Happy 2016 everyone! Our goal this year is to launch many analytics, supporter connections, and social features for our community. We just added a donation progress meter for campaigns that want to encourage donors to help reach a goal. Setting it up is really easy. In the form editor, visit the ‘Fundraising Page’ section.
Scroll to the bottom of the left-hand pane. From there you can then set a monthly goal or a goal for the entire campaign:
Once this is set you will see a donation progress bar added your Donorbox donation page! Please visit this article for easy instructions on embedding a goal meter on your website.
If you have embedded the donation form on your website, there is an option to hide the donation meter under the embed preview page.
Happy Fundraising!
My donation progress widget is not auto adding payments made. I am having to manually enter them. That kinda takes the appeal out. Is there a way to fix this?
How are recurring donations recorded on the campaign goal meter? For example, would a monthly gift of $25 show up as $25 or $600 on the meter?
Do you have to manually adjust the donation bar or does it automatically adjust when a donation is received? Thanks
The meter will auto update after each donation.
For donations that happen outside donorbox, for example, a local business hands us a large check, can I update progress manually for the donorbox campaign?
Hey, Adrian!
We have a feature that allows an organization to add offline donations. When you manually add the offline donation, the progress meter will update
to reflect the new donation total on your campaign.
If you’d like, you can read more about adding offline donations here.
It automatically adjusts! Happy fundraising!
