Built for nonprofits and foundations
Nonprofit Websites That Raise Funds Across the USA
Recurring giving through Stripe or PayPal, program pages with real outcomes, and the governance section grant reviewers open first. Kemafy designs nonprofit websites for US organizations from $1,500.
Foundations and individual donors read a nonprofit website differently. What does one cost, and what do funders look for?
Kemafy builds nonprofit websites from $1,500 for programs, story and contact, and from $3,000 once recurring donations, impact reporting and volunteer tools are added. Foundations and corporate funders read a site very differently from an individual donor: they look for your 501(c)(3) determination, board list, latest Form 990, audited financials and outcomes with numbers attached. Individual donors look for one person whose life changed and a give button that works on a phone. A good nonprofit site does both without apology.

Why the sector sets the brief.
Every nonprofit site is read by two people who want opposite things.
The first is a supporter who saw your post, is moved, and will give $25 right now if the button works — and will not give if the form asks for a mailing address first. The second is a program officer at a Denver foundation with forty applications on her desk, checking whether your board is real, whether your 990 is current, and whether your outcomes are measured or merely described. Kemafy builds for both. Giving runs through Stripe, PayPal or your donor platform with recurring gifts and automatic tax receipts. Programs get their own pages with numbers, not adjectives. And a transparency section holds the 501(c)(3) letter, board bios, annual reports and financials in one obvious place, because the fastest way to lose a grant is to make the reviewer ask for them.
The parts we build most often
Give in Under a Minute
One-time and monthly gifts through Stripe, PayPal or your donor CRM, with tax receipts sent automatically.
Outcomes, Not Adjectives
Program pages that state who was served, how many, and what changed, with the data grant reviewers cite.
The Governance Page
501(c)(3) determination, board and staff, Form 990s, audited financials and annual reports together in one place.
Stories That Carry the Mission
Beneficiary stories, photos and video presented with the dignity of the people in them.
Volunteer & Event Signups
Shift signups, event registration and in-kind donation forms that route to the right coordinator.
Publish Without a Developer
News, reports and program updates posted by your team, because a stale site reads as an inactive organization.
Counted out, line by line
Nothing here is an upsell. Each line ships with the build, alongside hosting setup, SSL, analytics and a walkthrough for whoever will run the site.

In their words
What clients say once the site is live.
Sales are up 50% since the new store went live. Checkout is three taps, and our regulars keep telling us how easy it is.
What nonprofits & foundations owners ask us.
Can we phase the build around our grant cycle?
Yes, and many organizations do. Mission, programs, stories and contact pages start at $1,500 and can go live first; donation processing, recurring giving, impact reporting and volunteer tools follow when funding lands, taking the total from $3,000 upward. The phases are written to match your fiscal year or grant calendar.
Which donation platforms do you work with?
Stripe and PayPal for organizations that want the lowest fees and full control, and donor platforms such as Givebutter, Bloomerang, Donorbox and Classy when you need CRM features. Every option sends an IRS-compliant receipt and lets donors manage recurring gifts themselves.
What should be on the site before we apply for grants?
Your 501(c)(3) determination letter, a named board with short bios, the two most recent Form 990s, an annual report or financial summary, and program pages with measurable outcomes. Reviewers verify these before they read the narrative.
Does the site need to be accessible?
Yes, and not only because ADA complaints against nonprofits are rising. Many of the people you serve and many of your older donors use screen readers or larger text, and an accessible site is how they participate.
