Complete reference guide for all Fundraise Up Elements with examples and use cases.

Fundraise Up provides more than 20 Elements divided into six categories: Buttons, Data displays, Forms, Links, Lists, and Overlays. Each section below details how specific Elements work, shows how they appear on your website, and explains common use cases to help you choose the right Elements for your needs.

Read the Elements Overview article to learn how to create and add elements to your site, as well as customize them.

Button Elements

Button Elements help direct visitors towards your campaign’s Checkout Modal. Each button is fully customizable and integrates with your website design.

Button Group

 
Link copied

The Button Group displays multiple donation amounts. Its layout adapts to your page design, arranging buttons in either a single row or multiple rows and columns based on available space.

Users who click any amount are redirected to the Checkout Modal of the associated campaign. If the modal isn’t enabled, they’ll be taken to the Campaign Page.

Element preview:

These previews are for demonstration only and do not trigger any actions.

Common use cases:

  • Campaign landing pages when you want to suggest specific amounts.
  • Blog posts about particular fundraising needs.
  • Impact-focused pages where amounts correspond to specific outcomes.
  • Emergency or time-sensitive campaign pages.

Floating Button

 
Link copied

The Floating Button is a dynamic element that stays fixed in the corner of your website, moving with visitors as they scroll. It activates a popup with an engaging, AI-generated call to action after they’ve spent time exploring your content. When clicked, it opens your campaign’s Checkout Modal or redirects to the Campaign Page if the modal isn't enabled.

AI plays a key role in this feature by generating donation messages that align with your campaign’s content. If multiple languages are enabled, the AI automatically creates messages in all active languages, eliminating the need for manual customization. While the AI-generated messages come from your campaign descriptions and Ask page content, you can still customize the button’s appearance, such as its size and color.

The button appears one second after page load and displays donation popup at two key moments: after 10 seconds of page viewing, or when desktop visitors move their cursor toward the browser’s address bar (indicating they might leave).

The popup shows only once per site visit and won’t appear again after a successful donation.

Element preview:

Common use cases:

  • Zero-effort integration: insert the element and let AI optimize supporter engagement automatically.
  • Mobile websites where corner buttons feel natural.
  • Content-heavy pages that need minimal donation elements.
  • Blog posts and articles where scrolling is common.

Fundraisers Button

Image Card

 
Link copied

The Image Card combines visuals with a donation button to showcase specific projects or campaigns. You can add a custom image, title, and description. When visitors hover over the chevron symbol next to the title, a slide-up animation reveals the longer description.

Visitors who click the Image Card will be redirected to the campaign’s Checkout Modal. If the modal isn’t enabled, they’ll be taken to the Campaign Page.

Element preview:

Common use cases:

  • Featured projects on your homepage.
  • Program-specific donation opportunities.

Sticky Button

 
Link copied

The Sticky Button appears outside your website’s layout at a higher visual layer. It attaches to the edge of your browser window and stays visible as visitors scroll up or down. The button’s appearance can be controlled with a Scroll offset setting, which determines how far a visitor must scroll before the button smoothly glides into view. This helps organizations avoid overwhelming visitors with multiple donation prompts immediately upon page load, instead waiting until they’ve shown engagement with your content.

Like the Donate Button, it includes subtle animations and opens your campaign’s Checkout Modal when clicked. If the modal isn’t enabled, it redirects to the Campaign Page instead.

Element preview:

Common use cases:

  • Long-form content pages.
  • Impact story pages.
  • Blog posts.
  • Campaign updates where you want donation option always available.

Goal Meter

 
Link copied

The Goal Meter, also known as a live thermometer, shows your campaign’s progress toward its target amount using a progress bar. The display updates every minute with new donation totals and includes a count-up animation.

Element preview:

You can track progress by total Donation amount, Total supporters, or Recurring supporters.

To include donations from other sources, use the Add amount option when tracking by amount. When tracking by supporters, you can manually add offline supporters using the Add supporters field.

If tracking by amount, you can also choose to Show number of supporters. If tracking by Total supporter count, you can choose to Show donation amount.

If your campaign has matching funds, you can configure this in the Matching funds field by checking the Set multiplier checkbox and entering your ratio. Here are some common examples:

  • For a 1:1 match (sponsor contributes $1 for every $1 donated), set the multiplier to 2.

    Example: A $30 donation becomes $60 toward your goal.

  • For a 2:1 match (sponsor contributes $2 for every $1 donated), set the multiplier to 3.

    Example: A $30 donation becomes $90 toward your goal.

You can enter any multiplier value that matches your campaign’s matching ratio. This option is especially useful for campaigns that involve corporate sponsorships, challenge grants, or programs where donations are multiplied to encourage giving.

Refunded donations are excluded from the Goal Meter and are not counted in sums or totals.

The Goal Meter is a display-only element and doesn’t include a donation button. Place a Donate Button or Donate Form element nearby to let supporters make donations.

URL control configurations

Overlay Elements have a URL control tab, where you can limit where the element appears on your website. By default, the element is shown on every page.

Behavior Example
Target the root directory https://example.com/
Target all subdirectories https://example.com/*
Target a specific page https://example.com/about/
Combine rules for more control https://example.com/about/*

Always provide the full URL, including https://, and make sure to add a trailing slash, even for the root directory.
