Charity CMS

A CMS built for charities.

A content management system built for charities — not adapted for them.

A React-based charity CMS — a charity-built alternative to WordPress. Drag-and-drop page builder, Programs, Appeals & Campaigns, built-in donations and payment gateways, a donor portal and two-way sync with the iCHARMS donor CRM.

A CMS that speaks charity

iCharityCMS is our in-house content management system, built specifically for charities. It works the way a modern site builder should — drag-and-drop pages, no code — but the building blocks are the ones charities actually use: Programs, Projects, Appeals and Campaigns, with donations, Gift Aid and a donor portal built in, all managed from one dashboard.

General-purpose platforms can be bent to fit a charity, but you feel the seams — plugins for appeals, a donation add-on with its own fees, a membership plugin for donor logins, a developer on speed-dial. iCharityCMS has that functionality built in from the ground up, so your team manages real charity content and real donations instead of wrestling with a generic page editor.

The page builder

Build a page by dragging blocks.

Lay out and edit any page visually from the dashboard — no code. Beyond headings, images and grids, iCharityCMS ships the blocks charities actually need, plus database-driven blocks that pull your live content straight onto the page.

FAQ

Common questions.

Can iCharityCMS work with our existing website?
Yes. iCharityCMS is designed for seamless website integration, so you don't have to start from scratch. Organisations can connect their existing website quickly and start using the system with minimal setup, then manage Programs, Projects, Appeals and Campaigns through the drag-and-drop dashboard from day one.
How is iCharityCMS different from WordPress?
WordPress is a general-purpose CMS that you adapt to a charity with plugins, custom fields and developer time. iCharityCMS is the opposite — charity-specific functionality is built in from the ground up. Programs, Projects, Appeals and Campaigns are first-class content types, not workarounds, and the platform is built on modern React technology for speed and reliability. It's designed primarily for UK charities but suits charitable organisations anywhere.
What can the drag-and-drop page builder do?
iCharityCMS uses a visual, drag-and-drop page builder, so your team lays out and edits pages from the dashboard with no code. Alongside the usual building blocks — headings, text, images, buttons, grids — it ships charity-specific blocks: appeal and programme cards, donation bars, impact sections, an embedded Zakat calculator, fundraiser options and seasonal blocks for Qurbani and Eid. There are also database-driven blocks that pull live Programs, Posts and Forms into a page automatically.
What payment methods and giving types does iCharityCMS support?
Donations are native to the platform, not a plugin. It supports one-off, recurring (subscription) and appeal-specific giving through a donation cart and checkout, with payment gateways including Stripe, PayPal, GoCardless and bank transfer. Islamic giving is first-class — Zakat, Sadaqah, Lillah and Fitrana categories, country-wise programme rates and a built-in Zakat calculator.
Is there a donor account area?
Yes. iCharityCMS includes a self-service donor portal where supporters log in to see their giving history, manage recurring subscriptions, download receipts and update their profile — reducing admin for your team while giving donors control over their own giving.
Can supporters run their own fundraising pages?
Yes. iCharityCMS has built-in peer-to-peer fundraising: supporters create their own fundraising pages with a target and their own story, and the donations they raise feed straight back into your appeals and reporting — no third-party fundraising platform required.
How does iCharityCMS connect to the iCHARMS donor CRM?
iCharityCMS syncs two-way with iCHARMS, our donor CRM. Donations taken on the website, along with donor records and content, flow into iCHARMS automatically — so Gift Aid, segmentation, reporting and one-click Xero accounting all work from a single source of truth, with no manual re-entry. Website and CRM come from one partner, as one charity-tech stack.
Is iCharityCMS good for SEO, and can we migrate our existing content?
Yes. The frontend is server-rendered React for fast, search-friendly pages, with per-page SEO metadata, managed redirects and automatic sitemaps built in. Content can be imported when you move across — pages, posts, appeals and projects — and the platform connects to an existing website with minimal setup, so you keep your URLs and search equity.
