fyi: CiviCRM, which is a pretty powerful central database works with 
Joomla (www.civicrm.org). CiviCRM can handle all your contact records, 
track donations, accept online donations via paypal, and with the 
optional CiviMail, can send enewsletters to your constituents.

If installing a content management system is a challenge for you, 
CiviCRM is also works within CivicSpace (www.civicspace.org) a free 
download to power your website, manage your online community, accept 
online donations and send mass email. CivicSpace is *slightly* easier to 
install than Joomla + CiviCRM and you get similar functionality.

>> Hello all,
>>    I am currently trying to create two websites, both of
>> them for youth organizations. One is for a girl's
>> empowerment organization and the other one is an umbrella
>> organization that deals mainly with afterschool programs.
>> The organizations are college organizations and small time
>> but still very important. I have only a little experience
>> with web design and am having trouble finding a good route
>> to creating these sites. It is important that they get done
>> this summer and they also need to well done, interactive,
>> and easy to navigate. I'm posting on here in hopes that
>> there is someone who can create a site for me or point me to
>> a helpful place- I'm currently pretty lost.
>> Please feel free to send me an e-mail on the topic if you
>> don't want to put it on here: boizelle at stu.beloit.edu

>> Thank You,
