Aim: To enable your official website's visitors to easily donate on your GivenGain charity profile.
More than 95% of donations via your GivenGain charity profile come from your own official website or from your social media posts or emails, where you share a link to your GivenGain charity profile. Ensuring that your website has a link to your GivenGain charity profile is therefore an extremely important step in your online fundraising process.
Why have a GivenGain donation link on your official website?
- It enables your charity to receive donations in various currencies. (Non-US & UK charities)
- Donors can give once-off or monthly, with the amount and frequency set by you. (US & UK charities only)
- With the donor cover fee option on the donation page, and with over 90% of donors covering the donation fee on your behalf, it is by far the most economical way to receive online donations.
How to add your GivenGain charity profile URL as a link on your official website:
1. Check that your GivenGain charity profile is up-to-date.
2. Visit your public charity profile and copy the URL, e.g. https://www.givengain.com/cause/mycharityprofile-1234, in the top navigation bar.
3. On your own official website, add a Donate button on your navigation section and insert your GivenGain charity profile URL. (Or simply add GivenGain as an additional donation option if you have an existing Donate section on your official website.)
Optional: Use any of the attached GivenGain logos on your donation page.
