Donation pages<\/a> are the simplest way to collect donations online. You may have a general donation page that hides behind your \u201cDonate\u201d button, however, have you considered other ways you can use donation pages to increase online donations and average gift?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are seven donation page examples that you can use throughout your fundraising plan to raise more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7 Donation Page Examples For Your Nonprofit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Collect Everyday Donations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most nonprofits are already collecting donations online, but if you\u2019re not careful, it\u2019s easy for problems and confusion to arise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, it\u2019s common for nonprofits to use a third-party processor to process the transaction. But once a donor redirects to a different website that doesn\u2019t look anything like your nonprofit\u2019s website, it\u2019s easier for them to avoid following through on the donation. That\u2019s NOT what you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, too often we see organizations using unnecessarily long forms that aren\u2019t mobile-optimized, or just a standard PayPal button that doesn\u2019t give your donors giving options or a professional giving experience<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of collecting online donations using clunky software, try an optimized donation page designed to help you increase donation amounts and boost conversion rates to help you raise more everyday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, to maintain consistency and provide donors the best experience<\/a>, make sure your donation page keeps your donor on your website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With CauseVox, you can embed your optimized donation page<\/a> right on your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t have your donors get redirected to a 3rd party site or clunky form that makes it difficult to donate on mobile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With CauseVox, you can embed your branded donation page on your website through a pop-up, or a new embeddable form directly on the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure your giving experience is great, and you\u2019ll see the benefits in your relationships with donors and see more donations pouring in on your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Promote Your Special Appeals and Specific Programs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are certain times throughout the year when you may be more inclined to run a special fundraiser, such as an appeal to fund a specific program and donation pages are a solid option to collect donations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whenever possible, give your donors different options to choose from when making a donation. This can include recurring giving, suggested amounts and customizable donation tiers with descriptions (suggested levels of giving). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use the design features on the donation page setup step to create donation tiers<\/a> specific to the campaign you\u2019re running. By having donation tiers tied to impact, donors are more likely to make a donation based on the impact they can create, as opposed to a dollar amount. This often leads to larger donations, while helping donors feel like they\u2019re making a difference for your mission.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Partnerships & Corporate Sponsors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Do you partner with another nonprofit, business or corporation that promotes giving amongst their employee or client base? If so, you can customize a donation page specific to that audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can even include their logo directly in their header and co-brand the page!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This way, your partners are empowered to send the page out to their community in an email, or potentially embed a donate button on the website to your charity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stupid Cancer uses CauseVox to keep their brand consistent on their donation page. Custom-branded donation pages build trust with donors, and increase both the size of average gifts and likelihood that a donor will make a second one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use colors in line with your organization\u2019s branding, or in line with the branding of your partner organization, such as the colors in the logo or other marketing materials. Familiar branding and imagery are always helpful in ensuring consistency and accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Use In Email Appeals or Social Media Blitzes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Donors don\u2019t just get to your donation page through a web search. Often, they\u2019re directed there from your emails and social media profiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make it easy on your donors by linking directly to your donation page through email appeals and any social media fundraising blitzes you run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A simple call-to-action encouraging people to \u201cSupport,\u201d \u201cDonate,\u201d etc. along with a link to a  donation page customized with amounts specifically related to your email ask will direct people to where they need to go to make a gift. It\u2019s almost too easy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
