Welcome! We are thrilled to support you in setting up your donation pages, a crucial step towards your nonprofit's fundraising success. Setting up your donation pages is essential for unlocking the potential of crypto, stock, and donor-advised fund (DAF) donations. We have broken down the steps you need to take to complete your organization's activation into 3 phases.
Your designated support team member will email you within 1-2 business days to get you started. In the meantime, check out this article to explore the steps that lie ahead. It will provide you with valuable information to help you prepare. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!
PHASE ONE
1. Choose Your Activation Track
Choosing the right activation approach for your donation form in order to effectively set up your donation pages is essential for your foundation's success. Your first step is to decide whether you will have a separate donation form for each giving asset type with a distinct giving page or one comprehensive form that includes all options.
We recommend opting for single donation pages because they offer higher visibility and traffic through SEO-optimized pages and provide enhanced donor engagement and clarity on donation options
