Foundation Website Development

Custom foundation websites start at $12,000 for organizations needing program pages, grant information, and impact reporting. Complex builds with full grant application portals, board governance sections, grantee dashboards, and 990 transparency pages range from $18,000 to $25,000. Every project is fixed-fee with no hidden costs.

Yes. We build grant application portals with multi-step forms, document upload, application status tracking, reviewer dashboards, and automated notifications. Applicants create accounts, save draft applications, upload required documents, and track their submission through the review process. Administrators can score applications, leave internal notes, and generate funding decision reports.

We create a dedicated financial transparency page with downloadable 990 forms organized by year, executive compensation summaries, grant distribution breakdowns, and program expense ratios. This satisfies IRS public disclosure requirements and builds donor and grantee trust. We can auto-link to GuideStar or ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer for third-party verification.

Each program page should include the program mission, eligibility criteria, funding history, current grantees with brief profiles, measurable outcomes, timeline for applications, total dollars distributed, and geographic focus. We build these as dynamic pages pulled from your database so staff can update program information without developer assistance.

Yes. We build grantee portals where funded organizations submit progress reports, upload financial documentation, and share impact metrics against their grant milestones. Foundation staff review submissions through an admin dashboard with approval workflows, automated reminders for overdue reports, and exportable compliance summaries for board meetings.

We build interactive impact pages with program-level outcome charts, grant distribution maps, beneficiary stories, and year-over-year comparison data. Annual report pages feature downloadable PDFs alongside interactive web versions. These pages serve both public accountability and internal board reporting needs.

We integrate with Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud, Fluxx, Submittable, and SmartSimple for grant management. For foundations without existing CRM, we build custom Supabase-powered grantee databases with application tracking, payment scheduling, and reporting. All integrations include two-way sync so website submissions flow directly into your grant management system.

A standard foundation website takes 8 to 10 weeks from discovery to launch. Builds with full grant application portals, grantee dashboards, and custom reporting take 10 to 14 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline during discovery and assign a dedicated project manager to your build.

Creating a foundation website involves several key steps. Begin by defining your foundation's mission and objectives to guide the site's content. Choose a user-friendly website builder or CMS like WordPress to simplify design and updates. Select a clean, professional theme that aligns with your brand. Include essential pages such as About Us, Mission, Programs, News, and Contact. Ensure the site is mobile-responsive and accessible. Integrate donation options and social media links to engage visitors. Regularly update content to maintain relevance and credibility.

The 33% rule for nonprofits refers to the guideline that a nonprofit should aim to have at least 33% of its revenue coming from public support, which includes individual donations, grants, and public charity contributions. This is crucial for maintaining tax-exempt status with the IRS, as it demonstrates that the organization is sufficiently supported by the public rather than by a few individuals or entities. This rule helps ensure that the nonprofit's activities align with its mission and public interest.
