A showcase of nonprofit websites built on Craft CMS
We highlight 16 nonprofit websites built on Craft CMS. The collection reflects diverse designs, content, and organization sizes and missions to showcase Craft CMS's versatility.
We're shining a spotlight on a content management tool that is central to our work here at Minds On Design Lab: Craft CMS. As a strategic design studio that works with small and mighty teams in the social sector, we understand the importance of having a robust, flexible, and user-friendly content management system. Craft CMS is such a platform addressing these key requirements and more. Craft CMS helps us create websites that look polished, reflecting the quality of our clients' work. It also creates a foundation that can grow with them.
When proposing Craft CMS, a common question we get is: "Can you show us examples of nonprofits that use Craft for their websites?" Here we share a collection of sites to answer just that. The sites shared reflect diverse designs, content, and organizational sizes and missions. All built on Craft CMS.
Some of the websites shared below are the fruits of our own design and development efforts, while many have been delivered by others. Each site underscores the versatility of Craft CMS. Let's dive in.
