5 Beautifully Designed Websites of Nonprofit Organizations

I spend my days devising ways to increase traffic, revenue, leads, conversion rates, engagement, etc. on my clients’ websites.  They are all private, for-profit organizations.  Metrics and key performance indicators of nonprofit websites will be discussed in another post.  In this post, I would like to post my top 5 favorite websites of nonprofit organizations.  Why? Because a beautifully designed website can substantially help increase your conversion rates, if you don’t do anything else to your website.

Here are a list of 5 beautifully designed nonprofit websites (of organizations that I support):

“charity: water is a non-profit organization bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations. 100% of public donations directly fund water projects.”

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

“Carbonica is a global brand and our carbon offsets fund reforestation and forest restoration programmes in Central America.”

“Beyond Current Horizons explores the future for education, beyond 2025. The aim is to help our education system prepare for and develop an ongoing and sustainable response to the challenges it faces as society and technology rapidly evolve.”

(RED) – They work with global brands, donating 50% of profits to the Global Fund to invest in HIV & AIDS programs in Africa.
