Free Website for Non-Profits
Create a free WordPress home for a mission, project, charity, or volunteer group before committing budget to a domain.
Who this page is for
For organizations that need clear pages, updates, forms, and ownership without a paid hosting upsell.
What you can do first
- Publish mission, contact, volunteer, and update pages.
- Use WordPress so the content can grow with the organization.
- Choose a paid domain later if it helps trust, print materials, or outreach.
Free hosting first, optional domain later
MyGratis keeps the first step simple: create a free WordPress site, use a free MyGratis address while the idea is still forming, and only pay for a domain if a custom name helps the site. There is no paid hosting upsell in this flow.
The site remains WordPress, so you can keep using familiar pages, posts, themes, plugins, and export tools instead of rebuilding from scratch on a closed system.

Why free changes the decision
Most website decisions get harder when the first step asks for a paid plan. MyGratis removes that pressure. You can publish the basic version, see whether the idea earns attention, and then decide whether a domain name is worth the annual cost.
This helps side projects, community pages, portfolios, service businesses, churches, non-profits, and early store ideas get online before the budget conversation starts. The free address works while you are still learning what the site needs to become.
What is included on a free MyGratis site
- A hosted WordPress site on a free MyGratis subdomain.
- Starter templates for common site types.
- Access to WordPress pages, posts, media, themes, and curated tools.
- SSL for supported MyGratis and mapped domains.
- The option to register, transfer, or connect a paid custom domain later.
Questions people ask before starting
Is the hosting really free?
Yes. The starter hosting path is free. Domains are paid because registries charge recurring fees for domain names, but buying a domain is optional.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No credit card is required for the free site path. Payment is only needed if you choose a paid domain-related action.
Can I move later?
The site runs on WordPress, so standard WordPress export and migration paths remain available when your needs change.
