GivingTuesday Hub

We’ve had E-cards for a while, and have continued to add more features. E-cards are an easy and great way to enhance the donor experience. Donors often make tribute donations on behalf of or in memory of friends and family. Donors can now choose a card from your nonprofit’s custom designs, add a personalized message, and schedule when the card is sent to their friend or family member. Making a donation as a gift is easy with E-cards, and can encourage your supporters to donate on Giving Tuesday as a way to give a meaningful gift to their friends and family.

Your nonprofit can give donors the option to cover processing fees with a custom prompt message.

Use your nonprofit’s domain or subdomain to create a totally branded and cohesive donor experience. 

We posted back in 2019 and 2020 that modern browsers like Safari and Chrome no longer supported session tracking. As a result, we deprecated our widgets that customers previously used to embed registration and other components into their own websites. We simultaneously made significant investments in free websites – including cover pages and free domain/subdomain hosting. More recently, we’ve released a first version of our new Website Builder, making it simple to add and manage content to your website (more about that below).

We also recognize that some nonprofits that have invested in their own website may not be ready to make the switch to GiveSignup | RunSignup’s free websites. Our new embeddable donation form code is a safe and secure way to host a GiveSignup donation form on your website because it is sessionless (i.e. it does not store cookies). Your nonprofit can use all of the great GiveSignup donation form features like flexible recurring giving options, E-cards, attribution, custom donation levels, branded receipts, and more!

In addition to adding a short HTML code that you can copy and paste into any website, we’ve added a specific shortcode for WordPress, and GiveSignup will be accessible as a widget from WordPress. 

Design and build your own high-quality donation websites in minutes. Include images, video, playlists, call-to-action buttons and formatted text on your Donation Website — no coding skills needed. Our initial release makes it simple and easy to host additional Giving Tuesday content. You can learn more about the current functionality here. 

The next phase that will be released in the coming weeks is pages and menus. We’ll also have a new component that lets you feature a photo slideshow.

We will continue to invest in making more improvements and feature additions to our free websites – stay tuned for more exciting announcements!
