Free Website Builder for Non-Profits
Our Mission: Empowering Those Who Empower Others
At UltimateWB, we believe that a limited budget shouldn't mean a limited impact. Non-profits are the backbone of our communities, tackling the world’s toughest challenges with passion and grit. We believe in paying it forward, so we provide our website builder software for free - including all future updates - for non-profits. We do this so that more of your funds can stay where they are needed most, directly supporting your mission and the communities you serve.
We are proud to offer this software grant to registered non-profit organizations. Whether you are feeding the hungry, rescuing animals, protecting the environment, or educating the next generation, we want to provide the digital tools you need to share your story, raise money for good causes, and gather support.
Your Choice: Host with Us or Anywhere Else
Most "free" builders lock you into their ecosystem with high monthly fees. We do things differently. When you receive an UltimateWB Non-Profit Grant, you own your choice of hosting:
- Host with UltimateWB: Experience seamless integration and high-performance speeds. You simply pay the standard hosting costs to keep your site live on our secure servers - the professional software suite is on us.
- Host Anywhere You Choose: If you already have a preferred server or a donated hosting plan elsewhere, you can still use our builder. We believe in true software ownership, giving you the freedom to move and grow without being "tethered" to a single provider.
Eligibility & Global Reach
To ensure these resources go to legitimate organizations, we require proof of official non-profit status.
In the United States
You must be a registered 501(c)(3) organization. This is the IRS designation for religious, charitable, scientific, or educational groups that are tax-exempt. You will be asked to provide your Determination Letter during the application process.
International Non-Profits (Outside the USA)
We support global change! If your organization is based outside the United States, we welcome your application. You must provide equivalent documentation from your local government proving your status as a:
- Registered Charity (e.g., UK, Canada, Australia)
- NGO (Non-Governmental Organization)
- Non-Profit Corporation or Social Enterprise with tax-exempt status in your home country.
Why Choose UltimateWB for Your Non-Profit Website?
In a market full of "subscription-only" builders, UltimateWB stands out by offering you a full, permanent software license, with professional-grade tools and total transparency. And when you choose UltimateWB, you aren't just getting a free license - you’re getting a platform built for performance.
- Unmatched Flexibility: Get access to the same powerful tools used by major corporations. From advanced directories to custom forms, you have everything you need to grow.

- True Hosting Choice: Unlike Squarespace or Wix, we don't lock you in. You choose where your data lives.
How the Competition Compares on Fees
Many popular builders charge "platform" or "transaction" fees on top of what credit card companies already charge. For a non-profit, these extra fees can significantly eat into your fundraising totals.
- Squarespace: Charges a 3% transaction fee on donations unless you pay for their most expensive plans.
- Shopify: Often adds a 1% to 2% fee if you don't use their proprietary payment system.
- Donorbox/Plugins: Often used with other builders, these can add another 1.5% platform fee on every gift.
| Feature | Competitors (Squarespace/Others) | UltimateWB |
|---|---|---|
| Software Cost | Monthly Subscription | Free Software Grant |
| Platform Fee | 1.5% – 3% Extra | 0% |
| Transaction Fees | Card Fees + Platform Fees | Card Fees Only |
By using UltimateWB, the only fees you ever pay are the standard ones charged by your payment processor (like PayPal or Stripe). We never take a "cut" of the money you are raising for your mission.
The "Fundraiser" Twist: Turn Your Software into Revenue
We don't just want to save you money; we want to help you raise it. Through our ongoing Non-Profit Fundraising program, your website becomes a revenue stream.
When you receive your Free Software Grant, we also provide you with a unique coupon code to share with your supporters and local business partners. If they purchase UltimateWB software for their own business using your code, we donate 20% of the net proceeds back to your organization. It’s a simple way for your community to support you while getting the same high-quality tools you use.

Non-Profit Grant FAQ
Common Questions About the Grant
Is the website builder really free?
Yes. We provide a full license for the UltimateWB Website Builder software - choose the version - and all future software updates at no cost to verified organizations. There are no hidden feature locks for non-profits; you get the full power of our platform that you choose.
What costs will I have to pay?
While we waive the software licensing fees, you are responsible for the "hard costs" of running a website. This includes your domain name registration (e.g., your-charity.org) and your monthly web hosting fees, whether you host with UltimateWB or another provider of your choice.
Does UltimateWB take a percentage of my donations?
Absolutely not. Unlike many other website builders, we do not charge transaction fees on the money you raise. 100% of your donations (minus what your payment processor like PayPal charges) goes directly to your mission.
Can I use this for a personal project or a "for-profit" side business?
No. This grant is strictly for registered non-profit organizations, charities, and NGOs. We verify every application to ensure the software is being used to support a legitimate cause.
How long does the verification process take?
Once you submit your documentation (such as your 501(c)(3) letter), our team usually reviews and approves applications within 2–3 business days. Once approved, you'll receive your software and license files immediately.
What happens if I need help building my site?
If you are hosting with UltimateWB, we can provide the same free hands-on tech support as the commercial use clients. Additionally, you will have full access to our knowledge base and online user manual. For custom design services, or specialized development, these are available as optional paid add-ons to help your organization grow.
