Free. A gift from CMG to Kid’s Heart & Art

The kids’ art deserves a website as beautiful as the show.

We built Kid’s Heart & Art a new website, at no cost, so every donor, sponsor and family who looks you up before February 20 sees the heart behind the show. Here’s how it scores next to the current site.

The scores

Where the website stands today, and where this one takes it

We score nonprofit sites on what actually moves donors and sponsors: does it look the part, tell the story, make giving easy, put the event up front, work on a phone, show up on Google and AI, and prove the impact with real photos.

Current website

kidsheartandart.org

Works, but doesn’t tell the story

  • The home page is two program cards and a logo strip, so a first-time donor sees almost nothing of the kids or the mission
  • No impact on the home page: the $12,000+ raised, 54 artists and 280+ guests aren’t there to build trust
  • The February 20, 2027 show date isn’t on the home page, 99 days out
  • Only 4 images on the home page, while you have dozens of beautiful real show and class photos
  • The phone number isn’t tap-to-call, and there’s no structured data to help Google and AI assistants recommend you

Every Register, Donate, Sponsor and Attend button on the new site goes straight to your existing kidsheartandart.org forms, so nothing changes about how you take registrations, donations or sponsorships.

Why now

Donors and sponsors won’t tell you why they passed.

Before someone writes a check or puts their logo on the 2027 show, they look you up. If the website doesn’t show the kids, the story and the impact, most won’t say a word. They just quietly give somewhere else, and you never know it happened. The next 90 days are when sponsor and donor decisions get made, so this is the moment the website matters most.
