Mission

Mission is a free WordPress donation plugin built for nonprofits. Accept one-time and recurring donations, manage donors and campaigns, give your supporters a self-service dashboard, and track everything from a modern admin, without paying for a single add-on.
Most donation plugins lock the features you actually need behind a paid tier. Recurring donations? Add-on. Custom fields? Add-on. Donor dashboards, fee recovery, exports? Add-on, add-on, add-on. Mission takes a different approach: every feature ships in the free plugin, and we’re funded by an optional tip donors can choose to add at checkout. Donors can change the tip, lower it, or set it to zero. 100% of the donation amount always reaches your nonprofit.
The result is a donation platform that grows with your organization without surprise upgrade prompts. The plugin you install today is the plugin handling your donations next year, with no upsell screens between you and your supporters.
<h3>✨ Why Mission</h3>
No paid add-ons. Ever. 
Recurring donations, donor dashboards, campaign management, custom fields, tribute donations, fee recovery, exports, activity logs. All included in the free plugin. There is no “Mission Pro” version, no premium tier, and no upsell at checkout.
Modern donation forms that convert. 
Multi-step forms with suggested amounts, custom amounts, tribute dedications, anonymous donations, optional fee recovery. Built to feel quick and trustworthy on every device.
Built for performance. 
The donation form is built on the WordPress Interactivity API, so there’s no React on the public-facing site, no bloated JavaScript, and fast page loads for your donors. Donor data lives in dedicated database tables, not post meta, so reporting stays fast as your donor list grows into the thousands.
<h3>💝 Powerful donation forms</h3>
The Donation Form block can be dropped into any post, page, or campaign. Configure it once and it adapts to your campaign and your brand:
<ul>
<li>Suggested amounts and an optional custom-amount field, configured per frequency</li>
<li>One-time and recurring giving (weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually), with per-form control over which frequencies to offer</li>
<li>Multi-step layout that keeps the donor focused</li>
<li>Cover-the-fees option lets donors absorb processing fees so 100% of their donation reaches your cause</li>
<li>Anonymous donation toggle</li>
<li>Tribute and memorial dedications, with an optional notification email to the honoree</li>
<li>Custom fields per form: text, textarea, select, multiselect, radio, checkbox</li>
<li>Built-in client and server-side validation</li>
<li>Low-specificity CSS with no <code>!important</code> rules so themes can restyle freely</li>
</ul>
<h3>🔁 Recurring donations included free</h3>
Recurring donations are the single biggest revenue lever for nonprofits, and they’re the feature other plugins charge extra for. Mission ships them free:
<ul>
<li>Weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual frequencies</li>
<li>Automatic renewal with retry on failure</li>
<li>Donor self-service: pause, resume, or cancel from the donor dashboard</li>
<li>Renewal history tracked per subscription</li>
<li>Email notifications for renewals, cancellations, and failed payments</li>
<li>Admin controls to pause, resume, cancel, or retry any subscription</li>
</ul>
<h3>👥 A donor dashboard your supporters will actually use</h3>
Drop the Donor Dashboard block on any page and your supporters get a self-service portal. They can:
<ul>
<li>See a complete donation history</li>
<li>Manage recurring donations: pause, resume, or cancel without contacting you</li>
<li>Download a receipt for any donation</li>
<li>Update their profile and email address</li>
<li>Sign in with a magic-link email, so there’s no password to forget</li>
</ul>
Every action your donors can take in the dashboard is one less email in your inbox.
<h3>🎯 Campaign management</h3>
Run a single ongoing campaign or dozens of named campaigns side by side:
<ul>
<li>Set goals by total raised, donation count, or unique donor count</li>
<li>Auto-generated campaign pages built on the WordPress block editor</li>
<li>Start and end dates per campaign</li>
<li>Active, draft, and archived statuses</li>
<li>Real-time aggregates that update as donations complete</li>
</ul>
Mission ships eleven campaign and donation blocks: donation form, donate button, campaign card, campaign grid, campaign image, campaign progress bar, campaign statistic, donor wall, recent donors, top donors, and donor dashboard. Mix and match them to build campaign pages that match your brand. Not using the block editor? Every block has a shortcode equivalent that works in page builders like Elementor and Bricks.
<h3>📊 Reports and exports you can actually use</h3>
The admin dashboard surfaces what fundraisers care about: total revenue, donation count, average donation, repeat donor count, top donor, and month-over-month growth, in test and live modes side by side.
Need the data outside WordPress? Export donors, transactions, campaigns, and subscriptions to CSV or JSON in a single click.
A built-in activity log records every donation, refund, subscription event, webhook, email, and admin action with a 90-day retention window so you can audit anything that happened on your site.
<h3>🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Who Mission is for</h3>
Mission is built to fit any organization or individual raising money online:
<ul>
<li>Nonprofits and charities</li>
<li>Foundations, clubs, and NGOs</li>
<li>Churches and faith communities</li>
<li>Schools, PTAs, and education nonprofits</li>
<li>Political campaigns and advocacy groups</li>
<li>Community groups and mutual aid funds</li>
<li>Individuals raising for a specific cause</li>
</ul>
<h3>🫙 How the optional tip model works</h3>
Mission is funded by donor tips, not by selling features. Here’s exactly how that works:
<ul>
<li>At checkout, donors see a small optional tip alongside their donation amount.</li>
<li>The tip is preselected at a small percentage by default. Donors can change it, lower it, or set it to zero.</li>
<li>100% of the donation amount goes to your connected Stripe account.</li>
<li>Prefer a flat platform fee instead of donor tips? You can switch to a fixed 3% platform fee per form.</li>
</ul>

Mission – Donation Plugin for WordPress – Fundraising & Recurring Donations


I'm quite happy with how well this plugin works, both for WordPress novices, and those that know their way around the editor. 



Setup is simple and straightforward. Details, payment connect, and right to your creating your first campaign. The campaign post is ready to go right away, probably good for most users, but it has an abundance of options if you want to dive a bit deeper. All content is editable, but it gives you some decent boilerplate sentences to start. 



The main donation form has quite a variety of options as well. Donation frequency and amounts, what info gets collected, who covers the card processing fees. Again great for most to set it and forget it, but the option is there for those who need to get more technical.



The dashboard is clean, easy to see who is donating, what's going where. Settings as well, easy export options, ability for webhooks / zaps. I haven't tested it, but it looks like it has the option to import from other plugins if you want to make the switch.



Best part, according to the features page, is that it looks like all future updates and features will be included. No add-ons or anything getting locked behind a paywall.


Easy to setup and start, good customization. Great that it's all free
