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.

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 may not want your funds to appear on all campaigns. Use this to hide them.

✅ Pro tip: Using funds doesn't separate the donations within your payout account. It adds a label to each donation so you can designate its use within your internal bookkeeping.
