Is a website really a grant requirement?

It depends on the funder, but increasingly yes. Many foundation and government grant applications now include website URL fields, and program officers regularly check sites during due diligence review.

What documentation do you provide with a grant-ready build?

Every build ships with a WCAG 2.1 AA compliance statement, accessibility testing records, uptime and hosting documentation, a published accessibility statement, and a handoff package you can reference directly in grant applications.

Do you help with donor trust too?

Yes. Donor trust and funder trust live on the same page: transparency, professionalism, accessibility, and clear impact storytelling.

Can we build this on a budget?

Our Seed package starts at $1,500 and includes the core grant-ready elements. Grow and Flourish packages add Sanity CMS, custom design, and additional transparency features.

How long does a grant-ready site take to build?

Most grant-ready builds take 4 to 6 weeks from kickoff to launch. If you have a specific grant deadline, tell us during discovery and we will confirm the timeline before you sign anything.

What happens after launch? Does compliance expire?

Compliance is point-in-time. Our care plans include accessibility monitoring and monthly content reviews so your site stays compliant over time.

THE PROBLEM

What funders are actually checking

Grant applications used to be about the paperwork. Now they're about the paperwork and the Google search that happens 30 seconds after a program officer reads your executive summary. Funders want to see a professional website, a clear impact story, accessible forms, and technical documentation they can verify. A broken donation button on mobile is a red flag. An inaccessible site is a compliance concern. An outdated News page with your last post from 2019 is a signal that nobody's minding the store.

technical documentation

“A grant-ready website isn't about looking fancy. It's about giving funders the proof they need to say yes.”

What funders are

Grant applications increasingly request your website URL for due diligence review.

Reviewers use your site to verify legitimacy, impact, and organizational capacity.

Dated, broken, or inaccessible sites raise questions about your ability to steward funding.

Inconsistent branding between your application and your website creates friction.

Missing accessibility documentation disqualifies some federal and state grants outright.

No public impact reporting signals a lack of transparency funders now expect.

How we solve it.

Technical Credibility
Uptime, speed, and modern security that signal high-performing infrastructure. Every site ships with monitoring, automated backups, and SSL configured correctly. Funders see a site that loads fast and works on every device.
Transparency Hub
Dedicated areas for annual reports, 990s, board listings, financial statements, and measurable program impact. Structured so program officers can find what they need without asking you to email it.
Compliance Proof
Documentation of WCAG 2.1 AA conformance, accessibility statement published on your site, and a testing record you can reference directly in grant applications. Compliance isn't a promise, it's proof.
