Best Free Website Builder for Nonprofits
Direct answer: Google Sites is the strongest fit for a small volunteer-run nonprofit needing a simple informational page with zero ongoing cost, while Wix or WordPress.com suit nonprofits that need a donation page, blog, and event calendar together.
Small, Volunteer-Run Organizations
For a community group or small nonprofit run entirely by volunteers, Google Sites' simplicity, Google Workspace integration, and zero forced ads make it an easy, low-maintenance starting point.
Nonprofits That Need Donations and Events
Larger nonprofits typically need a donation button, event calendar, and regular blog updates for supporters — features better covered by Wix or WordPress.com's free tiers, both of which support broader app and plugin ecosystems as the organization grows.
A Note on Nonprofit Discounts
Several paid website builders and Google Workspace itself offer nonprofit discount programs that go beyond the standard free tier — worth researching once a free-tier limit is reached.
