Creating a donation website changed everything for my local animal welfare organization. Before, we struggled with cash and check donations, manually tracking each contribution. Now, we receive donations 24/7, even while our staff sleeps.
Online donations have become the backbone of modern fundraising. Whether you’re running a non-profit, managing a church, or supporting a cause, having a dedicated donation website makes it easier for supporters to contribute to your mission.
After testing various platforms and plugins, I’ve found Charitable to be the most straightforward solution. It’s perfect for organizations that want to start accepting donations without getting tangled in complex technical setups. The main reason I considered this plugin was that it was the most affordable one. I went in with low expectations for the price, but it blew me away with just how powerful and comprehensive it is.
In this guide, I’ll show you exactly how to create a donation website using my #1 recommended method – WordPress and Charitable. You’ll learn how to set up donation forms, manage campaigns, and track contributions.
