What is a giving page?+
A giving page is the page where donors give online. In FundEasy, your Easy Giving Page is your default donate page, ready to publish once you connect Stripe, and you can build more pages for specific campaigns or audiences. Each page carries your banner and brand color, offers one-time and recurring gifts, sends automated tax receipts, and keeps its own total.
What is the difference between a giving page and a crowdfunding page?+
A giving page is always on. It has no goal and no end date, and it is where general giving lands all year. A crowdfunding page is a campaign: it has a goal, a visible total, an optional progress meter and leaderboard, and usually a deadline. Both are giving pages in the same module, and both offer recurring giving. Crowdfunding has its own feature page with the full detail.
Can we have more than one giving page?+
Yes. Build a separate page per appeal or per audience, each with its own copy, its own banner, and its own total. That is how a segmented year-end appeal works: the letter to your board points at one page and the letter to lapsed donors points at another, and in January you can see which one did what.
Can donors set up a monthly gift?+
Yes, on any giving page and any template. Recurring giving is offered at the moment someone is already giving, which is the moment they are most likely to say yes. Your summary band separates one-time from recurring gifts and new donors from recurring donors while the campaign is live.
Can donors log in and manage their own giving?+
Not today. A donor who wants to change or cancel a monthly gift asks your team, and an admin makes the change on their behalf. Participant fundraisers are different: on peer-to-peer, baby bottle, and birthday pages, participants manage their own page, photo, story, and goal through a magic link. They don't need a password or an account.
How do we record checks and cash?+
An admin logs them as offline transactions against a contact, optionally attached to a page or a participant. Cash, check, and wire gifts count in the same totals as online gifts, and on the leaderboard when the page has one. The number on the page is the whole campaign, not just the part that came in through Stripe.
Do donors get a receipt automatically?+
Yes. A tax receipt goes out automatically for every gift made on any of your giving pages, one-time or monthly. Your team doesn't have to write or send receipts for online gifts by hand. Recurring donors get a receipt each time their gift processes.
