FundCollector – Donations Plugin and Fundraising Platform for WordPress

Easily collect donations with PayPal or bank transfer. Automated email notifications, donor management, and security features built in.

ClickandPledge

The Click & Pledge CONNECT plugin brings your CONNECT donation forms and pledgeTV® channels directly into your WordPress site. With a simple shortcode, you can embed responsive, fully branded giving experiences on any page or post — no coding required. 
What you can do with CONNECT 
Organize your forms and pledgeTV® channels into groups, each with its own schedule. Assign start and end dates so the right form or video appears at the right time, automatically — no manual page edits needed. Display forms inline on the page or as an overlay triggered by a link, and use multiple shortcodes on a single page to offer donors different giving options side by side. 
Whether you’re running a seasonal campaign, rotating fundraising appeals, or embedding video fundraising alongside donation forms, the CONNECT plugin keeps everything in sync between your WordPress site and your Click & Pledge account.

<h3>About Click & Pledge</h3>
Click & Pledge began on May 30, 2000, with a simple but powerful question: What if online fundraising could be easier for everyone? What started as a small side project to help our local community quickly sparked a vision much larger than we ever imagined. We saw an opportunity not just to build software, but to transform the way nonprofits and donors connect. More than 25 years later, that vision has grown into a global platform serving over 20,000 organizations and powering more than $1 billion in charitable contributions. At Click & Pledge, we believe fundraising isn’t just a transaction, but a moment of human connection. That’s why we’re committed to reimagining the giving experience from the donor’s perspective, ensuring every interaction is intuitive, meaningful, and effective. From innovative fundraising tools to our comprehensive Academy, we empower nonprofits and partners to master both the technology and the human behavior behind successful giving.
