[Talk to our NGO team](#contact) **Is Drupal the right CMS for a nonprofit? For most mid-to-large, multilingual, donor-funded organizations, yes.** It is the open-source platform behind UNICEF, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), UNHCR, Amnesty International, and Greenpeace, chosen because it handles enterprise-grade security, 100+ languages, and CRM integration without per-seat licence fees, so more of every donation stays with the cause. ## Why nonprofits choose Drupal ### Zero licence fees Drupal is *open source*, so budget that would go to proprietary licensing stays with the mission, with 40,000+ free community modules to build on. ### Enterprise-grade security A dedicated Drupal *Security Team* and a transparent advisory process protect sensitive donor data. WordPress, by contrast, accounts for roughly **95.5% of hacked CMS sites**. ### Scale that survives the appeal Architecture that grows from a single campaign site to a global multi-site estate absorbs **crisis-appeal traffic surges** without a rebuild. ### Multilingual at the core 100+ languages are built into Drupal core rather than sold as a paid add-on, so one platform serves every market you operate in. ### Own your platform and data No vendor lock-in and no rent on your own donor data; you control the roadmap. ## Enterprise-grade security for donor data - A **dedicated Drupal Security Team** vets core and contributed modules and publishes coordinated advisories, the standard trusted by governments and UN agencies. - **Donor-data protection by design** through granular access control and audit trails that keep payment and supporter records sensitive-data-ready. - **Proactive monitoring and patching** applies security updates on a defined schedule, the difference between a maintained platform and an incident waiting to happen. - For organizations replacing an unsupported or breach-prone site, see our [Drupal maintenance and support](https://metadrop.net/en/services/drupal/maintenance) approach. ## Connect your donor and supporter stack - **Salesforce integration** syncs supporters, donations, and campaign data between your website and CRM in real time; delivered for Save the Children and Action Against Hunger. - **Payment and marketing tools** connect Stripe, PayPal, Mailchimp, HubSpot, and analytics, so your fundraising and outreach run on one joined-up stack. - **No data silos**, just one source of truth instead of a different rebuild for every campaign or market. - See our [Drupal integrations](https://metadrop.net/en/services/drupal/integrations) service for the full approach. ## GDPR and compliance, built for European NGOs - **GDPR-compliant data handling** with consent management, data-retention controls, and lawful donor-data processing for organizations operating across the EU. - **NIS2 and ENS readiness**, because Metadrop delivers to recognized security and public-sector compliance frameworks. - **Accessibility for everyone you serve** through WCAG-conformant builds; see our [accessibility audit](https://metadrop.net/en/services/drupal-audit/accessibility) service. - **Drupal Silver Certified Partner** with 15+ years of Drupal delivery, independent technical governance, and defined SLAs behind every platform. ## Multilingual, global-ready platforms - **100+ languages in core** let you translate content, interface, and workflows for every region you operate in, from one platform. - **Right-to-left and locale support** handles Arabic, Hebrew, and regional formats properly for genuinely global appeals. - **One platform, many markets.** Metadrop supports clients across 50+ countries and 30+ languages. ## Built for the people who run your mission - **Non-technical publishing** lets editors and campaign teams create and update content without touching code. - **Roles, permissions, and governance** give distributed teams granular user roles, so they publish safely within clear approval workflows. - **Reusable components** let you build campaign landing pages and microsites from a shared design system, fast. ## Drupal vs WordPress for nonprofits - **Security:** Drupal's permission model and dedicated Security Team make it the safer choice for donor data; WordPress's plugin sprawl sits behind roughly 95.5% of hacked CMS sites. - **Multilingual:** native in Drupal core, while WordPress treats it as an add-on with ongoing cost. - **Scale and integrations:** Drupal is built for complex, high-traffic, CRM-integrated platforms. - **The honest answer:** a small single-language brochure site may not need Drupal. A multilingual, donor-integrated, compliance-bound platform almost always does. Turn visitors into donors Fundraising and recurring donations are the engine of your platform. We build donation flows, payment integration, and donor journeys as a dedicated capability.

Yes. Drupal is the open-source CMS behind UNICEF, MSF, UNHCR, Amnesty International, and Greenpeace because it delivers enterprise-grade security, native multilingual support, and CRM integration with no licence fees, exactly what a mid-to-large, donor-funded organization needs. - ### Is Drupal secure enough for donor data? Yes. Drupal has a dedicated Security Team, a coordinated advisory process, and a granular permissions model, which is why governments and UN agencies trust it for sensitive data. With proactive maintenance, it is markedly safer than plugin-heavy alternatives. - ### Can Drupal run a multilingual NGO website? Yes. Drupal supports 100+ languages in core, not as a paid add-on, including right-to-left scripts, so one platform can serve every country and language you operate in. - ### How does Drupal integrate with Salesforce and other CRMs? Drupal syncs supporters, donations, and campaign data with Salesforce, payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal), and marketing tools (Mailchimp, HubSpot) in real time. Metadrop has delivered Salesforce integration for Save the Children and Action Against Hunger. - ### Is a Drupal nonprofit website GDPR compliant? It can be, by design. Metadrop builds consent management, data-retention controls, and lawful donor-data processing into the platform, and delivers to GDPR, NIS2, and ENS frameworks for organizations operating across Europe. - ### When should a nonprofit choose Drupal over WordPress? Choose Drupal when you are multilingual, handle donor or supporter data, integrate a CRM, or expect traffic surges during appeals. A small single-language brochure site may not need it; a mission-critical, compliance-bound platform almost always does. ## Ready to build a platform worthy of your mission?
