If nobody can find their way to your donation page, it’s not worth much.

Your donation page should be like Rome: All roads go there.

Here are some great pointers from 4aGoodCause blog, at 10 places to put a link to your online donation page:


  1. From a spotlight on your home page
  2. Your website navigation
  3. A “ways to give” page on your website
  4. Your Facebook page
  5. From Status Updates and Tweets
  6. Your email newsletter
  7. The email signature of every email your staff sends
  8. Confirmation pages and thank you emails
  9. From your direct mail letters
  10. On the signage at your events

Tomorrow: Once you get someone to your landing page, make sure it’s doing its job!

      These are great ideas. It’s also a good idea to get text to donate and QR codes to add to newsletters in addition to all the mentioned advice above. Make sure your donation platform is easy to fill out an allows for guest donations that you can follow up on.
      A great reference for an online giving platform that allows for all mobile, kiosk, facebook, and online giving is https://www.continuetogive.com I would recommend their services to anyone! Best customer support, prices, and user-friendliness for online giving.
