I founded an organization, now i need advice?

I started a non-profit organization that deals with humanitarian aid in Africa. I would like to make a website that not only shows the objectives of the organization but also things like the tactics and etc. I need to do this so we can get funding/recognition. Please can anyone tell me what i need to include in the website or show me some outline on how to present the organization-organizations goals/tactics- to outsiders?





Thank you in advance..

Take a look at what other non-profit orgs have on their websites. ;)





While a lot of non-profits don't have money to spend on professional help for their websites (and quite often, it shows...!), you may see some patterns as to what information is typically shown on most sites, and you may even see some well-written info that you can use as inspiration. You may also find some sections you wouldn't have thought of but may be very applicable to you.





It's also a great opportunity to be a critic of their sites, and analyse what does and doesn't work for you, as an outsider reading their site. How intuitive is the site structure / navigation? Does the information explain what they do adequately? And does the site actually tell you where they are located? That's one of the big things I find lacking in a lot of sites - they assume everyone knows where they are.





Whatever you do though, don't plagiarise any info. Use it as a base, but don't use any of it word for word.I founded an organization, now i need advice?
Quick rule of thumb for yourself and the onganization; communicate who, what, when, where, why, and how the organization does (what) things.
Hmmm this sounds funny to me because you practically answered your own question of what you need to present to the public.





Nobody just founds an org. without funding first. Even if your non profit which requires some schooling or the help of a lawyer. If you really have gotten that far it means you have a business plan already drawn out to attract support and gain financial backing.





If you really need this type of advice you have jumped in over your head. I urge you to get some schooling or a lawyers help. Good luck to you.
well you can put your organisation on www.onlinevolunteering.org


this website works with the UN and specialist for someone also who started an organisation for humanitarian aid.They also can advise you in thise topics.Me myself im in that organisation and a member of UN .So good luck and all the best for you :)
