What is a donate button?
The easiest way to get people
giving online to your charity is to
add a 'Donate' button to your
website.
It will help your 'ask' for donations
stand out, and because JustGiving
is a name people know and
trust, they'll be happy to click on
the button to make a donation.
You can find a set of ready made
buttons in your charity account.
* Direct Debit donate buttons = UK only

Step 1: Personalise your profile
Your profile page on JustGiving is where
you can tell your story and people can
show they care about your cause –
they can like, share, give or fundraise with
just one click (or touch) of a button.
It looks great on mobile phones too, so
people can connect with your cause
wherever they are; however they want.

Step 2: Choose your button
3. Pick the one you’d like to use and
click on it
4. Its HTML code will appear in the box
to the right, under Step 2.
This code can be used to make the
donate button appear on your website
via your CMS (content management
system). If you don’t have a CMS, you’ll
need to speak to someone with a bit of
technical expertise to help you add it to
your website.
Click 'copy' if you'd like to add the HTML
to your website yourself – you can then
paste it in to your CMS. Alternatively,
add an email address so you can send
the code directly to your web manager
or whoever updates your website
