How to Build and Design Your Fundraising Page

In this article, we will show you how to use the Fundraiser Builder to design your fundraising page.

Adding Sections

Sections are the core building blocks of your fundraiser page.

  1. Click the blue + button between any two existing sections to add a new section.
  2. Once added, sections can be rearranged, duplicated, or deleted using the toolbar on the side of each section block.

Recommended Sections

When building your page, consider adding any of the following:

  • Driver Previews -- lets donors participate directly in your fundraiser. Options include Donation Preview, Silent Auction Preview, Raffle Preview, Rules of Play, and Live Auction Preview. Available options depend on your fundraiser type.
  • Sponsor Section -- display sponsor logos and acknowledge your event partners.
  • Impact Section -- highlight the outcomes of your initiative with specific achievements or statistics to show donors the value of their contribution.
  • Feature Section -- a versatile space to spotlight key highlights or unique attributes of your event.
  • Fundraiser Activity -- a real-time feed showing fundraising progress, donor contributions, and goal tracking to build momentum and encourage continued participation.
  • Custom Section -- a flexible space to add text, images, and videos that don't fit into a predefined section type.

Customizing Sections

Each section has a toolbar on its side with options to adjust its appearance and position.

Header Section

  • Layout -- change the visual layout or background image
  • Gradient -- add or remove a color gradient overlay over the background

The header background image is intentionally blurred to keep your event card easy to read. If you prefer a solid color, create a plain-colored image and upload it as the background. We do not recommend duplicating the header section.

All Other Sections

  • Background -- change the background color to match your branding
  • Move -- use the up/down arrows to reorder sections on the page
  • Duplicate -- copy a section to reuse its layout and content
  • Delete -- remove a section from your page

Formatting Text

  1. Highlight any text on your page to reveal the text formatting menu.
  2. Use the Style options to adjust font size, color, headings, and bullet points.
  3. Click the Chain icon to add a hyperlink to selected text.

Design Settings

Page Colors

Navigate to Page Design on your sidebar menu.

  • Primary Color -- updates button colors and heading text across the page
  • Secondary Color -- used for the fundraising thermometer and highlighted elements

Header Design

Under Site Header on your sidebar menu, you can customize the navigation bar at the top of your page:
