Watch the 2-minute setup

Install LT Kindora, import the demo pages, make it yours and run the launch checklist.

LT Kindora is a block theme for charities and local nonprofits: programmes, donations, volunteering and fundraising events. Its look comes from an honest ledger: one stacked bar shows where each dollar goes, every gift says what it buys, and everything else stays quiet. See it live in the demo.

Section patterns (Pro)

PatternUse it for

LT Kindora stacked bar showing where each dollar goes

Page layouts (Pro)

  • Home page: the complete homepage.
  • Our work page: programmes, where the money goes, the weekly timetable, volunteering, FAQ and the donate call to action.
  • About page: your story, reports and accounts, staff and trustees, partners, stories and the call to action.
  • Contact page: contact details, opening times with map, FAQ and the call to action.

Put your real figures in the stacked bar

The bar has three segments: programmes, support costs and fundraising. Work out each one’s share of your total spending from your latest accounts (they add up to 100). In the editor, select each segment of the bar and set Layout → Width → Fixed to its share (for example 78%), then change its text to the same share in cents. Do the same in the hero card, update the key under the large bar, and fill in money in and money out. Remove the “(sample)” notes only once the figures come from your published accounts.

Demo content to replace

  • Phone (555) 017-0116, email [email protected] and the Linden Street address in Springfield (header, footer, contact sections), and the step-free entrance note.
  • “Registered charity no. 000000 (sample)” in the hero, footer, reports and donate sections.
  • Opening times in the top bar, footer, timetable and opening times section.
  • What each gift buys ($10, $25, $50, “Sample costs.”) and the shares 82¢, 11¢ and 7¢ in both bars.
  • Money in and money out ($387,200), and the notes “Sample figures for the year to March” and “Sample figures, not real accounts.”
  • The five programmes, the timetable (“Example timetable.”), the events and their dates and prices.
  • The sample staff, trustees and partner names, their photos, and the sample stories.
  • Policies marked “(example policy)” or “(sample answer)”: volunteer ages, referrals, receipts and tax.
  • The “Donate online”, “Sign up to volunteer”, event and document links: point them to your own pages.

Write only what is true for your charity. Every figure must come from your own accounts; never say gifts are tax-deductible unless your registration allows it where your donors pay tax. Publish stories only with the written permission of the person who tells them, and do not show people receiving help, or children, in a way that identifies them without permission. Name partners and funders only if they agreed.

Photo guide

Colour styles

Harbour (default: paper white, harbour blue and marigold), Night shelter (dark, with pale blue and amber), Meadow (field green and wheat) and Ember (brick red and saffron). Try them in the live demo with the colour dots in the top bar.

Taking donations

LT Kindora has no built-in donation form. Link the “Donate online” button to your donation page (your payment provider, a giving platform or a donation plugin). The other Donate buttons scroll to that section. Send every donor a receipt, and keep card details off your own site unless your payment provider handles them.
