Run campaigns
Learn about Fundraise Up's essential tools for managing campaigns, collecting donations, and engaging supporters.
Fundraise Up equips organizations with essential tools to optimize fundraising efforts and increase donation revenue. Our platform offers multiple features to create engaging donation experiences and reach supporters effectively.
Understanding campaigns
Campaigns are the core component of fundraising on our platform. Each campaign functions as a separate fundraising initiative — from annual drives and special events to ongoing giving programs. Organizations can create an unlimited number of campaigns, with each campaign tracking its associated donations and recurring plans.
Donation collection methods
Each campaign supports two donation collection methods:
- Checkout modal An optimized donation overlay that appears directly on your website. Supporters can complete donations without leaving the current page, providing a smooth user experience across both desktop and mobile devices.
- Campaign Page A dedicated landing page that combines campaign content with an optimized donation form. Campaign Pages support multiple languages and custom domains, making them ideal for sharing across digital channels and email campaigns.
You can enable both of these options for your campaign simultaneously.
Additional fundraising features
Fundraisers
Enable peer-to-peer fundraising by allowing supporters to create personal fundraising pages. This approach expands your reach through supporter networks and strengthens community engagement with your cause.
Elements
Enhance your website with fundraising-specific components. Choose from over 20 Elements including:
- Donation buttons and forms
- Goal meters and progress trackers
- Recent donation displays
- Impact calculators
