Donation pages are user-friendly, secure, and branded landing pages for your donation form. While the donation form is embedded on the page, you're able to strategically brand your donation page and elevate a simple transaction to an emotional, memorable experience.
You can incorporate donation pages in your fundraising in several ways:
Ensure seamless access to your donation page by linking it to a prominent 'Donate' button or other compelling visual or textual elements on your organization's website.
In your email appeals and fundraising campaigns, strategically embed the donation page within your key messaging, encouraging recipients to contribute effortlessly.
For broader outreach, consider sharing standalone donation pages across your social media platforms to maximize exposure and engagement.
