How can your website serve your organization?
A website is an investment and not an expense. It works around the clock and can handle hundreds of people at a time. Your website can spread the word to further your organization at all times by recruiting more volunteers, connecting with donors, and helping you to gain more recognition for the work you are already doing. Its fundraising ability can help you to raise more money for your organization and quickly pay for itself!
In a Millenial Donors Report, 71% of respondents get information about nonprofit organizations through web searches! http://casefoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/MillennialImpactReport-2011.pdf.
