5 Impressive WordPress Themes for Non-Profits and Charities

Non-profits and charities need to have well-designed websites with functionalities that allow them to interface with the public, raise awareness and issues and causes, and organize events. Websites for these kinds of organizations require features like surveys, sign up forms, fundraising modules, calendars and invitations.
