Our charitable giving programWebsites for Organizations That [ice]Give[/ice]
Charities and non-profits do incredible work, often with small budgets and volunteer teams. A strong website helps them raise awareness, recruit volunteers and bring in donations, but it’s usually the first thing cut from a tight budget.
That’s why, since 2016, CryoDragon has chosen one charity or non-profit every year or two to receive a free custom website from our team. We receive many applications, and while only one organization can be selected each round, every application tells us about another amazing cause in our community.
Not selected this time? Registered charities and non-profits always receive about 15% off our hourly services. See our discounts.

Why we giveWhy We Donate [ice]Websites[/ice]
Charities and non-profits are the backbone of strong communities, but they often operate with small budgets and volunteer teams. A professional website can transform how an organization raises awareness, recruits volunteers, communicates with the people it serves and attracts donations, yet it’s often out of reach.
Donating our time and skills is one of the most meaningful ways we can give back. Each donated website is designed and built with the same care as a paid project, and recipients receive training so their team can keep the website up to date.
ApplyingTips for a Strong [ice]Application[/ice]
We read every application carefully. Strong applications clearly explain your organization’s mission, who you serve, what difference a new website would make and how your team would keep it current after launch.
Tell us about your current website, if you have one, and the challenges it creates. Specific examples, such as volunteers you can’t recruit or donors who can’t find how to give, help us understand the impact. Organizations that aren’t selected can still benefit from our non-profit discount.
