The Build Beautiful Nonprofit Marketing Grant is an in-kind grant that gives qualifying nonprofits our full Flourish platform at no cost. Need a website too? We'll build that on Build Beautiful as well.

Your donor list lives in one place. Volunteer sign-ups live in another. The newsletter tool doesn't talk to the website, event RSVPs come in by email, and the one person who understands how it all fits together is also running the food drive this weekend.
That isn't a people problem. It's a plumbing problem. And it quietly costs you donors, volunteers, and follow-up you meant to do.
Build Beautiful puts your website, contacts, email, texting, calendar, forms, and follow-up in one place, so a new donor or volunteer doesn't disappear between tools. Through this in-kind grant, we sponsor the technology behind nonprofits doing good work, at no cost, for as long as you're using it and remain eligible.
Website grants are limited each month by our team's capacity. Before we start building, you'll provide your website copy, photographs, and the other details we need.
You're a good fit if:
This probably isn't for you if you're happy with your current systems and they talk to each other. (If that's you, honestly, congratulations. Tell us your secret.)
The Flourish subscription is free, including its standard monthly email and messaging allowance. Some features cost us real money every time they're used, so those are billed to you at standard rates: messaging beyond your included credits, AI usage, prospecting, a custom branded app of your own (billed directly by our platform provider), WordPress hosting ($15/month), and any future add-on with a similar cost. Your domain name is yours to own and pay for. You'll always know before you turn on anything that costs money.
There's no end date. It continues as long as your organization remains an eligible nonprofit, keeps the account active, and follows our terms. Once a year, we'll ask you to confirm you're still a nonprofit in good standing. If we ever change the program, we'll give at least 30 days' notice.
No. Track 1 works alongside your existing website. We'll help you decide what's worth moving and what can stay.
Not at all. You need someone willing to learn, not someone who writes code. Onboarding covers the essentials.
No. It's an in-kind grant of software and services, and no money changes hands. Think of it as Build Beautiful sponsoring the technology behind your mission.
Pages, forms, surveys, payment connection, and calendar connection, all tied into your contact list and follow-up. It doesn't include building online courses. The course tools are in your account if you want to build one yourself, and we can build it for you as a paid project.
Your copy, your photographs, and the details we ask for during onboarding, all before the build starts. Real words and real photos of your work make a much better site than anything we could invent, and having everything up front is what keeps the build on schedule.
We only take on as many website builds as our team can do well. If we're at capacity, you'll go on the waitlist and we'll reach out when a spot opens. You don't need to reapply.
No. The grant covers the platform (and the website, for Track 2). If you'd like help running Google Ads, social media, or campaigns, we offer those as paid services.
Yes. If you outgrow Flourish, you can move to Radiate at standard pricing.
We'll tell you either way, and point you to free resources. You're welcome to reapply in 6 months.
