How to Create a Better “Get Involved” Page for Your Nonprofit Website

Website design by Tingalls Graphic Design for a non-profitAt Tingalls, we work with a lot of nonprofits, and one of the most overlooked areas on a website is the Get Involved page. Too often, all you see is a simple “donate” but the truth is, there are so many ways people can support your mission beyond writing a check. By listing a variety of options, you open the door to deeper engagement from volunteers, businesses, and community advocates alike.

Here are 20 ideas you can include to make your “Get Involved” page more dynamic, inspiring, and action-packed:

  1. Volunteer Your Time
    Break it down by role or time commitment—event help, admin support, outreach, etc.—so people can see where they fit in.
  1. Sign Up for Your Newsletter
    Make it easy to stay informed with updates, stories, and upcoming opportunities.
  1. Promote on Social Media
    Encourage followers to like, comment, and share your posts. Add direct links to your active platforms.
  1. Offer Professional In-Kind Services
    Call out specific needs—graphic design, accounting, grant writing, legal support—whatever fits your gaps.
  1. Join a Committee or Apply for the Board
    Let visitors know how they can get involved in leadership or advisory roles. Include time expectations and impact.
  1. Host a Fundraiser
    Invite individuals or businesses to organize their own fundraisers (bake sales, birthday fundraisers, workplace events, etc.).
  1. Donate Supplies
    Share a list of needed items like hygiene kits, office supplies, or school supplies. Link to an Amazon wish list if you have one.
  1. Organize a Donation Drive
    Offer tools and a checklist for hosting a drive at school, work, or in the neighborhood.
  1. Offer Space
    If your nonprofit needs meeting space, storage, or event space, ask visitors to help fill the gap.
  1. Provide Internship or Mentorship Opportunities
    Great for organizations working with youth or job-readiness programs.
  1. Sponsor an Event
    Create sponsorship tiers and downloadable packets to make it easy for businesses to support your events.
  1. Start a Birthday Fundraiser
    Suggest platforms like Facebook where supporters can dedicate their birthday to your cause.
  1. Share in a Blog or Newsletter
    Ask businesses to feature your organization in their content or internal communications.
  1. Promote Employee Volunteer Days
    Encourage companies to offer paid time off for volunteering and recognize their efforts.
  1. Match Donations or Volunteer Hours
    If you work with corporate partners, highlight the value of matching gift programs.
  1. Become an Advocate
    Let people take action by signing petitions, spreading awareness, or emailing elected officials.
  1. Enable Passive Giving
    Establish a “round up” campaign during checkout. Those extra cents can add up!
  1. Follow and Tag You on Social
    Make it easy for followers to engage with your content and help spread the word.
  1. Donate to Auctions or Raffles
    List what kinds of in-kind donations you accept for fundraising events.
  1. Schedule a Tour or Coffee Chat
    Invite people to connect personally and learn about your mission up close.

Design Tip:
Use buttons or icons to break up the content visually and include quick links or forms to make each action easy to complete. The easier it is to get involved, the more likely someone will.
