TopNonprofit organizations have been recently an emerging research topic. There are many empirical studies focusing on nonprofit organizations. Many researchers have explored the benefits of information technology applications for nonprofit organizations (cf. O'Donnell, 2001; Cammaerts, & Van Audenhove, 2003; Pini et al., 2004; O'Donnell & Ramaioli, 2004; Cheta, 2004; Edwards, 2004; O’Donnell et al., 2007; Saeed et al., 2008). Many researchers have involved nonprofit actors in the design process to gain technological sustainability (cf. Merkel et al., 2004; Rohde, 2004; Farooq. 2005; Merkel et al., 2005).
In our earlier work we have looked at the knowledge sharing and organizing practices of activists (cf. Saeed et al., 2010; Saeed et al., 2011), use of collaboration space and mailing list by activists (cf. Saeed & Rohde, 2010; Saeed et al., 2011a). Similarly, we have also focused on Pakistani nonprofit sector and looked at ICT usage by different NGOs (Saeed et al., 2008; Saeed et al. 2010). Despite these contributions there is no specific contribution highlighting the usability evaluation of nonprofit websites. Keeping this in view we evaluated websites of three nonprofit settings in Pakistan.
