Ever scrolled through a donation form, faced with only the option to donate to a general fund and wondered where’s the impact? Sometimes donation forms go one step further by including a bland dropdown menu of program names or initiatives, but either way traditional forms lack context, leaving donors feeling disconnected from their giving. It’s like choosing from a restaurant menu with no descriptions—you don’t know what you’re really supporting.
With CauseVox’s Fund Pages, you can bring your nonprofit’s programs to life, offering donors a rich, personalized giving experience that connects them directly to the impact of their contributions.
What Is A Fund Page?
CauseVox’s fund pages make giving feel personal. Instead of a boring dropdown menu with vague program names, fund pages bring your nonprofit’s work to life with real stories, impactful visuals, and clear explanations of how donations make a difference.
When donors truly understand where their money is going, they feel more connected—and that connection leads to bigger, more frequent gifts over time. Think about it: would you rather select “Food Program” from a list or see exactly how your $50 provides a week of meals for a family in need? By giving donors a deeper look into your initiatives, CauseVox’s fund pages turn casual supporters into lifelong champions of your cause.

Benefits of Implementing Fund Pages
1. Enhanced Donor Connection
People don’t just give to nonprofits—they give to people, to stories, to impact, to something they can feel connected to. That’s where CauseVox’s Fund Pages shine.
A fund page can include powerful visuals, compelling stories, and real-life examples of how donations create change. Whether it’s a video of a family receiving meals or a testimonial from a student whose scholarship changed their future, these details make giving personal. When donors can see and feel the impact of their gift, they don’t just give once—they become part of the mission.
2. Transparency And Trust
Trust is everything when it comes to fundraising—especially for younger donors. In fact, the #1 barrier for Gen Z donors is understanding where and how their donation will be used. That’s why transparency isn’t just nice to have—it’s a must.
With CauseVox’s fund pages, you can show exactly how donations make an impact. Real-time progress bars let donors see how close you are to your goal, while donor lists create a sense of community. Plus, detailed descriptions of how funds are used remove any guesswork. When supporters can see their gift making a difference, they feel more confident giving—and more likely to give again.
Using a progress bar and fund designations creates a sense of transparency.
3. Simplified Donation Process
Giving should be easy, not a maze of confusing steps. With CauseVox’s fund pages, your donors can give directly to the program they care about. The donation form is built right into each fund page, so supporters can contribute in just a few clicks.

How To Build Your Fund Pages
1. Create A Fund Home Page
A fund home page is your central hub—a place where donors can browse all the programs and initiatives they can support. It brings your mission into focus and gives supporters an easy way to explore the causes that matter most to them. Think of it like a storefront for your impact.
To make your fund page as effective as possible, here are a few tips on what to include:
Clear Fund Descriptions
On the fund home page, each fund should have a short, compelling blurb that clearly explains what it supports. Use donor-friendly language that captures both the mission and the outcome. Instead of just “Education Fund,” you can include a description such as “help provide school supplies and mentorship to underserved youth.” It should take just a few seconds for someone to understand the purpose of each fund.

Navigation
Make it super easy for donors to browse and find what they’re looking for. Organize funds by theme, need, or community, and consider adding a search bar or filters (like “Urgent Needs” or “Youth Programs”). A clean, intuitive layout helps people explore without getting overwhelmed.
Calls to Action
Your fund home page should include a clear, inviting “Give Now” button. Don’t bury it! These CTAs should stand out visually and be placed close to the fund description so donors can take immediate action without scrolling or clicking around too much. It also helps if your CTA button is in a bright color like yellow in the example above.
And don’t forget—branding matters. Keep your colors, fonts, tone, and logo consistent across all fund pages and your homepage. This not only reinforces your organization’s identity but also builds trust and makes the entire giving experience feel cohesive and professional.
2. Create A Page For Each Fund
Once you have your fund home page set up, it’s time to set up your template for your fund pages so you can quickly make dedicated pages for each fund. This allows you to go beyond a basic title or line in a dropdown menu and really bring each initiative to life. With a full page to work with for each fund, you can show donors exactly what their gift supports—and why it matters.
Your base template for your fund pages should include key elements like a headline, image space, description area, donation form, and sections for storytelling and updates.
Once you have that structure in place, you can customize each page with specific content—unique visuals, personalized stories, and relevant impact stats—tailored to the individual fund. This keeps your site clean and cohesive while giving each program its own voice.
On every fund page, aim to include impactful visuals. Photos and videos that show the real people behind your mission make an emotional connection that words alone can’t. Whether it’s a child receiving school supplies or a community garden in bloom, let donors see their impact.

Pair those visuals with compelling storytelling. Use narratives and testimonials from beneficiaries or team members to highlight the importance of each fund. A short quote or personal story can go a long way in showing the real-world change that donor dollars create. These stories not only add heart—they build trust and connection.
You can include a quote from a beneficiary on your fund page like Scouting America did.
Finally, consider incorporating some dynamic elements on your fund pages like real-time progress indicators and a donor board to create a sense of community and urgency. These features not only add transparency but also give supporters the feeling that they’re part of something active and meaningful.
By combining a clear structure with personalized, powerful content, each fund page becomes a mini-campaign of its own—one that invites donors into the story and shows them how they can make a difference.
3. Customize Your Donation Form
Your donation form shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all—it should feel just as thoughtful as the rest of the fundraising experience you create for your donors. Customizing your form is a simple way to meet donors where they are and make giving easy (and even enjoyable!).
Start by adding donation tiers that show what different gift amounts can accomplish—like $25 = school supplies for one child, or $100 = a week of meals for a family. It helps donors visualize their impact.
Then, offer different giving options like one-time gifts, recurring donations, or even pledges.
You can incorporate a pledge payment option on your fund donation page with CauseVox.
Don’t forget about payment flexibility—today’s donors expect choices. Make sure your form accepts credit cards, mobile wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay, and even ACH/bank transfers for those larger gifts. A smooth, donor-friendly form removes friction and makes it more likely they’ll hit “submit” with confidence.
Strategies to Boost Donor Engagement Through Fund Pages
1. Personalized Communication
No one likes to feel like just another name on a list—and your donors are no different. When you personalize your communications based on their past giving and interests, it makes a huge difference.
If someone has donated to your youth mentorship program, send updates and appeals related to that specific fund, not a generic ask. When your messages reflect what donors actually care about, they’re more likely to open, engage, and give again.
With CauseVox’s fund pages, it’s easy to segment your outreach and send the right message to the right people—making every email feel like a personal invitation to continue making an impact.
2. Impact Reporting
Donors want to know their gift mattered—and honestly, who wouldn’t? That’s where impact reporting comes in. Use your fund page as a place to regularly update supporters on what their contributions have accomplished.
Share stories, photos, and outcomes that tie directly back to the fund they supported. Did a recent donation help build a new classroom? Fund a week of emergency shelter? Let them know! When donors see the real results of their generosity, it reinforces their trust and encourages them to stay connected (and keep giving).
3. Social Media Integration
Your fund pages aren’t just for your website—they’re perfect for sharing across social media too. Whether you’re posting an urgent need, a donor milestone, or a heartwarming success story, link directly to the relevant fund page so people can take action on the spot.
Social media is a powerful tool to amplify your reach, and when you make it easy for your supporters to engage with and share your content, you’re expanding your network with every post. The more visibility your programs have, the more likely new donors are to discover—and support—your cause.
Bring Your Programs to Life—And Your Donors Along with You
At the end of the day, donors don’t just want to give—they want to feel connected, inspired, and confident that their gift is making a real difference. Traditional forms with only an option to donate to the general fund or basic dropdown menus just don’t cut it anymore. With CauseVox’s fund pages, you can turn every program into a powerful story, create meaningful donor experiences, and raise more support for the work that matters most.
