It’s never been easier to collect donations. By simplifying the donation process, you can increase the number of potential donations. When an individual visits your website or blog and sees your fundraiser image, all they need to do is click the “Donate now” button. Then they’ll be taken to a payment page where they can donate any amount to support your cause.

What’s more, if users visit your website frequently, a donate button can encourage recurring donations.

It allows you to support causes you care about

Thanks to the Donate Button, showing your support for charities and nonprofit organizations has never been easier.

Each fundraiser on GoFundMe has a unique embed code that is available to anyone. Even if you didn’t launch your own GoFundMe, you can support or promote a fundraiser that’s important to you by embedding that fundraiser’s Donate Button on your blog or website.

Outreach is one of the most challenging elements of fundraising. By adding a Donate Button, you can turn website visitors into potential donors.

It makes sharing more straightforward, too. You can streamline your fundraising strategy on social media but focusing on one core link that includes all the important information, as well as the call-to-action Donate Button. This way, you’re driving all potential donors through the same journey.
