9 Best Website Builders for Nonprofits of 2026

By the TopToolAdvisor research desk · Updated November 11, 2026 · Next review December 26, 2026 · 9 products scored

Our pickWixsmall charities that want a free start and built-in donation campaigns8.7

Our pick in brief

Wix ranks first because the free Wix Donations app adds donation campaigns with recurring gifts to an easy drag-and-drop site, though collecting money needs Core at $29 a month billed yearly. Squarespace is the strongest all-in-one choice for design, with donation pages, donor management and Email Campaigns in one account. WordPress.com adds recurring donations on Premium at $8 a month billed yearly and is the best fit for nonprofits that publish often. Givebutter is the best free way to take donations and sell event tickets, and it embeds in other builders. Morweb suits established charities that want a managed build, Donorbox adds free donation forms to any existing site, WildApricot fits membership organizations, Weebly is the simplest free site with RSVP forms, and Webflow is the only builder with a published nonprofit discount.

Quick answer

Wix is the best website builder for most nonprofits in 2026 because its free Wix Donations app runs separate one-time and recurring donation campaigns on any site with a payments plan, from Core at $29 a month billed yearly; Squarespace suits charities that want donation pages, donor records and email campaigns in one account. The cheapest option is Givebutter, whose donation forms, fundraising pages and event tickets are free with a 0% platform fee when donor tips are on, as of November 2026. Membership organizations should pick WildApricot, and nonprofits with a designer should look at Webflow's 50% nonprofit discount.

This list is for charities and community groups that need a website to take donations, sign up volunteers and promote events, ideally at a nonprofit price. We compared documented features and published prices for nine options: general website builders (Wix, Squarespace, WordPress.com, Weebly and Webflow), nonprofit platforms (Morweb and WildApricot) and donation tools that embed in any site (Givebutter and Donorbox). Scores cover features, ease of use and value, and the overall score is a weighted average of the three. Prices come from each vendor's own page on the date shown, in US dollars; where a page showed us another currency, the price is marked pending.

    Wix

    A drag-and-drop website builder with a free Wix Donations app for one-time and recurring donation campaigns.

    Price

    Free plan; paid plans from $17 per month billed yearly (Light); accepting donations needs Core at $29 per month or higher

    Quoted from the Wix pricing page on November 11, 2026: Light Get the basics 17$ per month.

    Wix is the easiest general builder to turn into a donation site. The Wix Donations app installs from the App Market and automatically adds a Donations page with a form and a Thank You page, and the form widget can also go on any other page or in a popup. Each campaign has its own donation frequency and suggested amounts, so a charity can run separate appeals side by side. Wix's help center notes one condition: the site must be on a plan that supports payments, with a connected payment provider. On the plans page, payments start with Core at $29 a month billed yearly, which also brings 50 GB of storage and 5 site collaborators for staff and volunteers. Light at $17 covers a brochure site with a free domain for a year, and the free plan is enough to build and test. Wix does not advertise a nonprofit discount, and the displayed yearly prices are offers for the initial term, so budget for renewals.

    Strengths

    • +Free plan with hosting, the drag-and-drop editor and templates
    • +Multiple named campaigns, such as one fund for dogs and one for cats in an animal shelter
    • +Light, Core and Business plans include a free domain for 1 year

    Drawbacks

    • −Donations need a plan that supports payments, so Light at $17 is not enough
    • −Wix lists no nonprofit discount on its plans page
    • −Yearly prices shown on the plans page are introductory offers for the first term

    Price

    See vendor pricing (USD check pending); 14-day free trial

    We could not confirm a US price yet. Check the Squarespace pricing page.

    Squarespace has built a dedicated donations product rather than leaving it to an add-on. Its donations page lists branded, mobile-friendly giving pages, labels on suggested amounts (useful for sponsorship tiers), one-time and recurring gifts, and payment by card, ACH direct debit and mobile wallets such as Apple Pay. Donor management keeps contact details and donation history, and Squarespace Email Campaigns sends thank-you notes and appeals from the same account. Custom forms collect volunteer or newsletter sign-ups, and pop-ups and banners promote a campaign across the site. There are donation-specific templates to start from. The trade-offs are price transparency for us and team size: the pricing page showed us local currency rather than USD, so the price is marked pending, and Basic allows only 2 contributors. Core lifts that to unlimited contributors and drops the online store transaction fee to 0%. There is a 14-day trial but no free plan.

    Strengths

    • +Donation tools, donor records and fundraising email live in one account
    • +Donation templates such as Malone, Bailard, Lusaka and Paloma
    • +Custom forms can collect volunteer and mailing list sign-ups

    Drawbacks

    • −No free plan, only a 14-day trial

    Free forever plan; Givebutter Plus from $29 per month based on contacts

    Quoted from the Givebutter pricing page on November 11, 2026: Free forever $0/month Starting at $29/month

    Givebutter is not a general website builder, but for many small charities it does the part of the website that raises money, at no subscription cost. The free plan covers custom donation forms, campaign pages, event ticketing and silent auctions, and a donor CRM that never charges for contacts. Givebutter funds this through optional tips from donors: with tips on, nonprofits pay 0% in platform fees and processing fees are backed by what Givebutter calls the Givebutter Guarantee. With tips off, a flat 3% platform fee applies plus 2.9% + 30 cents per card gift. Widgets embed forms on sites built with Wix, WordPress and others, which is how most organizations will use it alongside a builder. Givebutter Plus starts at $29 a month and is priced by contact count, with a 30-day trial. Pick it for donations and events, and pair it with a builder for the rest of the site.

    Strengths

    • +0% platform fee across campaign types when donor tips are on
    • +Nonprofits never pay for contacts in the free CRM
    • +Widgets add Givebutter forms to a site built elsewhere

    Drawbacks

    • −Not a full website builder: you still need a main site for most content
    • −Turning tips off adds a flat 3% platform fee plus card processing of 2.9% + 30 cents
    • −Plus tiers rise with your contact count

    Price

    Free plan; Personal from $4 per month billed yearly; donations need Premium at $8 per month billed yearly

    Quoted from the WordPress.com pricing page on November 11, 2026: Build your presence with a site you can customize. US$ 9 US$ 4

    WordPress.com is the low-cost route for nonprofits that publish regularly. Its Donations Form block takes one-time donations and monthly or yearly recurring gifts through Stripe, with preset amounts, a custom amount option and limits you can set. The support docs state the feature is available on Premium, Business and Commerce plans, so the useful entry point is Premium at $8 a month billed yearly; Personal at $4 removes ads but cannot take donations. WordPress.com charges a payment fee on top of Stripe: 4% on Premium, 2% on Business at $25 a month billed yearly and 0% on Commerce at $45. A charity raising a few thousand dollars a year will usually be fine on Premium, while larger online fundraising makes Business cheaper overall. The editor has more to learn than Wix or Squarespace, but the blogging tools are the strongest on this list for impact stories and news.

    Strengths

    • +Premium at $8 a month billed yearly is the lowest-cost plan here with built-in recurring donations
    • +Strong blogging and publishing tools for impact stories
    • +Payment fee falls to 2% on Business and 0% on Commerce

    Drawbacks

    • −Donations are not available on the Free or Personal plans
    • −Premium keeps a 4% fee on top of Stripe's own fees
    • −Free sites show WordPress.com ads to visitors

    Price

    Starter from $149 per month plus a setup fee; Grow from $199 per month

    Quoted from the Morweb pricing page on November 11, 2026: Starter Essential tools for nonprofits Starting at $149/month (USD)

    Morweb sells a nonprofit website as a package rather than a do-it-yourself builder. The pricing page splits cost into a setup fee, which depends on size and modules, and a monthly plan. Starter, from $149 a month, already accepts donations and includes a blog, SEO tools, hosting with daily backups, an SSL certificate and live-chat support. Grow, from $199 a month, adds the modules most charities ask for: events and calendar, a form builder (useful for volunteer applications), a fundraising module, Google Translate and accessibility level A. Engage and Enterprise add private pages, WCAG level AA and multi-site management at quoted prices. Setup includes discovery, content strategy, design, content migration and staff training, and Morweb says non-technical users can edit with its drag-and-drop live editor. Payments run through Stripe. It is the best fit for organizations that would otherwise hire an agency, and too expensive for a volunteer-run group.

    Strengths

    • +Built only for nonprofits, schools, associations and healthcare
    • +Form builder module suits volunteer sign-ups
    • +No Morweb branding on the live site and no cancellation fees

    Drawbacks

    • −Most expensive builder here, plus a one-time setup fee that varies by project
    • −Engage and Enterprise prices are on request
    • −No email hosting

    Free Standard plan with 2.95% to 3.95% platform fees; Pro $150 per month with fees of 1.75% to 2%

    Quoted from the Donorbox pricing page on November 11, 2026: Standard Plan $0 /month Use Donorbox for free Platform and processing fees Pro Plan $150 /month

    Donorbox is the add-on most charities reach for when a builder's own donation tools fall short. The free Standard plan includes unlimited donation forms that you paste into any website or launch as a pop-up, unlimited hosted donation pages, crowdfunding and peer-to-peer campaigns, event ticketing and the Donorbox CRM, with up to 5 team members. Donorbox earns from platform fees on Standard, which the pricing page lists as between 2.95% and 3.95%, before payment gateway fees. Pro at $150 a month lowers those fees to between 1.75% and 2% and adds advanced form customization, receipt white-labeling, Zapier and API access, and crypto and stock donations. For in-person giving there is a Live Kiosk plan from $80 a month for the first device. Donorbox does not build your website, so it ranks below the builders, but it is a strong partner for a Weebly, Webflow or Squarespace site.

    Strengths

    • +No monthly fee on Standard
    • +Forms work on any website builder through copy-paste code or a pop-up
    • +Pro adds crypto and stock donations, Zapier and an API

    Drawbacks

    • −Not a website builder: you need a site to host the form
    • −Standard platform fees of 2.95% to 3.95% come before Stripe or PayPal fees
    • −Pro costs $150 a month, so it only pays off at higher volumes

    Price

    From $66 per month for 100 contacts billed monthly; $59.40 per month with a 1-year prepay

    Quoted from the WildApricot pricing page on November 11, 2026: 100 Contacts Monthly Billing $66.00/mo

    WildApricot is membership software first, with a website builder included, which makes it a good match for clubs, chapters and charities that sell memberships and run events. The drag-and-drop editor uses gadgets to add registration forms, blogs, calendars and maps, and pages can be restricted to members by level or group. Donations are handled on the site itself with custom forms and fundraising thermometers, and every payment is recorded in the same database as members and event registrations. Events support custom registration forms and early bird or members-only pricing, and the email and text tools send reminders for events, renewals and donations. Pricing is by contact count: $66 a month for 100 contacts on monthly billing, or $59.40 a month with a one-year prepay. The 60-day trial is the longest here. Charities without members will pay for features they do not use.

    Strengths

    • +Website, member database, events and donations share one database
    • +60-day free trial with no credit card required
    • +Onboarding coaches included at no extra cost

    Drawbacks

    • −Priced by contact count, so cost grows with the database
    • −Built around memberships, which a donation-only charity may not need
    • −Themes are less design-led than Squarespace or Webflow

    Free plan; Personal $13 per month billed annually ($16 month-to-month)

    Quoted from the Weebly pricing page on November 11, 2026: Personal Connect to a custom domain $13 /mo billed annually or $16 month-to-month

    Weebly is the simplest builder on the list and still has a free plan. Its features page lists custom forms for contact, RSVP lists and surveys, which covers volunteer sign-ups and event RSVPs for a small group. Every plan, including Free, allows third-party embed code, so a donation form from Givebutter or Donorbox drops in easily. We did not find a dedicated donation feature on Weebly's pricing or features pages, which is the main reason it ranks low for nonprofits. Personal costs $13 a month billed annually ($16 month-to-month) and connects a custom domain, but Square ads are only removed on Professional at $15 a month billed annually. Performance at $32 adds growth and operations features for groups that sell merchandise. Pick Weebly for a small, simple site and pair it with an embedded donation tool.

    Strengths

    • +Free plan and a $13 Personal plan
    • +Forms handle volunteer RSVPs and surveys
    • +Embed code lets you add a Givebutter or Donorbox form

    Drawbacks

    • −No dedicated donation feature listed on the pricing or features pages

    Price

    Free Starter plan; Basic $15 per month billed yearly; Premium $25 per month billed yearly, 50% off for 12 months for eligible nonprofits

    Quoted from the Webflow pricing page on November 11, 2026: Basic For simple sites that don't need a CMS. $ 15 /mo billed yearly

    Webflow is the most flexible design tool on this list and the only one that publishes a nonprofit discount. Its help center states that eligible organizations get 50% off a new annual Premium Site plan for 12 months after submitting proof such as an IRS determination letter or a charity registration certificate, with a decision within one business day. Premium lists at $25 a month billed yearly and includes the Webflow CMS, which suits charities that publish stories and program pages. Basic at $15 a month billed yearly has 300 static pages and unlimited form submissions, enough for volunteer sign-up forms. The free Starter plan publishes to a webflow.io address with 50 form submissions. We did not find a built-in donation feature on the pricing page, so most nonprofits embed Givebutter or Donorbox. The discount does not apply to existing plans, add-ons or Ecommerce plans, and the editor takes longer to learn than the drag-and-drop builders above.

    Strengths

    • +The only builder here with a published nonprofit discount
    • +Unlimited form submissions from Basic, useful for volunteer sign-ups
    • +Full visual control over layout and design

    Drawbacks

    • −Steeper learning curve than Wix or Squarespace
    • −Our check of the pricing page found no built-in donation feature, so you embed one
    • −The discount covers Premium only, for 12 months, on new plans

What to check before you buy

Check which plan actually takes donations

Entry plans often cannot collect money. Wix needs a plan that supports payments (Core at $29 a month billed yearly), and WordPress.com donations start on Premium at $8 a month billed yearly. Compare the plan that takes donations, not the headline price.

Add up platform and payment fees

Fees on each gift can matter more than the subscription. WordPress.com charges 4% on Premium and 0% on Commerce, Donorbox charges 2.95% to 3.95% on its free plan, and Givebutter charges 0% when donor tips are on and 3% when they are off, before card processing.

Plan for volunteer sign-ups

Most builders handle volunteer sign-ups with forms rather than a dedicated module. Weebly forms cover RSVP lists and surveys, Webflow allows unlimited form submissions from Basic, Morweb's Grow plan adds a form builder, and WildApricot uses registration gadgets tied to its member database.

Ask for nonprofit pricing

Of the builders here, Webflow publishes a nonprofit discount: 50% off a new annual Premium Site plan for 12 months with proof of status. Givebutter and Donorbox have free plans built for nonprofits, and Morweb and WildApricot price their plans for nonprofits and associations from the start.

Mix a builder with a donation tool

You do not have to pick one product. Givebutter widgets work on Wix and WordPress, and Donorbox forms paste into any site or open as a pop-up. A builder for the site plus a free donation tool is often cheaper than upgrading for payments.

Common questions

What is the best website builder for a nonprofit?
Wix is the best website builder for most nonprofits because its free Wix Donations app runs one-time and recurring donation campaigns on any site with a payments plan, from Core at $29 a month billed yearly. Squarespace is the best alternative for design-led sites with donor management and email, and Givebutter is the best free donation tool.
What is the best free website builder for a nonprofit?
Wix, WordPress.com, Weebly and Webflow all have free plans, but none of them take donations on the free tier. The usual free setup is a free site plus Givebutter, whose donation forms are free with a 0% platform fee when donor tips are on, or Donorbox's free Standard plan.
Which website builders offer a nonprofit discount?
Webflow publishes one: eligible nonprofits get 50% off a new annual Premium Site plan for 12 months. Webflow asks for proof such as an IRS determination letter or a charity registration certificate and decides within one business day.
How can a nonprofit website accept donations?
Use a builder with donation tools, such as Wix Donations, Squarespace donation pages or the WordPress.com Donations Form block on Premium or higher. Any builder that allows embed code can also host a Givebutter or Donorbox form.
How do I add volunteer sign-ups to a nonprofit website?
Use the builder's form tool. Weebly forms cover RSVP lists and surveys, Webflow has unlimited form submissions from the $15 Basic plan, Squarespace offers custom forms, and Morweb adds a form builder module on its $199 Grow plan.
How much does a nonprofit website cost?
A nonprofit website that takes donations costs from about $8 a month on WordPress.com Premium billed yearly, $29 a month on Wix Core billed yearly, or nothing extra with Givebutter added to a free site. Managed platforms cost more: Morweb starts at $149 a month plus a setup fee, and WildApricot at $66 a month for 100 contacts.
