How to Set Up Donor Trust

Add Trust & Credibility

Build Instant Trust with New Visitors

First-time visitors often hesitate to donate because they don’t know if your organization is trustworthy. DonorTrust solves this by showing live proof that others are already supporting you.

Verification badges and recent donation activity create immediate credibility. New visitors see an active, supported cause rather than an unknown organization asking for money.

Turn Website Traffic Into Active Donors

Your website gets visitors, but many leave without donating. DonorTrust captures their attention with neat popups that show others are giving right now.

These timely popups give donors that much-needed nudge to act. Visitors see they’re not alone in supporting your cause, making them more comfortable with donating.
