Learn how Donation Pages differ from Crowdfunding Campaigns and decide which is best for you.

RallyUp offers two convenient options for accepting flat donations: a Donation Page and a Crowdfunding Campaign. Both have unique features and can be used for different purposes. Explore the differences between these two fundraising styles to help decide which will best suit your needs. 

Donation Pages

Donation Pages offer donors a streamlined, one-page donation experience aimed toward convenience and speed. Donation Pages have no end date, allowing you to accept donations year-round even when you're not hosting a scheduled fundraiser.

Donation Page features include:

• Donation StoryButtons for preset donation amounts
• Smart Funds Allocation options that allow donors to choose how their donations are used
• Recurring Donation Upsell to encourage donors to switch a one-time donation to a recurring donation

Crowdfunding Campaigns

Crowdfunding Campaigns are fundraisers that have a scheduled beginning and end date. Crowdfunding Campaigns can also be combined with other fundraising activities to create a unique fundraiser that suits your organization's needs.

When you create a Crowdfunding Campaign, you can:

• Offer Perks for various donation levels
• Add images, videos, and an organization description to your Campaign Page
• Add Peer-to-Peer fundraising so your supporters can get involved and help raise funds

Both Options

Donation Pages and Crowdfunding Campaigns both have the following features:

• Text-to-Give capability: How-to: Promote Your Campaign with Text-to-Give
• Widgets you can add to your organization website: How-to: Create a Widget for Your Campaign or Donation Page
• Customizable preset donation amounts for donors to choose from
• Custom fields to collect donor data during checkout: How-to: Create Custom Questions to Collect Donor Information
• Payment method options so you control how donors can pay: Understand: Accepted Payment Methods
• Confirmation emails that are automatically sent to the donor and act as tax receipts
• Reports you can download to organize and analyze your data: Understand: Donation Page Reports
• Recurring donation setup so donors can send the same donation monthly, weekly, etc.
  • Note that when your Crowdfunding Campaign ends, all recurring donations set up through the Campaign will be canceled. If you want to increase the number of recurring donations your organization receives, we suggest setting up a Donation Page, as they're intended to remain active for longer.
