To close out the year, GroClix is selecting one nonprofit to receive a free starter website design and build, plus a feature blog post highlighting their work and a 30-minute marketing strategy call to help turn online attention into real support.
The design and build are completely free — the nonprofit will only be responsible for the monthly hosting/maintenance once the site is live.
“As GroClix has grown, I’ve met so many mission-driven people who are doing incredible work with almost no digital support,” said
Nick Desrocher, Founder of GroClix. “This is my way of using the skills we have to give one nonprofit a stronger online foundation going into 2026.”
GroClix works with small businesses and local organizations that care deeply about their communities. Again and again, the same pattern shows up: nonprofits are doing incredible work with limited resources, and “fix the website” or “update our digital presence” keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the list.
A strong, trustworthy website isn’t just “nice to have” anymore. It can:
- Make it easier for people to understand what you do
- Help donors feel confident and comfortable giving
- Give volunteers and partners a clear place to learn how to get involved
“I grew GroClix by working closely with local organizations,” Nick explained. “I see firsthand how much they care, and how often their website is the thing holding them back. If we can remove that barrier for even one group, that’s worth it.”
This initiative is GroClix’s way of using what the team does best—websites, words, and strategy—to reward one nonprofit for all of the hard work they do and give them a stronger foundation heading into the new year.
What comes with the offer?
1. Free Nonprofit Starter Website - GroClix will design and build a “starter” site on a modern, easy-to-manage platform. It will include:
- A clear hero section that explains who you are and who you help
- Your mission and story in plain language
- Space to highlight your programs, services, or key initiatives
- Simple ways to get involved: donate, volunteer, or contact you
- Mobile-friendly design so it looks good on phones and desktops
- Basic on-page SEO (titles, headings, meta descriptions, structure)
The design and build are completely free. After launch, the nonprofit will just cover the standard monthly hosting/maintenance fee like any other client website.
2. Feature Blog Post About Your Organization
GroClix will also create a spotlight blog post on the GroClix site that:
- Shares your story, mission, and impact
- Highlights the people you serve or the problem you’re solving
- Links directly to your website, donation page, and/or volunteer form
This feature will be shared across GroClix channels so more people can discover your work and have an easy way to support you.
3. 30-Minute Marketing Strategy Call
Once the site is in motion, GroClix will host a 30-minute strategy call focused on practical, nonprofit-specific marketing.
On this call, the team can:
- Review your current online presence (website, social, search)
- Talk about how to drive more people to your site and donation page
- Outline a simple, realistic plan you can actually follow with your existing resources
You’ll leave with a few concrete next steps—not a giant to-do list that never gets used.
“As much as this is about the website, it’s also about giving you a few clear moves you can make right away,” Nick said. “I don’t want this to feel like another overwhelming project. I want it to feel like momentum.”
Who should apply?
This offer is for nonprofits that:
- Have a clear mission and active programs
- Either have no website or a site that’s clearly outdated or not doing its job
- Are willing to collaborate, share information, and respond to emails so the project can move smoothly
- Want to use their website as a real tool for donations, volunteers, and awareness—not just an online brochure
GroClix is especially excited to hear from organizations serving local communities, youth, mental health, wellness, or other mission-driven causes—but all nonprofits are welcome to apply.
How the process will work
- Apply using the form at the bottom of this blog post
Click the “Apply Now” button on this page and share information about your organization, your mission, and why you need a new website. The form should take under 1 minute. - Applications close on December 14 at 11:59pm
After the deadline, GroClix will review all submissions and select one nonprofit for the full starter website package. - GroClix will announce the selected nonprofit
The chosen organization will be contacted directly, and the announcement will be shared on GroClix channels. - Kickoff and project timeline
GroClix will schedule a quick kickoff call, gather what’s needed (logo, photos, copy, etc.), and get to work on the starter site. The goal is to have the new website and blog feature live early in the new year.
A quick note for nonprofits who aren’t selected
If you apply and aren’t the one nonprofit selected for the full website package, you won’t be ignored.
Depending on how many applications come in, GroClix may:
- Offer discounted rates on similar starter sites, or
- Invite a limited number of nonprofits to a short marketing checkup call with some quick-win recommendations
Either way, applying gets your organization on the GroClix radar, and the team will do its best to offer something helpful where possible.

“As a founder, this is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time,” Nick said. “Nonprofits give so much to everyone else. This is one small way for us to give something meaningful back.”
