Donor Portal is a self-service dashboard that your donors can visit to manage their donations. Access to Donor Portal does not require a user name or password. Instead, donors authenticate using a secure magic link that is emailed to them at the time of login.

To get started, we recommend customizing Donor Portal settings that require minimal configuration. The recommended customizations are described below.

Portal URL

Your Portal URL is the web address where donors will access Donor Portal. Customize the subdomain for your Portal URL by setting a short and memorable keyword that is relevant to your organization.

Later, you can customize your Portal URL to use a custom domain, or, if you already have access to your domain’s DNS records, you can set a custom domain by referring to this guide.

Appearance

Customize Donor Portal by setting a custom browser icon (favicon) and hero image.
