Almost every organization has some sort of website. And if that organization raises money, collects donations, or has events, chances are they need a way to direct potential donors and attendees accordingly. But 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?
A Landing Page is enabled by default for all Givebutter accounts. It's a simple, public page that lists the campaigns on your account. If you'd like to upgrade your Landing Page to a Giving Hub, it's free to do so! Just follow the instructions below.
