Nonprofit Crowdfunding

Hit the goal. Keep the donors.

Launch a story-driven campaign page with a live goal, put your supporters to work raising alongside you, and finish with every backer on your own donor record — not stranded on someone else’s platform.

Powering nonprofit crowdfunding since 2010

Built for how a crowdfunding campaign actually runs

1

Tell the story properly

In crowdfunding, your story does most of the fundraising.

Drag-and-drop campaign page with story sections, photos, and video — room to make the case, not a donate button bolted to a paragraph. Add impact metrics so a donor sees what their gift buys, not just what it costs.

2

Show the momentum

Supporters give more readily when they can see that others already have.

A live fundraising thermometer, a running donation count, a countdown to your deadline, and a continuously updating list of recent supporters — so a visitor arriving on day nine sees a campaign that’s moving. A matching gift campaign gives that visitor a reason to give today rather than later, and the thermometer counts the match as it lands.

3

Let your supporters carry it

Your supporters can reach people your own list never will.

Peer-to-peer pages for individuals and teams, each with a personal goal and story that rolls up to your campaign total, with a leaderboard to keep it competitive. This is how a crowdfunding campaign reaches people who’ve never heard of you.

4

Make giving frictionless

Most of this traffic arrives from a phone, from a link someone shared.

Mobile-first checkout with Card, ACH, PayPal, Venmo, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. One-time, monthly, or pledge. Donors can cover processing fees. Point gifts at a specific fund if the project has parts.

5

Keep everyone you just met

Keeping the donors is what turns one campaign into the next one.

Every backer lands in your donor records with their full history — not on a platform that owns the relationship. Thank them by name, add them to your newsletter, and set up an automated series that keeps them updated on the project they funded. Your campaign email, your stewardship, and your regular marketing all run from the same place. The campaign ends. The list doesn’t.

2.5× more raised $20,000 this year, up from $8,000 on other platforms

Using CauseVox has helped us raise $20,000 this year as compared to $8,000 last year on other platforms. When we switched to CauseVox, we saved over $1,000 in fees, and we’ve been able to run campaigns and events with less complexity.

Common questions

How is this different from a consumer crowdfunding site?

The donors are yours. Every backer lands in your own donor records with their full history, so you can thank them, report back on the project, and invite them to keep giving — instead of finishing the campaign with a payout and a spreadsheet.

Can our supporters fundraise for the campaign too?

Yes. Individuals and teams get their own pages with personal goals and stories, rolling up to your campaign total, with leaderboards to keep it competitive.

Do we need a deadline?

No, but they help. A countdown and a visible goal give people a reason to give now rather than later — though the campaign can run open-ended if that fits the project better.

Can donors give to a specific part of the project?

Yes. Fund designations let donors direct their gift to a specific piece, each with its own page, description, goal, and live progress.

Can we accept checks alongside online gifts?

Yes. Offline gifts are logged alongside online ones so your public total reflects everything raised.

What happens after the campaign ends?

Your donor records, giving history, and email tools are all still there — the campaign is a page on your platform, not a separate account you close.

What does it cost?

There’s a free plan you can start on with no credit card, and paid plans start at $100/month with no commitment. See pricing for the details.
