Your website is one of your strongest fundraising tools, especially when deadlines are tight. A well-designed website helps supporters find what they need and take action quickly.

This month, we’re highlighting a Marketing resource from the Charity Resource Hub: “3 Website Design Tips to Meet Your Fundraising Deadlines” from AFP Global.

Here are a few key takeaways:

- Make your donation page clear, simple, and mobile-friendly so supporters can give without frustration

- Design campaign landing pages that highlight your mission, deadlines, and ways to participate

- Use intuitive navigation so visitors can easily find donation buttons, events, or impact stories

- When your website serves your audience clearly and efficiently, supporters are more likely to engage, donate, and take action.

Explore the full resource on charityresourcehub.ca under the Marketing section.
