Introducing the DonateAnywhere Widget

Posted on 7/30/10 by Derek Wong, Razoo.com & Jeff Achen, GiveMN.org

Nonprofits, you asked and we listened! We heard your request for an option to keep donors on your own website, the place that inspired their philanthropy.

Now, you can do just that and bring the GiveMN giving platform to your nonprofit’s website with the Razoo DonateAnywhereBETA Widget.

GiveMN's technology partners, Razoo.com, have developed a new widget that can be embedded on your own website or those of your supporters. The widget will be launched in late-August and will be in "beta," which means that it is the first version released for the purpose of evaluation or real-world testing. Though there are improvements to be made, such as donation tracking for GiveMN donors, we feel this new widget will be a great tool for nonprofits.

DonateAnywhereBETA is a simple, secure widget that can:

• Be embedded on any website – so donors can donate securely to your nonprofit, from your website or blog
• Be customized with your branding and messaging
• Generate instant tax receipt emails for donors – no account sign-up needed
• Go viral! Your supporters can engage their social networks in your cause
• Easily consolidate with other donations to your organization made on Razoo. The donations made through

DonateAnywhere will be included in your Razoo donations report*

Since you control the user experience, your supporters can make a donation and feel inspired instantly!

DonateAnywhere is easy-to-use and simple to install on your nonprofit’s web page or blog – and will be widely available in late August. Learn more about DonateAnywhereBETA here.

To let us know that you’re interested in using the widget for your nonprofit website or blog, please do sign-up NOW for the widget, and you will be one of the first nonprofits to receive the code for it in late August!

*In the initial rollout of DonateAnywhereBETA, donations will appear on nonprofits’ Donation reports as if they were made through Razoo.com. In a later release, Donation reports will indicate which contributions were made via the widget. Donors will not be able to track their donations made through the widget on their regular GiveMN account profile, so we advise you to send all your regular donors to your GiveMN page.

We’d love to hear your feedback! Post your comments, share with us your thoughts about DonateAnywhere, and your ideas to virally engage your donors by using it!
