Most small nonprofits don't have a graphic designer on staff. They have one person who's "good with PowerPoint" and a board that wants the next campaign to look professional anyway.

Canva for Nonprofits fills that gap. Qualifying organizations get all the features of Canva Pro for free: premium templates, stock images, a Brand Kit, and collaboration for up to 50 team members. For a team of five, that's around £500 of software a year at no cost.

Our new guide covers what's worth designing in Canva, how the free programme works and how to apply, plus the part most teams get wrong: keeping all those designs organized so volunteers and partners can actually find the latest version later.

Most WooCommerce stores default to a product grid. It looks good, but it isn't always the fastest way to buy.

For customers who know what they want, a list view lets them see more per page, compare specs side by side, and add items to the cart without clicking through individual product pages.

In this video, we walk through when a list view outperforms a grid, what kind of stores benefit most, and how to set one up in WooCommerce.

Not every store needs a list view — but if you sell technical produ...

Donor retention in the nonprofit sector averages around 45%. That means more than half of first-time donors never give a second time, which makes your existing donors the most reliable source of funding you have.

A thoughtful donor gift lifts that number, and the research is clear: acknowledgement and personalization matter far more than how much you spend. A donor who feels noticed gives again. One who gets a generic auto-receipt usually doesn't.

We cover 5 donor gift formats that work for small teams, from zero-cost digital downloads to free products tied to a donation threshold, plus the WordPress and WooCommerce setup that lets a small team run any of them without drowning in fulfilment admin.

A WooCommerce store with 1000+ products has a real UX problem. The default shop grid forces customers to paginate through dozens of pages or use filters that don't work well for large catalogs.

In this video, we show how one store solved it by putting every product on a single page using WooCommerce Product Table. Instant search, sortable columns, add-to-cart without leaving the page. The kind of setup that works for trade customers, distributors, and anyone who knows what they want and just needs to find it fast.

Most teams start by dropping files into a shared Google Drive folder, then hit a wall the moment the audience grows past their own staff.

Plenty of apps can store your files. Far fewer turn them into a clean, searchable library that the right people can find and the wrong people can't.

We compared 8 document library tools, from free cloud storage like Google Drive and Dropbox, to internal systems like SharePoint and M-Files, open-source options like OpenKM and DSpace, and purpose-built library software. Each has real pros, cons and pricing.

The right pick comes down to one question: do you want to publish files on your own branded site, or just share a cloud folder? Full comparison here:

Running a Shopify wholesale store without Plus has become more viable, but third-party apps still solve problems that native features don't.

If you need customer-group pricing, minimum order quantities, wholesale registration forms, or net payment terms beyond what Shopify natively offers, apps are still the right answer.

We've reviewed the best Shopify wholesale apps that work on any plan: Wholesale Gorilla, Wholesale Club, B2B Wholesale Customer Orders, and others. Each gets an honest rundown on what it does, what it doesn't, and which type of store it fits best.

For years, GiveWP was the donation plugin we'd put at the top of any list for WordPress nonprofits. That's changed. Both founders have left, and the standalone brand has been dissolved into Liquid Web, with an unclear roadmap.

So if you're choosing where to collect donations on WordPress in 2026, what should you actually use?

We compared the strongest options. Charitable is the most complete dedicated plugin, with a capable free version and no transaction fees. If you already run a WooCommerce store, Product Options lets donations sit alongside your sales. Paymattic includes recurring giving with no platform fee, and Donorbox offers a fully hosted route.

Full comparison, with real pros and cons for each:

When a board member, donor or partner agrees to share your campaign, whether they actually follow through usually comes down to one thing: whether you made it easy.

A nonprofit social media toolkit gives them everything in one place. Brand-approved logos in the right formats, images sized for each platform, pre-written posts they can copy and lightly edit, the campaign hashtag, and the FAQs they'll need when someone replies with a question.

This guide covers all seven sections a toolkit needs, how to host it as a searchable library on your WordPress site so supporters can self-serve without emailing the comms team, and three real public examples worth studying, including UNICEF USA's toolkit.

If your supporters have good intentions but never quite post, this is usually why.
