Beginner's Guide: ThankGiving Campaigns

The days of donation links and form-embedding are over!  With ThankGiving, you can collect donations quickly and easily, directly from your Landing Page! In addition to sending personalized videos to connect with your donors, you’re now able to build engaging custom forms with built-in donation tracking, so you can receive gifts and thank your donors all in one place!

ThankGiving is essentially everything you love about ThankView, with more than a few added benefits, including:

  • The ability for donors to give in as few as 3 clicks with mobile (all major cards and alternative payment methods accepted)
  • Fundraising leaderboards to help your team track their progress
  • A donation tracker in your Metrics (check ROI in real-time!)
  • A lot more!

ThankGiving is available to Starter, Pro, and Premium clients.
