Blue Ray Media works with nonprofit organizations and foundations to develop Web sites. We also create online fundraising and e-commerce tools, design e-mail newsletters and manage data, and develop online events calendars and registration forms. We also collaborate to create other Web-related technology services.
We understand that nonprofit organizations are as varied as the communities they serve. Some are philanthropic, while others focus on ways to promote new ideas and ways of doing things. Some are established with many donors and volunteers, and some struggle to raise funds, spread their messages and fulfill their missions.
See how we're helping a variety of nonprofit organizations and foundations deliver their messages and fulfill their missions on the Web. Below are some examples from our portfolio. You may also want to view some of the Web sites for businesses and sites for law firms that Blue Ray Media has also developed.

The site is accessible to users with disabilities; it conforms to level Triple-A of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0, including all Priority 1, Priority 2, and Priority 3 checkpoints defined in the Guidelines.
