As my company grows, so do the requests for nonprofit discounts. If you are in the business of digital content creation, then you probably get a lot of requests for free and discounted services. At my agency, requests for discounts based upon nonprofit status are always met with “no”. We even get ahead of this question by answering it in advance on our FAQ page. I’m confident about that decision, but I didn’t always feel confident saying “no.” The first time I heard the words, "Do you provide a discount for nonprofits?” I thought, “Why on earth would I do that?”  Then, I wondered, “Am I supposed to be giving nonprofits discount pricing?” The post Should you give discounts to nonprofit organizations? first appeared on WebDev Success.

One of my coaching clients showed up with a list of questions to go over during our coaching session. I could tell from her list that we had moved past the practical nuts and bolts of building a website for a customer. She wanted to know about the inside operation and growth of her website development business. “What if I’m not good at making a website look nice? You know…the design part?” “How do you get people to pay you thousands of dollars for a website when they can get one for a few hundred dollars from Fiverr?” “How can I get someone to trust me with a large project when my portfolio is wimpy?” I recognized exactly what she was talking about because early in my website development career, I struggled with the same things.
