Are you creating your website using NationBuilder? Would you like to add reward capabilities, and campaigns to your website? This tutorial will show you how you can quickly add a fully white labeled fundraising campaign to your new or existing NationBuilder charity website.
This article is part of a blog series for adding rewards to your charity fundraising website. You can also add rewards to other charity platforms such as Ning.
The solution described in this blog article can be used for any fundraising, charity, or non-profit organization website. It is great for adding a single reward, or multiple rewards on a single page for any new or existing NationBuilder site using white label technology such as Atlas. To gain the capabilities to add multiple rewards on your NationBuilder site, you need to subscribe to an Atlas subscription plan. The Micro subscription plan is great to use for this purpose. Included in the subscription plans is the Sedra widget. You can use the Sedra widget to host a campaign on any web page.
Please note that it is recommended to read the following article to quickly set up the widget for this tutorial.
Adding rewards on your NationBuilder Charity Website
Step 1: Subscribe to the Atlas subscription plan.
Step 2: Create the fundraising campaign, and add the rewards. You can then copy the widget code.
Depending on the configuration of your site, you may need to approve the campaign to view it live. To do this, you can log in as an administrator, and go to the administrator dashboard, click on campaigns, and choose approved/running from the dropdown menu located in the status column for the campaign that you have created.
You can also add more functionality such as, removing the contribute button (if you only want users to purchase rewards), enable attributes (for example: if you are offering a t-shirt for a reward, you can add sizes as an attribute for the t-shirt, and colours as an attribute), HTML editor, and more.
Step 3: Create a new page.
First, log into the NationBuilder website. If you have not already created a new website, you will need to do that.
Once you have created the new site, you can click on the website item in the main menu, and click on the new site that you have just created from the dropdown menu.
Hover over the page that you would like to add the rewards to, and click on the edit button. Click on the template tab.
Step 4: Paste the widget code, and view the campaign.
Once you see the code on the template tab, you can paste the widget code that you copied in the second step. For this example, we have pasted the widet code below the container div as shown below:
You can paste the widget code wherever you see fit on the page. Make sure to save the changes once you have added the widget code.
You can now view, and donate to the campaign.
That is how you can add rewards onto your NationBuilder charity website. For a full and more detailed tutorial, you can watch the following video:
