How to raise money online

Whether you're a church or nonprofit organization looking for donations, an individual looking for help, or a missionary looking to raise support, the following tools will help you increase awareness, tap into crowdfunding, and raise more money online.

Offering Kiosks are great in places with high traffic where people can walk by and donate. To get set up, download the free Offering Kiosk app then create your fundraising page by following the steps outlined in the app. You can select a Kiosk Stand to securely mount your tablet.

Mobile donations are great for getting donations in the moment, before people walk away and forget. They don’t require people to download an app but rely on QR codes or links that direct people to a fundraising page. To utilize mobile donations, visit the page for which you are fundraising and select “Go Mobile.” You’ll then receive your QR Code or link to distribute so supporters can donate.

Badges are perfect for collecting donations without having to direct people away from your own website. To set up a badge, visit the page you are fundraising for and select “Create a Badge.” Choose from badge color options and a badge layout to match your website. Copy and paste the generated code into your website where you want the code to appear.

Badges can also be placed on your Facebook page. Note that your Facebook page is different than your Facebook profile. To add a badge, search Facebook for the cause you want to support and click the “Choose this Cause” button.

For those who like to encourage others by example, public donation on Facebook is an option. During the donation, people are asked for their privacy settings where they can choose a public donation while keeping the dollar amount private. Right after the donation, an announcement will appear on their Facebook timeline to help spread the word.

Giving Pages utilize crowdfunding and empower others to fundraise on your behalf. Encourage people to visit your fundraising page and click the "Create Giving Page" button. From there, they can create their own page and use their own creativity to fundraise. All donations made through a Giving Page go directly to the organization for which the page was set up.

Using our mail system, which is similar to the concept of Facebook, you can keep donors up to date with mailings by posting regular updates.
