There are a ton of nice CMS back-ends out there, you don't need to know CSS, PHP, XML, etc. to use them. Most will install and run with little to no knowledge of these things, and most you can install pre-made templates and modules with no knowledge either.

It certainly HELPS if you can hack some CSS and PHP to fine-tune and customize your look, but it's not generally NECESSARY.

Some others to look at: Joomla, Xoops, OpenCMS, PHP-Fusion, phpwcms... or just google "free php cms". Most of them use MySQL as well, and a few require you to create the database first (they'll build their own tables after that), so a little MySQL knowledge can be helpful.

If this is for a non-profit, I assume you're doing it on a volunteer basis? Maybe they shouldn't be so picky about "free" help... an old phrase about beggars being choosers comes to mind.
