If you have already received approval from your board of directors, set a budget, and acquired grant funding for a new website, it is now time to send out a request for proposal, or RFP.
A website RFP is sent out by your organization to dozens of web design agencies in order to determine the best agency suited to meet your website needs. It also gives the website company a chance to understand your project better.
In this blog, we strip away all of the fluff of writing a grant proposal, and the simple guideline outlined below will help you craft persuasive and compelling grant proposals.
Finding a grant can be a great way to cover the costs associated with designing a website for your nonprofit. But the world of grant seeking can seem like a difficult space to get started in.
To make your grant search for a website easier, we have included a quick and simple way to find potential grant funders and lengthen your list of options when the time comes to start applying.

It is my strong belief that the Internet is the fastest moving industry humankind has ever experienced. That's why it's so important to regularly update your website. This blog post is the introduction to our new series on the 5 steps of redesigning your nonprofit website.

In this post, we've used these latest trends to make our picks for 10 Of The Best Association Website Designs of 2016.
