Groundwork Non-Profit

A warm, hand-drawn non-profit website for a charity that helps families start small businesses — built to win applicants, volunteers and donors.

About this template

A bold, friendly non-profit website in cream, forest green and marigold, with sticker-style cards, a serif headline font and hand-written notes. In the hero, a little shop builds itself: the awning unrolls, the OPEN sign flips, a plant grows and a first-sale receipt prints out, surrounded by milestone chips. Hand-drawn circles and underlines draw themselves around key words. Includes a business-type marquee, counting impact stats, a winding Learn → Plan → Launch → Grow path that draws as you scroll, program cards, founder stories, an animated “where your dollar goes” donut and an interactive donation picker (monthly or one-time, preset or custom amount, with a live impact line). Pages for Programs, Impact, Apply (Launch Lab application form), Get Involved (mentor/volunteer/partner form and events), Donate and About.
