Over $85,000 Raised from 750 Donations by Focusing on Community Impact

Our Zeffy form: https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/donation-form/65c3a618-98fc-4ff0-9e3a-231741d1f63d

Why we love it

At New Hope Community Bikes, we wanted our donation form to feel like an extension of our mission. Rather than focusing on organizational needs or fundraising goals, the form focuses on the people and communities that benefit from each donation.

We thank supporters first, then clearly show how their gifts help get more kids on bikes, create skill development and employment opportunities for youth, and provide accessible transportation options for people who need reliable ways to get to work, school, and services. We believe this clear connection between giving and impact helped the form raise $85,000 through 750 donations.

What's one thing we'd repeat

Write your donation page from the donor's perspective. Use language like "your gift will help" and "your contribution is making an impact" so supporters can immediately understand the difference they're making. The more clearly people can see the outcome of their donation, the more likely they are to give.
