You work hard to create eye-catching & informative designs (hello, Canva!) & appeals that you share with potential donors via:

  • Targeted Emails & E-Newsletters

  • Social Media Posts

  • Special Events (In-Person & Virtual)

  • Connected Partners & Corporations

  • & more

Harness specializes in providing your donors a quick, easy & gratifying donation & stewardship experience via our default (uncustomized) giving forms (found in the FUNDRAISING tab in your Harness Admin Dashboard).

We've made it easy for you to start sharing your fundraising pages TODAY. πŸŽ‰

Important Notes!

  • For CAMPAIGNS - When you want to connect a campaign you created with a customized giving form for that campaign, simply create the campaign 1st, create a giving form that highlights that campaign specifically as the primary/only option, then edit your campaign to connect it to your giving form (Options > Edit > Advanced Options > Checkout > Save).

  • If you need to direct donors to a more robust page of details to give, we encourage you to create a landing page on your website featuring this information (campaign details, etc.) and link the "Donate Now" button on that page to Harness (like this partner did).

  • If you're unable or do not prefer to create your own landing pages on your website featuring this custom text, we also recommend checking out Canva's website landing page options & how to share.

What customizations CANNOT be made to my fundraising pages?

  • Text alterations (ex: changing title/headline on the page from "Make a donation" to "Buy a Ticket")

  • Changing organization branded colors here specifically to a campaign

  • If you offer multiple campaign selections within one giving page, the customized giving page options for that campaign cannot automatically be displayed. Only one giving page's settings can be displayed at a time.
