These days, your nonprofit’s website isn’t just


a supplementary resource for supporters.
Rather, it’s often the primary place your
community will engage with your cause,
whether that’s by donating, registering for
events, or reading your latest blog posts.

That being said, web design is often left as an


afterthought for nonprofit organizations.
Maybe your team feels they don’t have
enough coding expertise, or perhaps hiring a
web developer is outside the reach of your
budget.

However, it’s time your nonprofit took a


second look at its web design strategy and
considered trying out a really useful
resource: nonprofit website templates.

Nonprofit website templates do the hard work


of web design for you. Instead of having to
code an entire site from scratch, your team
can simply pick the template that looks right
for your cause and customize it to perfectly
align with your nonprofit’s web design vision.

Think a nonprofit website template sounds


right for your cause’s online home? Check out
some of these top templates to get inspired:

1. Members for Community Associations

2. Paws for Animal Welfare

3. Restore for Environmental Nonprofits

4. Progress for Health Organizations

5. Harmony for International Nonprofits

6. UniAlumni for University Alumni

7. Fullscreen for Arts & Culture

8. Churhius for Churches

9. Content King for Nonprofit News

Designing, implementing, and maintaining a


stellar nonprofit website doesn’t need to be
out of reach for your team. Let’s dive into
these standout nonprofit website templates to
see what resources are out there!

Community associations need a warm and
inviting home for their members online, and
Members is one of the best nonprofit website
templates for the job.

Whether your community association serves


the homeless, provides after-school tutoring
to at-risk youth, or oversees community
development projects, Members can bring
your organization’s mission to life with its
friendly web design.

Since most community associations are


smaller organizations focused on local
projects, Members puts your constituency
first in its focus on visual elements.

By featuring rotating banner images,


Members immediately draws attention to
your community association’s diverse staff
and supporters. Even further, Members keeps
users interested by calling attention to your
ongoing projects right at the top of the page.

This way, as soon as users arrive on your site,


they’ll be greeted with all of the tools they
need to get engaged with your cause.

Luckily, Members is one of the most intuitive
nonprofit website templates on our list.

Offered through Morweb’s nonprofit CMS,


your community association doesn’t need any
web design experience to get started
designing your Members website. This
template stands out because:

It requires no coding expertise. Members


is a great fit for community organizations
because you don’t need to have coding
experience to customize this template
design.

You can drag and drop elements. This


template is really simple to tailor to your
web design vision. Just add, drag, and
drop elements wherever you need them
on your site.

It can be branded to your cause. Make


your Members website perfectly match
your community association by including
your logo and branded colors throughout
the site.

Members is a great fit for community


associations of all shapes and sizes. You can
even test drive this nonprofit website
template before you make a commitment.

For animal welfare organizations looking to
breathe life into their online presence, there’s
no better nonprofit website template than
Paws.

Paws is a template expertly designed for


organizations that put animals first, from
regional animal shelters to animal rights
advocacy groups. Organizations that stand up
for animals need to be outspoken in order to
call attention to the needs of our furry
friends, and Companion makes doing so truly
intuitive.

With Paws, you can elicit empathy from your


website’s visitors by adding large, high-
definition images of the animals your
organization serves right in the middle of
your homepage.

Paws suggests that nonprofits structure their


site around calls to action that compel visitors
to engage with your cause. By doing so, your
website’s visitors immediately feel like they’re
part of your organization’s mission to serve
animals and will be inspired to keep engaging
with your cause online.

,B2+$,-.$C-/*5'$DE*11/$C"$F"=$&--GH
Much like Members, Morweb’s Paws
nonprofit website template makes web design
an easy task.

Your animal welfare organization will be able


to perfectly create your ideal website with all
of the skills you already have (no coding
required). Using drag and drop elements and
customization tools, you can get your website
up and running in no time.

Even better? You can check out Paws in action

Let’s be honest: it’s not always easy to get
people excited about the environment. But
with Restore, it’s never been simpler to
inspire supporters to give back to your
environmental advocacy cause.

When nonprofits like yours choose Restore,


they’re empowered to drive individuals to
work with your cause in its mission to
support the environment. This nonprofit
website builder includes call-to-action
elements in the top banner to immediately
draw attention to your organization’s work.

Not only that, but Restore features an easily-


navigable running header menu to direct
traffic to your website’s core pages, including
your giving page.

In the middle of the homepage, your


nonprofit can include your calendar of
upcoming events to ensure that all of your
visitors know what engagement opportunities
are coming up. Environmental organizations
tend to be very event-focused, so this element
can be especially impactful.

Ultimately, Restore makes it simple for your


nonprofit to connect with site visitors in a
way that appeals to their interests and offers
them the engagement opportunities they’re
looking for.

,B2+$,-.$C-/*5'$DE*11/$C"$F"=$&--GH
Nonprofits love Morweb’s Restore template
because it’s another user-friendly nonprofit
website template that anyone can master.

Your organization can make Restore your


own without any coding experience. Even
better, you’ll have access to all of the same
customizable elements that you can find in
Paws and Members, meaning there’s nothing
in the way of your team making Restore
completely your own.

Your organization can play around with


Restore’s intuitive interface by testing out this
demo template.

Your nonprofit organization is dedicated to
laying the groundwork for positive health
outcomes in your community.

Whether your health organization supports a


small local clinic or represents individuals
across the nation, you’ll need a website
template designed for causes just like yours.
Look no further than Progress.

Progress is a website template crafted


precisely for health-driven nonprofit
organizations and offers your team all the
features you could ever need to connect with
constituents online and drive engagement.

Like the previous few entries on this list,


Progress places your constituency first with a
focus on including high-quality images right
at the top of the page in an image slider
element.

Progress goes even further to put your


community first by offering private,
password-protected pages for your team to
host confidential information.

Confidentiality concerning health


information is so important in your sector, so
you’ll want to trust that your website has the
capabilities to protect your community’s
privacy.

,B2+$,-.$C-/*5'$DE*11/$C"$F"=$&--GH
Much of your health organization’s staff have
professional histories in the healthcare
industry as doctors, nurses, administrators,
and more.

What’s less common is to find individuals at


health-focused nonprofits who have extensive
experience with web design. Don’t worry,
though! Morweb’s Progress theme is another
nonprofit website template that your team
can get up and running without having to be a
coding expert.

Your team can check out all that Progress has


to offer by clicking through to this free trial

As a member of an international nonprofit
organization, it’s no secret that it can be
difficult to build and maintain a strong
community that spans countries and
continents.

That’s why templates like Harmony can make


such a difference in the way your constituents
connect with one another. Channeling
empathy for your beneficiaries is at the heart
of your mission, so your website should be
designed to shine a spotlight on the
communities you serve.

Harmony has all the essential web design


features your nonprofit needs: a user-
friendly interface, high-definition photo
galleries, live editing.

This template also offers member directories


to help make connections between your
members the world over.

Having an easy-access member directory can


do wonders for your international nonprofit’s
engagement efforts. Supporters can search
friends, family, colleagues, and even new
partners in your mission to make connections
within your community.

Member directories help your constituents


form stronger ties, and with a community
spread out as far as yours, you’ll need all the
tools you can find to help build relationships.

,B2+$,-.$C-/*5'$DE*11/$C"$F"=$&--GH
With staff and supporters located across the
globe, your international nonprofit will need
to choose a website template that anyone can
master.

Morweb’s Harmony theme is a stand-out


nonprofit website template not only for its
focus on building connections in your
community, but also for it’s user-friendly
interface. Like the other Morweb entries,
you’ll have full access to all the web design
tools you need (without needing to code).

For universities, one of the toughest
challenges you face is finding innovative and
effective ways to engage your alumni,
especially online.

Take a look at UniAlumni for your university’s


alumni fundraising needs. Not only is this
nonprofit website template designed
precisely for alumni engagement, but it’s also
created to directly address university
fundraising needs.

Instead of trying to make a generic website


template work for your school, consider
trying a tailored solution like UniAlumni.

Near the top of the homepage, UniAlumni


allows your team to add an event countdown
element that updates in real time. Live
elements like this help get your visitors
excited to stay engaged with your school and
can be especially useful for advertising
alumni get-togethers.

UniAlumni is highly customizable and can be


branded to match your university seamlessly.

,B2+$,-.$C-/*5'$DE*11/$C"$F"=$&--GH
Although UniAlumni is designed with
customization in mind, there’s still more of a
learning curve to mastering this particular
website template than earlier entries on our
list.

Since UniAlumni is a WordPress website


template, your team will need to have some
experience working within this content
management system. This means that unless
your staff has a WordPress expert on hand, it
might be difficult to make the most of this
particular template.

You can preview UniAlumni by clicking


through to this interactive website template.

For nonprofit organizations that put arts and
culture at the front of their mission, having a
visually-elegant website is typically at the top
of their web design priority list.

Fullscreen is a top nonprofit website template


for arts and cultural organizations like
museums, community arts funds, and youth
organizations. This stylish template puts
visuals first and makes to easy to share your
latest work with visitors.

This nonprofit website template empowers


organizations like yours to easily upload and
arrange artwork within a minimalist,
streamlined layout.

With this template, your nonprofit can help


users focus on the work your organization
produces or shares, all the while connecting
them with the information they want to learn
in order to get involved or give back to your
cause.

Fullscreen is a great nonprofit website


template for arts and cultural organizations
because it takes the artistic sensibilities of
your community seriously.

,B2+$,-.$C-/*5'$DE*11/$C"$F"=$&--GH
Like UniAlumni, Fullscreen is a bit more
complicated to use than the first few entries
on this list.

Fullscreen runs on Drupal, another content


management system. While this system
offers lots of customizable options, Drupal
has a bit of a learning curve and isn’t
recommended for organizations without
coding experience.

If your team wants to take a look at Fullscreen


in action, try this website template demo.

Churches and faith-based groups are quite
distinct from other nonprofit organizations,
and this especially shows when it comes to
web design.

Churhius was created to respond to the web


design needs of church organizations. Like
typical nonprofits, churches need a web
design solution that makes creating an
engaging, visually-appealing website an easy
task.

With Churhius, church organizations can


create a totally customized website to drive
attendance and tithing among their
congregation.

On the site’s homepage, your team can


feature compelling visuals of your
community on missions trips, volunteering,
or in fellowship. Add high definition images
to your rotating banner and embed videos
that show your community in action.

Churhius gives congregations like yours all


the visual and design tools they need to see
their web design visions into reality.

,B2+$,-.$C-/*5'$DE*11/$C"$F"=$&--GH
If your church opts to partner with Churhius
to design your website, you’ll need to bring a
bit of experience to the table.

Churhius runs on HTML, meaning that your


congregation’s website needs to be built using
HTML instead of another markup language
like CSS or JavaScript. While HTML is one of
the most widely practiced markup languages,
your church may have a hard time finding a
dedicated HTML expert among your
congregation to see your vision through.

before you make your website template
choice.

Perhaps you’re a nonprofit advocacy group or
industry association that wants to build a site
specifically designed to keep people up to
date with nonprofit news.

Content King is a great website template for


building a site that’s expressly designed to
present new and blog updates. With Content
King, your team can set up blogrolls, feature
posts on your front page, and stream news
from all of the top news sites on the web.

This website template takes an engaging,


internet-focused approach to sharing viral
news content that’s relevant to your sector of

site. You can create live modules that feature

Not only is Content King a dynamic website


template, but it also really offers your team a
host of useful tools to create a completely
customized nonprofit news site.

,B2+$,-.$C-/*5'$DE*11/$C"$F"=$&--GH
Content King runs on Joomla, a content
management system like Drupal and
WordPress.

Since Joomla is somewhat complicated to use,


your team may find it challenging to get
someone on your staff to manage your site.
Content King itself can be tough to master, so
this could cause strategic issues behind the
scenes that prevent your nonprofit news site
from getting up and running.

You can check out a preview version of


Content King here.
