3 TIPS FOR
A BETTER DONATE BOTTON
ON YOUR
NONPROFIT WEBSITE

There are many elements of a website that come together to make a
compelling final product. When discussing nonprofit websites, one
of the most important aspects is the donate button. Putting a bit
of thought into the way you show visitors how to donate can make a
big difference in the effectiveness of your online fundraising
efforts.

Below are three suggestions to keep in mind to get the most out of
the donate button on your nonprofit’s website.

Make Your Donate Button
Stand Out Visually

It’s important that your donate button stands out from the rest of
your website immediately. You can make this happen in a variety
of ways depending on the design of your site, but some possible
ways to do so include:

Use a different color than the rest of your navigation

Give it room to breathe by physically setting it apart
from other buttons and links

Make it larger than other elements of your website’s
navigation

Use a larger, distinct font

People will likely want to know where and how to donate before they
actually decide to do so. Make it obvious.

Ensure Your Donate Button
Stays in the Same Place

Put your donate button somewhere that doesn’t change as a user navigates
your website. Sure, you can link to your donation page from multiple
places on your website. But you want a visitor to know where that button
is whenever they decide they’d like to donate. Generally, the upper right
of a website’s header can be a great, visible spot for a donate button that
won’t change from page to page.

Put Your Donate Button
“Above the Fold”

You want your donate button to be immediately visible to a visitor when they
land on your website. Putting your donate button high enough on your website
so it isn’t cut off by your monitor (also known as content that’s “above the
fold”) can help ensure every visitor will see how to give. Again, the header
can be great since it will show up on any monitor, no matter the screen size
or resolution.

Regardless of your design, make that donate button stand out in whatever way
you think is best. True, not everyone will ultimately donate to your cause.
But at least you’ll know it’s not because a potential donor couldn’t find
where to do so on your website.

DONATION
FORM

Donation form is used to get information about the donor and maintain
a proper record of all donations obtained for a particular period of
time. It is crucial for both the donor as well as recipient. One of
the big advantage of having a donation form is a tax relief. It also
act as a receipt while preparing financial records. A donation form
will be drafted having some important information such as:

Donor

name, address, phone, fax, email

Donation

objective of donation, amount of donation, date of payment

Mode of Transmittal

mode of payment

A donation form is an essential document that is used by charities to
get the information about the donor. The major reason for having this
form is to maintain the information of each donor in a professional
way. There is no doubt, after filling the form by donor the charity
itself can update the data of donor on their system for afterward
check. Generally it is the responsibility of charity to maintain the
info of donor in an accurate way to record the amount of donations
that is obtained by donor on a particular time period. A wisely filled
donation form may equally serve the donor as well as the charity.
