Almost every organization has some sort of website. If that organization raises money, collects donations, or has events, chances are they need a way to direct potential donors and attendees accordingly. How are you supposed to keep all of this up-to-date and organized in a simple, coherent way? That's where your Giving Hub comes in!
What is a Giving Hub? 🌐
A Giving Hub is a central webpage where all your Givebutter campaign information exists. Your Giving Hub provides donors with a high-level overview of what your organization is currently working on.
In addition to general information about your organization, such as your mission statement, it also highlights your ongoing campaigns. Donors can click on these campaigns and donate to them directly, or they can browse to see who has created individual fundraisers on behalf of your organization!
What is a Landing Page? 📝
All Givebutter accounts have a landing page enabled by default. It's a simple, public page that lists your account's active and inactive campaigns. Upgrading your Landing Page to a Giving Hub is free! Just follow the instructions below.
