Donation Bar Widget

The Philantro Donation Bar Widget gives you the power to add passive donation solicitation to every page. When added to strategic locations, for example the bottom of every blog post, each page provides an opportunity for your supporters to donate a custom amount or one of up-to 5 suggested amounts that you control. You can customize the donation button text, color scheme and/or specify a specific donation campaign from your Philantro account via data-attributes.

  • Supported By
  • Squarespace, WordPress, Weebly and most others.
  • Not Supported By
  • Wix, Google Sites or GoDaddy Website Builder.

Live Example

Philantro's Donation Bar Widget is mobile responsive and automatically takes the width of whatever container it's placed in. It's a novel way of adding a tactful donation call-to-action to the bottom of every content-heavy webpage.


Integration Code

On line 1 below, replace "AMOUNT-AMOUNT" with up-to 4 amounts separated by a hyphen.

The following assumes you already you have the Philantro integration working on your website. If you do not, consult the Integration documentation first. Add the following code snippet to the area you would like the donation bar widget to appear. The donation bar widget takes the width of its parent container. If you're using a website builder, consult their respective documentation regarding embedding HTML content. At the time of this write-up, Philantro Fundraising Widget is fully supported by all popular website builders we've encountered except for Wix, Google Sites and GoDaddy Website Builder.

  • The Philantro integration is a prerequisite.
