Squarespace: The Best Website Platform for Nonprofits (Plus Discounts!)

Your nonprofit’s website should make it easy to share your mission and connect with supporters without extra tech hurdles. Squarespace gives you everything you need for a clean, effective site that you can update yourself—no coding required. Here’s why Squarespace is such a good fit for nonprofits and how you can save on your first subscription.

1. Templates Designed to Tell Your Story

Squarespace’s Community & Nonprofits templates are designed with nonprofits in mind. They’re easy to customize, helping you build a site that looks professional and truly represents your mission, without relying on an outside developer to make updates.

2. Easy-to-Use Donation Blocks

Keeping donations flowing shouldn’t be a hassle. Squarespace’s Donation Block makes it simple for supporters to give directly on your site, with customizable options for donation amounts and fields to stay connected with your donors. And if your donation volume is higher, Squarespace’s Commerce plans eliminate transaction fees, maximizing each contribution.

3. Perfect for Volunteer-Managed Websites

With its intuitive, user-friendly platform, Squarespace is ideal for nonprofits with volunteer teams handling updates. Volunteers can log in to add blog posts, update events, or edit content with minimal training—keeping the site fresh and your audience engaged. If your nonprofit needs something more complex, I’m here to help with setup and provide guidance to make sure your team feels confident managing the site.

4. Built-In Tools to Engage Your Community

Squarespace offers built-in Email Campaigns and a blog page so you can keep supporters in the loop. Send newsletters, share stories, and post updates regularly, which not only strengthens engagement but also improves your search engine rankings.

5. Boost Visibility with Built-In SEO

Squarespace includes SEO tools that make it easy to get noticed. Adding a contact page with your location is perfect for local visibility, and Squarespace integrates seamlessly with tools like Google My Business and Google Search Console to help your nonprofit appear in relevant search results.
