Supercharge online fundraising!
Can I have a donate button on my website? A question we are often asked when creating new websites for charities. The simple answer is yes – but no need to stop there. You can easily make your website work harder to generate funding for your organisation. To help you we have created a 3-in1 Fundraising Add-on that will take your website to the next level.
Online Donations
An online donation button makes it easy for visitors to donate to your organisation. It is particularly valuable for local Minds as most people don’t realise that each one is an independent registered charity responsible for raising its own funds. So an online donation button ensures funds go directly to local service provision and support. Managing your own donations also eliminates potential fees charged by third party donation sites.
Secure Online Donations
The online donation form is simple and safe to use. Your visitors can choose to make a one-off donation or set up a recurring monthly donation.
All payments are secure and the donation facility comes with tools for you to view donor data and manage the account. Donations are paid directly into your designated bank account.
Many of our charitable sector clients opt to have this facility added to their website.
Just Giving Fundraisers
Just Giving is the UK’s most popular fundraising platform. It is extremely effective for managing and promoting fund-raising events, but it comes at a cost. Each donation is subject to processing fees which diminish the return to your charity.
100% Donation Returns
There is way to ensure you get 100% of all money raised for your organisation.
With our Personal Fundraiser Facility, fundraisers can optimise returns by organising events through your website. They simply submit details of their event via an online form on the fundraising page on your website. Once approved by you, the fundraising page is set-up and all money raised goes to your charity!
Increase Visitors and Raise Awareness
By accessing your website directly, visitors can learn about your independent charitable status and explore your activities and outcomes. Something they less likely to do when directed to a Just Giving page.
This increase in website traffic improves your Google rankings which in turn raises your profile to a wider audience.
Current local Minds using this facility to great effect are Hertfordshire Mind Network and Mind in the Vale of Glamorgan.
Ecommerce Toolkit
An e-commerce add-on is the ideal way to monetise your website and generate income for your charity. Creative use can provide multiple revenue streams.
Online Shops
The obvious way to raise funds for your charity is via an online shop. A number of charities are using our e-commerce facility to sell branded merchandise such as clothing and accessories. Current examples include Bath Mind and Mind in West Essex.
All payments are securely processed and the back-end tools enable you to swiftly manage and process all online orders. The proceeds of shop sales go directly to your charity to help provide local services and support.
Processing Payments for In-house Resources
The e-commerce facility is often used to take payments for online training courses and counselling sessions.
Several local Minds are using it for monetising training, including Mind in Haringey and Hertfordshire Mind Network.
Affordable and accessible counselling sessions are being processed online by local Minds including Mind in Rotherham and Barnsley.
