What Civic Brief is for
Civic Brief is a block theme for small nonprofits, charities, neighbourhood associations and civic groups — organisations that need to say clearly what they do, how to help and what is coming up, and to be usable by everyone who visits.
It ships three patterns written for that job: a hero with calls to action, a “get involved” call to action, and an events-and-updates list. Templates cover the home page, posts, pages, archives, search results and 404, plus a wide page template without a sidebar.
Accessibility is built into the defaults: a skip link, real landmarks, a visible keyboard focus outline, and light and dark (“Civic Night”) palettes whose text colours all measure above the WCAG AA contrast ratio. Fonts are system stacks, so the theme makes no third-party requests.
Who it suits
Small nonprofits and civic organisations that want an accessible, plain site they can maintain themselves in the block editor, with donation handling left to a payment provider or plugin of their choice.

Good to know before you install
- This theme is downloaded from this site, not from the WordPress.org directory, so WordPress will not show an update notice for it. Check this page for new versions.
- The theme does not take payments or include a donation form. Point its buttons at your donation page or provider.
- Changing palette colours in Styles can break the contrast the theme was built with; check text and background pairs after editing.
