A site that moves people to give.

For small foundations and mission-driven organizations where every donation has to be earned with story.

Northgate Foundation — a concept build. The businesses are fictional, the craft is real.

01 · What we keep hearing

Three things that probably sound familiar.

Donate buttons that feel like checkout

Donating to a cause shouldn’t feel like buying a hoodie. When the giving flow reads like a store checkout, a moved donor closes the tab before they finish.

Impact reports buried as PDFs

Your annual report is your best argument for the next gift, and a buried PDF is where that argument goes to die. It deserves a real page a donor will actually read.

Volunteer pages that just list shifts

A volunteer wants to picture the people, the impact, and what their day will feel like. A bare list of shifts on a Google Form doesn’t move anyone off the couch.

The approach

The mission, the people, and the proof, arranged so a first-time visitor wants to be part of it.

02 · For nonprofits

Built for donors and volunteers.

Donation flows that move

Stripe, Donorbox, or your own custom flow — suggested amounts, recurring giving, and a thank-you that doesn’t read like a receipt.

Impact, not infographics

Your numbers told as stories — with photos, names, and quotes from the people your work reached, gathered with their consent.

Program pages that stand alone

Each program gets its own page with its own story — legible to a first-time visitor, linkable from a grant application.

Volunteer pages with warmth

Real photos of volunteers, real days, what to expect. Signing up should feel like joining a community, not booking a shift.

Transparency, designed

Board, financials, annual report — real pages laid out with the same care as the homepage. For donors, trust is the conversion.

501(c)(3) basics

Clean tax-deductible language, donation receipts, board-listing pages. We know the rituals.

03 · The ledger

What your site includes, line by line.

See what every plan includes →

The front page

The mission in one sentence, the proof in one scroll — and the Donate button never lost.

Donate flow

Suggested amounts, recurring giving, a receipt that says thank you like you mean it.

Program pages

One per program — the story, the people, the numbers you stand behind.

Impact stories

Names, photos, and quotes from the people your work reached — with their consent.

Volunteer page

What a shift actually feels like, and a signup that feeds your CRM.

Transparency pages

Board, financials, and annual report, designed rather than PDF’d.

Event pages

The gala, the 5K, the book drive — a page with the date and the ask.

Newsletter signup

One field, wired to the email tool you already use.

Every build draws from this ledger — Foundation distills it into one good page, Studio gives the essentials their own rooms, Atelier builds the whole table.

05 · Nonprofit questions

The ones we hear first.

Yes. Verified 501(c)(3) organizations get 20% off all plans, billed annually.

Your mission deserves a site that moves people.
