People visit a donation page intending to donate. So why doesn’t every donation form enjoy a near-100% conversion rate? The answer lies in distractions. Or, more specifically, unintentional distractions. Read this article to identify whether you’re unknowingly compromising the efficacy of your donation form. And, crucially, what you can do to improve the situation. READ THE PIECE: https://lnkd.in/gPEkNDzs

Today is the day...YOUR DONATION DOUBLES this #GivingTuesday Thanks to the incredible generosity of a kind-hearted donor, every donation you make today will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to a total of $5,500. Your gift, no matter the size, will have double the impact. Here's how you can get involved: 1. Donate Today: https://bit.ly/4eXL3YO Every dollar counts, and TODAY, it counts twice as much. Your $25 becomes $50, your $50 becomes $100, and so on. Your contribution will directly support our mission of holding government accountable. 2. Spread the Word: Help us reach our goal by sharing this opportunity with your friends, family, and colleagues. Encourage them to give and have their donations matched as well. 3. Follow Our Progress: Throughout today, we'll be sharing updates on our progress. You'll be able to see how your contribution is helping us get closer to our target.

Tomorrow is GivingTuesday, a day for radical generosity. Many of our members are non-profit organizations that do what they do out of a sense of purpose, rather than for financial gain. Tomorrow, we encourage you to donate if you're able. Consider planning your donation now, if you haven't already! Who will you donate to? (If your organization would benefit from a GivingTuesday donation, make a comment to help others know where they can give!) How much will you donate? What time will you make your donation? (Set yourself a reminder at this time!) These donations really do make a difference, and are greatly appreciated. If you're unable to donate, you can also consider supporting our members in other ways: - Sign up to volunteer at an event - Subscribe to a local festival's newsletter, - Share their events with friends and family, - Follow them on social media - Make a concrete plan to attend their events! (Pencil it into your calendar!) Tomorrow, let's make the biggest impact we can!

Friction is great for physics but terrible for fundraising… Specifically on your donation pages… Keeping the donation form simple is crucial, as too much friction will cause donors to leave. 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐀𝐁 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Test removing unnecessary form fields on your donation page. They may be adding friction to the giving process and creating confusion. One organization did just that and removed unnecessary steps, including: - A comment field - An option to cover the credit card processing fee - An option to give a gift on behalf of someone The result: A 107% increase in donations! So, as you set up your donation page, ask yourself: “Is that field really necessary?” If it’s not essential to complete the transaction, you probably don’t need it. #Nonprofit #OnlineFundraising #ABTesting #NextAfter

Do your appeals have a “big number” problem? Do you pitch out an appeal remarking about the millions of people who experience a problem? You’re making a mistake — here’s why. People have a hard time relating to big numbers. If you send an appeal that tells a story of 800 million people going to bed hungry tonight, the average donor doesn't believe his $50 is going to make a difference. What will $50 do to make a dent in this large of a problem? Instead, tell a story of one person the reader could help. The story helps the reader connect to someone he can see himself helping with his $50 donation. Use the big numbers to reinforce the donation decision. #fundraising
