Calgary non-profit websites that earn their keep in donations, grants and volunteers.
A grant officer opens your website before they open your application. A donor decides on a phone at 11pm on December 31, with the receipting deadline hours away. And a casino date lands in your lap with shifts to fill and a volunteer list that lives in one person's inbox. A good site does all three jobs quietly. Most Calgary non-profit sites were built by a volunteer who has since moved on, and do none of them.
Based in Calgary. We can meet you at your shop — not a call centre three time zones away.
The problem
Donating takes four clicks and ends on a page that doesn't look like you. Your financials are a PDF nobody can find. Your volunteer callout is a Facebook post from March. And the newest thing on the site is a 2022 annual report.
Our approach
One clear site where giving takes thirty seconds on a phone, volunteers sign up without emailing anyone, and a funder can find your registration number, your board and your financials in under a minute — built for a budget that has to answer to a board.
Why Calgary is different
A non-profit & charity website in Calgary has a different job to do.
Casino volunteers are a real deadline
AGLC charitable gaming is how a lot of Calgary organisations fund their year, and eligible groups staff their own casino event with their own volunteers — with paperwork that has to be in well before the date. Most groups fill those shifts with a group email and a spreadsheet. A live volunteer page with the dates, the shifts and the requirements on it is a small piece of software that saves someone their evenings.
Funders read your site before your file
Calgary Foundation, the City's community grant streams, United Way, corporate giving committees — the first thing anyone does is look you up. If your charitable registration number, board list, program descriptions and most recent financials aren't findable in a minute, you're being assessed on a bad impression before a human reads a word you wrote.
December is dated, not gradual
Giving Tuesday, then the last week of the year, and then a hard stop: December 31 is the CRA receipting cut-off, and a lot of Canadians give right up against it. If your donation flow is slow, or breaks on a phone, or can't issue a receipt, that's not a small usability problem. That's the whole quarter.
What you get
Built specifically for Calgary non-profits, charities & community groups.
Donations that work on a phone, at midnight
Stripe direct, CanadaHelps, Donorbox or Givebutter — one-time, monthly, in memoriam — with tax receipting handled and a checkout that doesn't dump someone on a page that looks nothing like your site.
A volunteer page you can point a casino at
Dates, shifts, what's required, and a signup form that routes to your coordinator instead of one board member's personal inbox. Works just as well for a gala, a cleanup, or a food drive.
The grant-officer page
Registration number, board and leadership, program pages, annual reports and financials — all in one place, all one click from the homepage. It's the least glamorous page on the site and it changes how seriously you're read.
Impact you can actually stand behind
Your real numbers and your real photos, presented properly. We'll never invent a statistic to fill a page — for a charity that's not just dishonest, it's a risk to your standing. Honest and specific beats impressive and vague, with funders especially.

Launch is $697 and Growth is $1,397, and CRA-registered charities get 15% off both — send us your registration number and we'll apply it to the quote. Growth is the usual pick because it covers the donation flow, the volunteer signup and the transparency pages. The 14-day money-back guarantee and 12-month warranty apply either way, and there's no lock-in contract to take to your board.
Yes, and it's one of the more useful things we can build for a Calgary organisation. A page with your casino dates, the shifts, what each role involves and what AGLC requires from a volunteer, plus a signup form that lands with your coordinator. It won't do the recruiting for you, but it turns a spreadsheet-and-reply-all scramble into a link you can send.
Not directly — nobody funds you because of a website. But funders in this city look you up before they read your file, and a site that's current, clear and transparent removes a reason to say no. We structure it so a grant officer can confirm you're real, see what you do, and find your financials without emailing you. That's worth something on every application you'll ever file.
That's the point. News, programs, board members, annual reports, volunteer dates — all editable by a non-technical volunteer without calling us. We build assuming the person maintaining it in two years hasn't met us and doesn't want to learn anything new.
Not at all — CanadaHelps is the simplest tax-receipt path for a lot of Canadian charities and we'll wire it in cleanly. If you're running monthly giving at any real volume, Stripe with a checkout styled to match your site usually costs less in fees and loses fewer people mid-donation. We'll lay out both honestly and you can decide.
