Donation pages are an organized way to raise money for specific initiatives. Kindful Fundraising hosts your donation page.
You can create as many donation pages as you need. Donation pages appear on your Main Donation Page in the Select an Initiative list. You can also link donation pages to Crowdfunding Causes. Kindful Fundraising transactions map to Bloomerang CRM funds, campaigns, and appeals.
On donation pages, donors can pay with a credit card, bank account, or digital wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, or Venmo). For more information about payment methods, view Payment Methods in Kindful Fundraising.
Donors can also sign in to their donor portal account from donation pages.
