Does your nonprofit have a Web presence that inspires visitors to donate to the organization's mission? Or is your website boring, plain and uninformative? If you answer is the latter, use these tips to ensure that your nonprofit's website helps the organization gain supporters and see higher traffic levels:
Put the most interesting content front and center
If the nonprofit recently held a volunteering event with a large turnout or carried out a fundraising strategy that brought in many donations, it's important to make pictures, videos and content that share information about these things as the feature of the website, according to an article for Network for Good. Being able to catch the eye of visitors is key in getting more interaction.
Make it easy for visitors to donate
Too often, nonprofits lose out on potential donations because website visitors can't find where to enter in payment data or the form calls for too much information. An article for The NonProfit Times said website designers working for nonprofits can solve this problem by decreasing the amount of necessary items donors need to fill out. In addition, organizations should also ensure their donor information can be found on the site's main page.
Take advantage of consumer tracking
Measuring the number of pages website visitors look at before seeking out opportunities to donate can be the difference between meeting fundraising goals and failing to keep the organization's head above water. With Google eCommerce Tracking, nonprofits can gather information that will ease the process of donating for supporters.
Don't forget contact information
Many Americans want to get in touch with a nonprofit before sending in a donation. This is why the Network for Good recommended having a working email account, phone number and office address clearly stated on the organization's site should be a high priority.

First Nonprofit has saved us so much money over the state’s program. We had one little glitch with the state recently and we contacted FNP immediately. FNP staff called us back immediately and moved to remedy the problem.
First Nonprofit has been a great partner. They have helped us saved hundreds of thousands of dollars! They have awesome resources for our nonprofit organization. Thanks for the partnership.
Life is certainly busy these days but having business partners like First Nonprofit has made some of the process hassle free. We have worked with this team for years. When we changed payroll systems, they outlined every step. I think this team is terrific and I know they get the job done! Thank you, Cruz, to all the team at FNP.
FNP has helped our agency to save thousands of dollars every year on our unemployment coverage. The service is phenomenal, and we are thankful to their team as our partner. My experience working with Marshall on the advocacy around UE for nonprofits was also a highlight as someone who teaches advocacy and lobbying for nonprofits. Really, your whole team is top shelf, so thank YOU!
Chicago Children’s Theatre has greatly benefited from our partnership with First Nonprofit, and I have always enjoyed working with the staff on our filings and any complicated questions. I would not hesitate to recommend First Nonprofit to fellow nonprofits. We’re very happy customers.
FNP is a great resource for Daniel Kids. To have a TPA that we can count on to take point on not only managing our unemployment claims, but to support and guide any protest hearing, is invaluable. All the professional support staff we have worked with have been excellent, very knowledgeable and responsive. We are grateful for the help and support, thank you.
When I first began in my position at my organization, I hadn’t had experience working with a company like FNP. The staff was so patient and helpful in helping to explain the benefits of First Nonprofit. Anytime I reach out with a question I receive a quick, clear, and thorough response. I’m so thankful that we decided to partner with FNP. Their excellence in customer service, coupled with their variety of packages frees us up to truly serve our staff and community with a peace of mind knowing that our organization is protected against unanticipated unemployment insurance expenses.
First Nonprofit gets an A+ in my book. You are so easy to work with & very knowledgeable! Whether it is my quarterly correspondence with Kim or my random interactions with Dawn about a bond … I am so pleased that I get to work with such a helpful company. Thank you!
