WordPress has become very advanced platform for creating various types of websites. There has been a lot non-profit businesses using it as well. Lots of templates have been improved and adjusted for charity websites needs and became low cost solution.

Most of the non-profit, NGO, charity or funding websites share the same needs, such as, secured donation system, paypal integration, events organization, donators profiles. etc. I've created collection of best charity wordpress themes from different marketplaces with all these features included. I have 5+ years experience with wordpress and this charity themes in this collection are tested and selected according the best criteria. All these templates are premium what means that you get free updates, detailed online documentation and dedicated support forum access.
