What a fundraising campaign website needs to do
Visitors arrive from a share or a message, so the first screen must say who you are raising money for, why it matters and how to give. A goal, a deadline and short updates keep people engaged. Anything else is a distraction.
Donations use your approved tool or a Square link we help you set up, and the site shows the goal and updates you provide. We do not build a custom donation engine.
People searching for a fundraising campaign usually decide in seconds. Your site should answer the questions below before they have to ask.

Timing matters. Campaigns cluster around holidays, anniversaries and the weeks after an event.
The pages a fundraising campaign website needs
A fundraising campaign site does not need dozens of pages. It needs the right few, each doing one job:
- ✓Home with the story and goal — one page does the work
- ✓Updates
- ✓About the cause — who and why
- ✓Give
- ✓Thank you
Need a page for every service or town you cover? The larger packages give you room to grow.
