Stratos / Impact Program

A social initiative by Stratos Web

Premium websites
for the people who
change lives.

Every year we build a handful of nonprofits a professional website completely free, so their digital presence matches the work they do.

The backstory

This project
is personal.

Stratos Web exists so that ambitious brands look ambitious online. This programme, though, started somewhere else entirely.

Our founder created the Impact Program because addiction touched people close to him. Seeing those struggles up close made it clear how vital organisations working in rehabilitation, prevention and mental health are — and how often an outdated website holds them back while they do extraordinary work.

The goal was never simply to build websites. The goal is for these organisations to reach more of the people who need them, and to have more impact than ever.

Who it's for

For those
who do
real good

If your work helps people, and a better website would help you reach more of them, this programme is for you.

  • You operate as a nonprofit
  • You create measurable social impact
  • You genuinely need a better website
  • You want to reach more people
  • You're open to working together

Priority goes to organisations working in recovery, mental health and child protection. But any organisation creating real impact can apply.

The process

A simple,
human process

Four steps from application to a new website.

Application

Organisations send in their application and share their story.

Review

We review every applying organisation carefully.

A conversation

We go through needs, goals and possibilities together.

Building the website

Together we build a professional digital presence.

From the programme

What we're
building now

FICE's website is being built through the Impact Program right now. The same work and the same standard as any other project — there just isn't an invoice at the end.

Our vision

We help the people who help others.

This isn't a one-off campaign. Over the coming years we want to build dozens of nonprofit websites and contribute to stronger communities in Hungary.

The limits

What the programme does not include

We state this in advance, because disappointment is worse than rejection. If any of these rules your organisation out, it's better to know now.

Selection is not guaranteed Applying does not mean the organisation joins the programme. We can work with only a few organisations at a time, so we have to turn down good applications as well.
Not financial support The programme provides work, not funding. We cannot provide donations, operating support or matching funds for grant applications.
Not unlimited scope This is a website of a defined scope, which we agree together after the application. Anything beyond that has to be agreed separately.
It doesn't replace the organisation's own work The content — text, photographs, figures — needs the organisation's involvement. Without it, even the best website stays empty.
Not immediate Both assessment and delivery take time. If the organisation needs a website by a fixed date, it should say so in the application.

Help

Frequently
asked

Can't find your answer? Write to us — we're glad to help.

Is it really free?

Yes, entirely. Selected organisations pay nothing. There are no hidden fees, licence costs or obligations. We cover the design, the development and the launch.

Why do you do this?

Because we've seen first hand how vital organisations working in rehabilitation, mental health and child protection are. We have the expertise to help, so we help.

Who can apply?

Nonprofit organisations that create real, measurable social impact and are open to working together. Priority goes to organisations working in recovery, mental health and child protection.

How many organisations do you select?

Only a handful each year. We deliberately keep the number small so every organisation gets our full attention and the highest quality website.

Do you maintain the website?

Every organisation gets initial technical support after launch. Longer-term needs we discuss together during the conversation.

Do you also redesign existing websites?

Of course. Whether you're starting from scratch or replacing an outdated site, we build a modern, professional presence from the ground up.
