Why Organizers Choose Donations Tracker
Increase Donations with Live Proof
Donors give more when they see real momentum. Automatic updates via PayPal Instant Payment Notification (IPN) immediately update your thermometer, goal bar, and donor wall the moment a contribution completes.
Works Everywhere HTML or Images Work
No plugins, databases, or heavy JavaScript needed. Because our widgets render as live server-generated PNG images, they work effortlessly on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, forums, GitHub READMEs, and even inside email newsletters!
0% Platform Fees — Keep 100%
Donations go straight to your PayPal account. Unlike crowdfunding sites that take 5% or pester your donors for checkout tips, you pay one flat rate of $12/month or $108/year ($9/mo) for unlimited campaigns.
6 Customizable Fundraising Widgets for Every Campaign
Create unlimited views per campaign. Customize dimensions, hex colors, branding labels, net vs. gross totals, currency symbols, and donor name privacy formats.
Vertical Fundraising Thermometer: Classic goal tracking showing goal, amount raised, or donor count.
Horizontal Progress Bar: Compact goal meter ideal for headers, forum banners, and email newsletters.
Recent Donors Wall: Automatically recognizes your latest supporters, amounts, and optional comments.
Number of Donors Badge: Showcase total donor participation alongside custom call-to-action text.
Top Donors Leaderboard: Inspire larger gifts by highlighting your most generous contributors.
