WordPress Is Flexible
Along the same line of WordPress being easy to use, it’s also easy to extend and customize thanks to the huge variety of themes and plugins available for the platform. There is a solution for almost anything your charity or nonprofit might need, including features to:

Accept donations with a free plugin like PayPal Donations, or by using features built into your WordPress theme (for example, with Total you can add donate buttons to your pricing tables by pasting in your Paypal donation link)
Create mailing lists and add newsletter subscription forms to your website with free plugins for popular services like MailChimp and MailPoet
Build a store to sell sustainable goods, to fundraise for an upcoming Country Email List mission trip or to offer free downloads to your readers using the free WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads plugins
