Harness the power of peer-to-peer fundraising to grow your organization's reach and raise more money.
WP Charity is the premier plugin for running powerful peer-to-peer fundraising campaigns in WordPress. You can use it to leverage your supporters' network of friends and family to reach more people, helping you spread awareness for your cause and grow your fundraising in an organic way.
Organizations like Mellon Educate have started using p2p fundraising as a key way for them to expand their reach. With a WordPress plugin like WP Charity, your organization can take a leaf out of their book and run your own peer-to-peer fundraising campaigns, directly from your website.
Unlike most peer-to-peer fundraising platforms, WP Charity does not charge any transaction fees. For peer-to-peer fundraising campaigns, which typically raise a lot of money, this adds up to significant savings.
Consider this: With a hosted platform charging 5% for every transaction, your organization would lose $5000 on transaction fees for every $100,000 you raise. By contrast, you can get WP Charity with an affordable annual fee, saving you thousands of dollars.
Creating a fundraiser should be a fast, easy process for your supporters. With WP Charity, you can customize your fundraising setup form and make it as streamlined as possible.
The WP Charity plugin also allows you to create a crowdfunding platform, similar to GoFundMe. Simply enable the option for campaign creators to set up campaigns for personal causes, and they will be able to create fundraisers for their own need.
Give people a place to fundraise for their own cause and build a crowdfunding platform focused on your local area, a specific cause, or your own unique angle.
