Funders check your website before your proposal

When a funder is weighing up your organisation, someone will look at your website before reading the proposal. For small and medium organisations it is often the first independent check anyone carries out, and it is read with more scepticism than you might think.

The things they look for are specific, and none of them is hard to supply:

  • Your registered name and number, exactly as they appear in the proposal documents.
  • Who leads the organisation: the board or trustees, named.
  • What you have achieved, described with dates and places instead of adjectives.
  • Annual reports and audited accounts that can be downloaded without having to ask.
  • A physical address, a phone line someone picks up, and email on your own domain rather than a free service.
  • Signs that you are active today. A site last updated three years ago looks dormant, whatever it claims.

No hosting feature delivers any of this. It is what the hosting is there to support, and it separates a site that strengthens an application from one that quietly weakens it.

Keeping your reports easy to reach

Reports end up linked in proposals, quoted by partners and bookmarked by funders, and sometimes nobody follows the link until years later. Two habits stop those links from breaking.

Give every report a fixed, descriptive address, for example /reports/annual-report-2026, and leave it unchanged. If you restructure the site later, redirect the old address to the new one instead of letting it fail. Funders notice when a link in your own proposal leads nowhere.

Keep file sizes reasonable. A photo-heavy annual report can reach 40MB without much effort, and plenty of readers will give up waiting for it. Exported properly, the same report is usually under 5MB and looks identical on screen.

Questions from NGOs

Every organisation pays the same standard prices. NGOs registered in Kenya (NGO Coordination Board / Public Benefits Organizations) are welcome to ask whether an annual partnership rate is available.

Yes, in a few ways. Donors paying by card from any country can use Visa or Mastercard, which we set up through a card payment gateway, while donors in Kenya will find M-Pesa Paybill simplest. You can also add a PayPal donate button if the organisation has a verified PayPal Business account in its own name. That arrangement is between you and PayPal, not SiteBoma.

Yes. Annual reports, audited accounts and impact stories can be uploaded to your hosting as PDFs. We suggest a dedicated /reports section so donors can review your record in public.

Yes. On WordPress, one plugin (Polylang or WPML) handles switching between languages such as English and Swahili, and it works on our shared hosting with no special server setup.

Mail on your own domain comes with every plan. If you have 15 or more staff, Google Workspace through our service is usually the better choice, giving your team Gmail, Drive and Meet on your domain.

Free SSL puts the HTTPS padlock on your site from the first day. After that, donors want a clear About and Board page, audited reports, genuine photos, contact details and a project gallery. If you have no designer, our Website Design service can build all of this.

Most NGOs and community groups choose .org, the extension people link with non profit organisations, and funders read it that way. The Kenyan equivalent is .or.ke. As a guide, .org is $11.53 to register and $13.46 a year to renew. If you would rather have a .com, that is fine as well: .com is $13.31 to register and $13.31 a year to renew.

Yes, and we would encourage you to publish them. They are normal files on your site, and every plan has space for them. Give each one a permanent web address so that links in older proposals still work, and keep the file sizes sensible so people on phones can open them.

Often they do, and usually before reading the proposal in detail. They check that the registered name and number match your documents, that the board is named, that there is recent activity, and that reports can be downloaded without a request. A site that is out of date does more harm than one that is simply small.

No. You can list your bank details, or an M-Pesa Paybill if you are in Kenya, with clear instructions for giving, which is what most organisations do. We host the page, but we do not process donations and no money passes through SiteBoma, so there is nothing additional for your auditor to reconcile.

Yes, and for an NGO this matters more than for most organisations, because an address on your own domain is something funders check without even thinking about it. You set up the mailboxes yourself in the control panel, and your plan decides how many you can have.

No, it is a decision about how the website is built, and any plan can handle it. Usually there is a second set of pages under a language prefix. Tell us what you need when you contact us and we will set out the options honestly, including when it is not worth doing.
