Across all industries, you can find people who want to do some good and give back. One such way is by hosting a hackathon. Nonprofit hackathons bring together skilled volunteers who donate their time and resources to work towards a common goal. Typically, the scope of a nonprofit hackathon varies.
Introducing the Give-Back-a-Thon
The Give-Back-A-Thon is focused on building brand-new websites for three lucky nonprofit organizations.
Your website is arguably the most critical tool your nonprofit has to collect donations: it’s where you collect donations, tell your story, and visually represent your identity and your mission. We want to give three lucky nonprofit organizations the chance to win a new website that doesn’t just meet their needs – it exceeds them.
Register to Win
We’ve made it really simple to register and win. Just fill out the form!
While more terms and conditions apply, it’s important to remember that entries are limited to registered nonprofit organizations in the US or the UK with an EIN or a charity registration number.
3 Nonprofits Will Win New Websites
We’ve partnered with a slew of WordPress brands and agencies, to offer three Grand Prizes – complete websites for three stellar nonprofits. The best part? It could be YOUR website!
Selected nonprofits will work with one of our agency partners to have a website built for their nonprofit organization.
The site will include free Managed WordPress hosting from Nexcess and will be built with GiveWP, KadenceWP, Kadence Blocks, iThemes Security, and other necessary StellarWP products. The new site will also include licensing for products like Yoast, BerthaAI, and WS Forms.
What You Could Win
Thanks to our stellar sponsors, there are multiple prize tiers available.
- Three (3) Grand Prizes: A FREE brand new website for their organization.
- Five (5) Runner-Ups: Free GiveWP Pro plan.
- Ten (10) Finalists: 50% off any GiveWP plan.
- Everyone else: Anyone that signs up will receive 25% off any GiveWP plan.
Sounds like a win-win-win-win to me!
