Civic non-profit
Look Ahead America
Civic non-profit site with donations.
Overview
Look Ahead America is a non-profit that works to register, educate and turn out voters and to organize citizens in lobbying state and local governments. Its website carries the organization's mission, leadership, news, projects, podcast episodes and volunteer sign-up, with donations as the main call to action.
The site runs on WordPress with a Twenty Seventeen child theme that has its own front-page layout and styling. Donations use a multi-step Gravity Forms flow, from amount to donor details to card payment through Stripe, with an option to make the gift monthly. Email updates are collected through a Sendy signup form.
