# 💖 Adding Donation Pages
Auctria makes it easy to collect donations through your event website. Whether you're running a seasonal giving campaign or spotlighting specific causes at your main event, donation tools are built right into the platform.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to:
- Use Auctria’s built-in donation pages
- Set up dedicated donation events for Black Philanthropy Month and Giving Tuesday
- Add or customize a donation page on your event website
Donation Pages are a built-in feature of Auctria websites. These pages can display a cash donation option (with optional giving levels) or showcase specific Donation Items—projects or causes guests can give to directly.
Donation pages support:
- General cash donations with optional progress trackers 🧡
- Fund-a-Need or multi-cause giving campaigns using Donation Items
- In-person giving through QR code displays and printable signage
If you’re using one of Auctria’s website templates, your donation page is already created and ready to customize!
If your event doesn’t have a donation page—or you’d like to build a custom one—you can easily add one to your site.
# To Add a Donation Page:
- On the left sidebar, click Event Website then click Edit Website.
- Click Manage pages in the left sidebar.
- Name your page (e.g.
“Support Our Cause”or“Donate”) and click Add New Page.
- In the page editor, drag More Row Content onto the page.
- Choose the Donation element from the list.
