Personalised Donation Links allow you to give each of your key supporters or fundraisers their own unique donation experience — complete with pre-set donation amounts and custom messages.
You can upload a list of supporters and their suggested donation options using our simple spreadsheet template. Once uploaded, each supporter will receive their own unique donation link that reflects the data you’ve provided.
This article covers:
How to Access the Feature
- Login to your GoFundraise Dashboard.
- In the left-hand menu, click Supporters.
- Select Personalised Donation Links.
Tip: You’ll only see this option if you have permission to manage campaigns or supporter data.
Step by Step Guide
Step 1: Download the Template
Click Download Template to get the spreadsheet you’ll use to upload your data.
The spreadsheet includes the following columns:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| First_Name | Supporter’s first name |
| Last_Name | Supporter’s last name |
| Company_Name | Optional — leave blank if not relevant |
| Required — used to generate the personalised link | |
| Donation_Amount_1 – Donation_Amount_6 | The suggested donation amounts (numbers only) |
| Donation_Description_1 – Donation_Description_6 | Short text that appears under each amount (e.g., “Funds one meal”) |
| Donation_ImagePath_1 – Donation_ImagePath_6 | Optional — link to an image to display with that amount |
| Message | A personalised message that appears on the donation page |
| URL | Leave blank — this will be auto-generated after upload |
Step 2: Fill in the Spreadsheet
When filling out the spreadsheet:
- Include at least 6 donation amounts per supporter
- Do not include the “$” sign in the amount fields (enter 100 not $100)
- You can include an image URL for each amount, but it’s optional
- Keep your donation descriptions short and meaningful (e.g., “Buys art supplies for one child”)
Once completed, save your file as .CSV or .XLSX format.
Step 3: Upload Your File
- Return to the Personalised Donation Links section in your dashboard.
- Click Upload File and select your completed spreadsheet.
- Review your data in the preview window before confirming.
- Click Generate Links to create each supporter’s unique donation page.
Each supporter’s personalised link will now appear in the list. You can copy or download these links to use in your email campaigns, CRM, or fundraising communications.
Best Practice Tips
- Test one or two entries before uploading your full list.
- Keep descriptions short for best layout.
- If your file includes invalid data, you’ll receive an error message with details — fix these and reupload.
- You can regenerate or delete links anytime from the same dashboard view.
