Is Your Charity Missing Out on Donations?

Even the best causes can lose donors if their landing page isn’t designed to convert. Most charity websites lack the key frameworks that for-profit companies use to drive action—and it’s costing you donations.

  • Many charity websites are designed for aesthetics, not conversions.
  • Conversion tactics used by big companies are missing, like A/B testing, psychological triggers, and optimized layouts.
  • Charities can use free Google AdWords credits to drive traffic, but without optimization, the traffic doesn't turn into donations.

The Donation Gap: Why Most Charity Sites Fail to Convert as well as they could

Lack of Proven Conversion Tactics: Most charity websites don’t use proven psychological frameworks to guide visitors toward donations. This means potential donors leave without taking action.

Example: For-profit companies use advanced psychological frameworks that tap into multiple layers of human behavior, including urgency, trust, and motivation. These complex models are often overlooked in the non-profit sector, leading to missed opportunities to convert potential donors.

No Ongoing Testing: Even if a site looks great, there’s often no consistent testing to ensure conversions stay high. A/B testing can make a huge difference, but many charities don’t know how or don’t have the resources to do it.

Example: Small changes like button placement or wording can improve conversions by 20-30%, but without testing, these opportunities are missed.

Slow Load Times: Many charity websites score low on performance metrics, especially on mobile, where most donations are made today.

Example: While sites may seem to load quickly on high-speed connections or when cached, real-world conditions tell a different story. Lighthouse tests often reveal slow load times, which can cause the majority of visitors to abandon the site if it takes longer than three seconds to load.
