How to Set Up a Donation Website for Giving Tuesday

Your nonprofit can create a Giving Tuesday-specific donation website on GiveSignup. 

1. Start here: givesignup.org/DonationWebsite/New

2. Complete the Donation Website Wizard.

Add your logo, donation message (customize this for your Giving Tuesday ask!), URL, and payment settings. 

3. Turn on donations. 

In your Donation Website Dashboard >> Donations >> Donations Setup, customize the settings for your donations. 

Donations Setup >> General Settings: 

Enter your donation message and logo. Set open/close dates for donations (if needed). 

You can turn on recurring donations here as well:

At the bottom, add donation levels:

These will display as clickable amounts on your donation page: 

Under Donations Setup >> Tax Deductible Info, you should add the nonprofit's Tax ID and address, as well as the tax deductible percentage (generally 100%). This will show in the donation confirmation email.

4. Customize the site. 

You can add your nonprofit's colors in Donation Website >> Webpage >> Page Theme. You can also use one of our preset color themes.

Next, add a Cover Page: Dashboard >> Donation Website >> Webpage >> Cover Page. This is a great way to customize your site and add all the content you need. You can add text, videos, images, and data-driven components like a dynamic donation goal thermometer. 

Cover Page Tips 

• Add call to action buttons to the donation page, as well as to your main website
• Create a short video (1-2 minutes) for Giving Tuesday, upload to YouTube, and add it to your cover page
• Use our text editor and overlay capabilities to add text to your images; this will scale better to different size screens than uploading graphics with lots of text as images
