Is your nonprofit website your most passionate volunteer, working 24/7 to share your mission and encourage donations? Or is it an accidental roadblock, turning interested visitors away?

Consider this: 85% of donors will visit a nonprofit’s website before giving, but 80% of those websites aren’t even mobile-friendly. And at the end of the day, if your website doesn’t work on mobile devices or loads so slowly that visitors turn elsewhere, you’ll miss out on important connections and donations.

The theme and plugins you use impact everything from your site’s performance and responsiveness to its ease of use and security. So, in this guide, we’ve identified some of the best WordPress themes for nonprofits, along with key plugins to empower your organization. You’ll find powerful options for every budget, from free community favorites to premium, feature-rich solutions.

Standing out on social media has become quite difficult. Most platforms are crowded with content, and the algorithms that determine your brand’s visibility are unpredictable at best. Digital ads are more expensive each year, and the future of organic search engine traffic is wildly uncertain.

That’s why more creators, brands, and publishers are turning to a channel they can control —  email newsletters. These allow you to reach your audience directly, without having to compete for space in social feeds or pay for impressions. 

The good news? If you use WordPress, launching your own newsletter is easier than you might think. With a plugin like Jetpack, you can automatically send new posts to your subscribers and even create a paid newsletter to generate income from your hard-earned followers.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about creating an email newsletter on WordPress — from setup and strategy to advanced tips for monetization and growth.

To that end, this guide covers the main methods for editing the header so you can follow the approach that best fits your workflow.
