Sometimes you’re looking for free photography for your nonprofit, and you want to ensure you have full permission to use it.

As a designer, I’m a firm believer in the flexibility and support that Squarespace offers as a tool for building and managing a nonprofit website. Over the years, I’ve built many sites for churches, nonprofits, and other organizations, and I get the same questions from potential clients each time: Can Squarespace handle the needs of our nonprofit?

Let’s set the scene: You’re looking for a toy store to grab something for your niece’s birthday. You’re heading to a different neighbourhood for some other errands today too, and figure there might be something you could pick up while you’re already there. So, you grab your phone and type into your Google Search:
