Showcase organizations making a difference
Create a directory of nonprofits, charities, and social enterprises. Help donors and volunteers find causes they care about.
What is a nonprofit directory?
A nonprofit directory is a website that lists nonprofits, charities and social enterprises by cause or location, with each one's mission and contact details, so donors and volunteers can find organizations to support.
How do I start a nonprofit directory?
Choose what it will cover (a niche, a place or both), collect a first set of nonprofits, and publish them on a site where people can search and compare them. On DirectoryDuck you sign up free, add nonprofits from a CSV file or let AI discovery find matches on the web for you to approve, and publish them at directoryduck.com/your-name.
What does it cost to start a nonprofit directory?
You can start for $0: the Free plan includes one directory at directoryduck.com/your-name, 100 listings and 100 starter credits for AI discovery. Featured listings and your own domain start on Starter at $39/mo; Growth is $99/mo (5 directories) and Pro $249/mo (unlimited directories and listings). Paid plans are available now, billed monthly or yearly.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I start a nonprofit directory with DirectoryDuck?
- Sign up free and create your directory. Add nonprofits from a CSV file or one at a time, or describe what you want and let AI discovery find matches on the web for you to review. Publish them in one click, and your directory is live at directoryduck.com/your-name, with a page for every published listing.
- What does a nonprofit directory on DirectoryDuck cost?
- The Free plan is $0: one directory, 100 listings and 100 starter credits for AI discovery. Starter is $39/mo (one directory, more listings and monthly credits), Growth $99/mo (5 directories) and Pro $249/mo (unlimited directories and listings); paid plans are available now, billed monthly or yearly.
- Can I put a nonprofit directory on a website I already have?
- Yes. One script tag puts the whole directory on your site, with search, category filters, listing pages and an inquiry form, on every plan today. Widgets show listings, reviews, a star rating, a verified badge, a review form or an inquiry form on any page, and the public REST API returns your listings and reviews as JSON. On Starter and up the hosted page can also run on your own domain.
- How do reviews work in a nonprofit directory?
- Visitors leave a star rating and a written review with the review form widget or the API. Each review waits until you approve it, you can post a public response, and approved reviews show on the listing's page.
- Can I mark nonprofits as verified?
- Yes. Verify a listing with a code sent to its email address, a meta tag on its website or a DNS TXT record, or approve it by hand. Verified listings show a Verified badge in your directory and in the badge widget. A business can also claim its listing: it confirms its email address, and you approve the claim.
