Set up a dedicated fundraising page in support of your cause with custom styling and additional donations. Read on to see how you can transform your Humanitix event page into a force for good ✨
Fundraising pages are suited to events where no tickets need to be issued and often there is no actual event being run at a certain time.
Create your fundraising event page
Fundraising and donation pages are created using the same method as any other event.
Click create event in the top right and build out your event with some key considerations:
Date/time
The start and end date should encompass how long you intend to capture donations for.
For example, if you're fundraising for 3 months, then set the date to Jan 1st - March 31st
Location
All Humanitix events will need a "location". However, since none is specified, you can use either:
Online - and specify all donations will be taken online
Custom - to help specify any additional information
Add a donation item
Donation items are different to ticket types. They have no capacity and do not generate any digital ticket for a buyer.
Navigate to the ticket > ticket types page
Click + donation under donations
Include the name of the cause you are supporting as the “Donation name”
Optional: click the settings ⚙️ icon to add a description and further configure donating options with amount range or a list of amounts. By default, attendees will be able to enter any amount over '$0'
If you do not need to sell any tickets then you can delete your remaining ticket type after you have created your donation option.
Click the delete icon to the right of the ticket type.
Change your "get tickets" button to "donate"
Head to the design & comms > styling page of your event
Select ticket button text and choose donate from the list of options
You can also use the custom option to enter any text you like
Automatically issue tax-deductible receipts
If your cause is registered with a charity body you can automate a tax deductible receipt is generated for each donation.
These receipts are itemised on their tax invoices sent to them with their confirmation email after making a donation.
Head to payments and fees > settings while managing your event and select DGR receipts
Choose who pays the booking fees
By default, booking fees are passed onto the ticket buyer. You can choose to absorb these fees which are deducted from the donation before being paid out to you
Navigate to payments and fees > settings and select booking fees while managing your event
>> See the full guide on how to choose who pays the booking fee
Donations are subject to booking fees but are charged the discounted 'charity' rate.
See the pricings page on the Humanitix website for the latest fee structures for each currency.
