counted, with your financials beside it for anyone who asks. Refreshed every year, as part of the plan.
- ✓An Impact page: what the year achieved, each figure with how it was counted, and what could not be proved
- ✓The year, adding up: income and expenses on the page, and a line saying the filing is the official number if the page and the filing disagree
- ✓A give panel that says where a gift goes, and a For-funders page
- ✓Your Form 990s and statements, the three most recent, labelled and dated, for anyone who asks
- ✓An accessibility statement that says what was tested and what was not
- ✓Kept current: a check that says when the newest 990 is a year old
- →An Impact page, every number with its method →Harborlight Youth Arts
- →Numbers with a method, the year adding up →Larkspur Family Counseling, a sample counseling center

Looked after
A site is right on launch day and wrong a year later: last year's Form 990, a program that ended, a director who left. Nobody on a staff of four has the afternoon to fix it.
We checked 150 small nonprofit websites: about one in four shows something plainly out of date. How we counted →
So the monthly fee is not hosting with a nicer name. We make every change for you, and once a year we go through the whole site with you, in writing, so it is as true in year three as it was at launch.
- ✓Every change made for you. Send it through the request form; small ones, up to thirty minutes of work, are done within one business day. A full redesign is a separate conversation
- ✓The yearly update: the new Form 990 published, the numbers on your pages matched to it, staff, board, programs and dates gone through with you
- ✓The Impact page brought up to date every year
- ✓Each November, the donation page and a home banner refreshed for year-end giving
- ✓Up to five one-minute videos a year, made only from the photos and clips you send us, for your site and social media
- ✓A check every month: broken links, contrast, missing alt text, found and fixed before they pile up
- ✓Hosting, domain, updates, backups and security
- ✓A tool we build for the plan is added to your site too, at no charge

- →The year adding up, and three years of filings →Tenmile Youth Soccer Club, a sample sports club
We publish. Your accountant prepares and confirms. connectNPO does not provide legal, tax, accounting, or Form 990 advice.
Story videos
Your photos sit in a folder. Your 990 sits in a PDF. Neither tells anyone what the year was like.
Send us the photos and clips you already have, and a line on what the video is for. We write a one-minute script from your site and your filing, you approve it, and we make the video. Up to five a year.
Copper Ridge is invented, so it has no photos of its own. This sample uses AI clips of its rooms and animals and free stock footage where a real organization’s photos would go. For your organization we use only the photos and clips you send.
Read the script instead (about one minute)
This is Hazel. She came to Copper Ridge Animal Rescue on the 28th of August, recovering from surgery on a back leg.
Copper Ridge is an old feed store on Mill Street. Three staff, one part-timer, and 85 foster homes. Last year, 612 animals came through its doors.
First stop: the vet. Vaccines, a microchip, and for Hazel, surgery. The average animal costs about $917, and one surgery can cost more than that on its own.
Next, Hazel needs a foster home. Three quiet weeks: no stairs, no jumping. The rescue sends her medication, a crate, food, and a ride to her follow-up visits if needed. Once she is listed, her foster family gets the first chance to keep her.
Last year, 571 animals were adopted. Hazel is still waiting for her foster home. Foster, adopt, or give monthly, so the vet can say yes to the next surgery without a phone call first.
Sample video. Copper Ridge Animal Rescue is invented and every figure is a sample. Stock footage (Pexels) stands in for the rescue’s own clips; the clips of Hazel, the feed store, its rooms and porch, and some of its animals are AI-generated. No one’s face is shown. The narration is a synthetic voice and the music is AI-generated. Made by connectNPO.
- 1You send the photos and clips you already have, and a line or two on what the video is for: year-end giving, volunteers, an event, the story in your 990.
- 2We write a one-minute script from what is on your site and in your filing, and send it for your yes.
- 3We make it within one week of getting your material: about a minute, wide and vertical, captions burnt in, and a text version for your site.

- →One free video for the first five nonprofits →Made from your 990 and your own pictures
Up to five a year, no extra charge. No AI-generated scenes or people and no stock footage in your videos. The voice is your own recording, or the words appear on screen.
One brand, five places, one plan.
A funder, a family and an AI assistant each look you up somewhere different. Sold apart, the search work, the website, the numbers and the video each tell a slightly different story. Done by one team, they say the same thing.
The description is written for the page it opens
Not for a home page that says "welcome". The result and the page say the same thing, so nobody bounces.
The programs page links to the money
Fees, the give panel and the financials share one set of numbers, entered once by staff.
Next year, the numbers still agree
When the new 990 is filed, it goes up and every page that quotes a figure is matched to it, so nothing a donor reads contradicts the record.
Asked before people write.
Everything here is also on the pricing page. A call is available and never required.
Is publishing the Form 990 really included, or is it an upsell?
Included. It is the standard, not a tier. Form 990, the determination letter and the financial statements are published for you, and refreshed every year when the new 990 is filed.
What if we already have a website we like?
Then keep it. We can often publish your Form 990 on it as a single page. Write to us with the address, and the reply says so rather than selling you a site you do not need.
Are the sample sites real organizations?
No. All fifteen are invented, and every page says so. We built them because no nonprofit can show you a client's staff area. Nothing on them is a client's data.
Can our staff really keep it current?
That is the point of the staff side: one menu, tiles for the tools you use, a list of what needs attention today. Open the staff preview on any sample site and try it. Nothing you change is saved.
Do we have to get on a call?
No. Meetings are not how we work: you tell us what you need in writing and we answer in writing within one business day. If you still want a call, ask and we will set one up.
Do you write grants?
No. We build the site a funder checks before they answer your application. The application is yours.
What if we need something your sample sites do not have?
Tell us in writing. The sample sites show what we can build today, and every part is adjusted to how your organization works. If we can build what you need well, we will. If we cannot, we say so in writing before we start, rather than half-building it.
What counts as a small change?
About thirty minutes of work: text, dates, photos, a document, a new page from material you send. You send them through the request form, and they are done within one business day. Bigger ones get a date in our reply, and a full redesign is a separate conversation.
Tell us what your nonprofit needs.
In writing, in your own time. We reply within one business day with what we would build, what it costs and what we need from you.
What you have, what is missing, which sample is closest. No account, no call to book.
