Team Tribute Pages

GLOBAL

We’ve renamed In Memory Collection Pages to Team Tribute Pages, and now they offer the same special page creation, customisation, and admin experience as other pages on JustGiving.

• Team Tribute Pages work the same way as In Memory Collection pages and showcase team members raising money for a shared cause or charity in memory of a loved one.
• Fundraisers get the latest features available for other Page types, including the ability to customise their Page’s Cover and Story through the new page admin.
• Your charity’s reporting won’t be impacted, as data from both In Memory Collection Pages and Team Tribute Pages will remain within the same reporting fields.
• In Memory Collection Pages with only one Fundraising Page connected to them will become a standalone In Memory Fundraising Page.

Campaign Pages

Enhanced Campaign Page design

GLOBAL

We’ve refreshed and organised the Campaign Page design for better readability and personalisation. These updates all add up to a much-improved experience for supporters visiting Campaign Pages.

• Cleaner, brighter page background to matching the Fundraising Page design.
• Readability enhancements across the entire page.
• Better personalisation with customised icons in Supporter List.
• ​Improved charity information layout in Footer section to give your charity story more visibility.

Homepage

Search

GLOBAL

One of the top ways people find fundraisers on JustGiving is by searching for them on the justgiving.com. We have made the search bar more prominent on the JustGiving homepage, which has already led to 5% more searches, plus a subsequent rise in donations to charities.

Improved fundraiser journey

GLOBAL

Fundraisers can start raising money faster and easier, right from the JustGiving home page, with improved guidance and information specific to their region to inspire and motivate.

Donations & Receipts

PDF Receipts

GLOBAL

Donation receipts will now be issued as downloadable PDF files for improved charity compliance and a better donor experience.

• Logged-in donors and guest donors will receive a link to their downloadable PDF receipt via email, following a successful donation.

Reach thousands of potential new supporters (with no extra work)
