Help connecting your website to the fundraising and campaigning tools your charity relies on, including Engaging Networks, Fundraise Up and Stewardship, so donation and action pages look and feel like the rest of your site.
The problem
Fundraising platforms are powerful, but their pages often look nothing like your website. Supporters notice the jump, trust drops and some leave before they give. Getting the platform, your site and your CRM data to work together takes someone who understands all three.
What I can help with
- Engaging Networks: page templates styled to your brand for donations, petitions and email sign-ups.
- Fundraise Up: adding checkout and campaign elements to your website so they sit naturally in the design.
- Stewardship: setting up giving for churches and Christian charities and linking it into your website’s donation journey, with payments and Gift Aid handled by Stewardship.
- Gift Aid and top-ups on Shopify for charity shops and gift catalogues. See Shopify for charities.
- Consistent journeys from appeal email to website to donation page, using the same design across email templates and site.

CAFOD: Engaging Networks and Fundraise Up. For CAFOD, the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development, I’ve worked on donation and campaign pages across both platforms. The aim was that a supporter moving from a CAFOD appeal to giving through Engaging Networks or Fundraise Up sees the same brand, type and tone all the way through.
Projects Delivering Hope: Stewardship. Projects Delivering Hope is a Wiltshire charity working in South Sudan. Alongside a new brand and website, I set up their giving through Stewardship, the Christian giving platform many of their church supporters use. Donate buttons across the site lead straight to their Stewardship page, which handles payments and Gift Aid. Read the Projects Delivering Hope case study.
For SCIAF’s Real Gifts campaign I built Gift Aid capture and top-up donations into the Shopify checkout, a good example of making a platform’s checkout work for fundraising. Read the SCIAF case study.
