Learn how Donation Pages differ from Crowdfunding Campaigns and decide which is best for you.
DoJiggy offers two convenient options for accepting flat donations: a Donation Page and a Crowdfunding Campaign. Both have unique features and can be used for different purposes. Explore the differences between these two fundraising styles to help decide which will best suit your needs.
Donation Pages
Donation Pages offer donors a streamlined, one-page donation experience aimed toward convenience and speed. Donation Pages have no end date, allowing you to accept donations year-round even when you're not hosting a scheduled fundraiser. They're ideal if you want to accept recurring donations.
Crowdfunding Campaigns
Crowdfunding Campaigns are fundraisers that have a scheduled beginning and end date. Crowdfunding Campaigns can also be combined with other fundraising activities to create a unique fundraiser that suits your organization's needs. You can also:
- Offer Perks for various donation levels
- Add images, videos, and an organization description to your Campaign Page
- Add Peer-to-Peer fundraising so your supporters can get involved and help raise funds

Features for Both Options
Donation Pages and Crowdfunding Campaigns both have the following features:
- Text-to-Give capability: Promote your Campaigns with Text to Donate (Text to Give)
- Widgets you can add to your organization website: Create a Widget for Your Campaign or Donation Page
- Customizable preset donation amounts with optional images and descriptions for donors to choose from
- Donation designation options that allow donors to choose how their donations are used: How-to: Create Donation Designation Options Using the Fund Feature
- Custom fields to collect donor data during checkout: How can I Ask Questions to Collect Information From Donors or Participants?
- Payment method options so you control how donors can pay: Which payment methods does DoJiggy accept?
- Confirmation emails that are automatically sent to the donor and act as tax receipts
- Reports you can download to organize and analyze your data: Donation Page Reports
-
Recurring donation setup so donors can send the same donation monthly, weekly, etc.
- Note that when your Crowdfunding Campaign ends, all recurring donations set up through the Campaign will be canceled. If you want to increase the number of recurring donations your organization receives, we suggest setting up a Donation Page, as they're intended to remain active for longer.
