Many organizations rely on designations (funds) to allocate incoming donations to the right place, allowing donors to directly support specific areas of need that matter to them most.
Our Funds feature is the perfect way to track dollars to specific funds across all of your campaigns on Givebutter.
How Funds / Donation Designations work
💰 Account-wide funds
Add your funds at the Account-level, and then sync them with any campaign on Givebutter in a matter of seconds. Donors will be able to select from a dropdown on your campaign(s) accordingly.
🤩 Default fund
Set a fund to be selected as the default for any campaign, and optionally allow donors to modify this if they want to.
🙈 Hide fund selection
You might be running a campaign entirely for a specific fund and would like every donation credited to that fund. Combining this feature and the "Default fund" feature above gives you the flexibility to apply all donations on a campaign to a specific fund.
✅ Pro tip: Using funds doesn't separate the donations within your payout account. It adds a label to each donation so you can designate it's use within your internal bookkeeping.
