Non-Profit Websites

Paper Summary:

The paper examines the From the Top and PALS' websites; both non-profit organizations that promote the arts within youth communities. The paper discusses how From the Top presents a much sleeker, more professional looking website for their organization. PALS, however, is an organization working on a much smaller scale than From the Top and this shows in the lack of polish on the site. The paper points out, however, that PALS is a local organization that is clearly very successful where it counts and that is in concert. The From the Top organization on the other hand would rely quite heavily on its web presence to promote much of its goals. The paper notes that taking these factors into consideration would make any two websites difficult to assess on equal footing.

From the Paper:

"The purpose of the From the Top website is to "to give dedicated young classical musicians a platform to express themselves and inspire others." The creative and professional effort that has obviously been put into this website reflects the fact that the internet is a major medium for this organization. Though their radio show is the major vehicle for this effort, they advertise the existence of the website on their show, and use the site as an informational platform to provide their audience with more detailed information than can be easily provided on the air. This makes the website a key element for the organization since it can reduce time spent on the air giving out important information, leaving more room for their main focus: the music."
