Making a donation on Do Donate is quick, secure, and straightforward. Once you’ve found a campaign you’d like to support, the checkout process takes just a few minutes. You can donate as a guest or while logged in to your account — logging in lets you track your giving history and save your payment details for next time.

​
Donating to a Campaign

1

Find the campaign

Navigate to the campaign page you’d like to support. You can get there through search, a category browse, or a link shared with you directly. Review the campaign details — goal, raised amount, organizer, and updates — to make sure it’s the right fit.
2

Click "Donate"

Select the Donate button on the campaign page. It appears prominently near the fundraising progress bar. This opens the donation checkout panel.
3

Choose your donation amount

Pick one of the preset donation amounts or enter a custom figure in the Other amount field. There is no minimum donation requirement, so you can give whatever feels right for you.
4

Add an optional message of support

Write a personal note to the organizer and fellow donors in the Message field. Your message might offer encouragement, share why the cause matters to you, or simply say you’re thinking of them. This step is entirely optional.
5

Choose to donate publicly or anonymously

By default, your name and message appear on the campaign’s donor list. If you’d prefer to keep your contribution private, toggle the Donate anonymously option. The organizer will still receive your donation, but your name will not be shown publicly.
6

Enter your payment details

Select your preferred payment method and enter the required details. Do Donate accepts credit cards, debit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. If you’re logged in and have a saved payment method, you can select it here without re-entering your information.
7

Confirm your donation and receive your receipt

Review your donation summary — amount, campaign, and any message — then select Confirm Donation. Your payment is processed immediately, and a confirmation screen confirms the transaction was successful.
You’ll receive an email receipt for every donation you make. Keep this email for your records — it includes the campaign name, donation amount, date, and a transaction reference number.

​
Setting Up a Recurring Monthly Donation

If you’d like to support a campaign on an ongoing basis, you can set up a monthly recurring donation during checkout.
  1. On the donation amount screen, look for the Make this a monthly donation toggle and switch it on.
  2. Choose your monthly amount — you can use a preset or enter a custom figure.
  3. Complete the rest of the checkout process as normal.
Your card will be charged on the same date each month until you choose to cancel. You can manage or cancel your recurring donations at any time from the Recurring Donations section of your account dashboard. You’ll also receive a receipt by email after each monthly charge.
Your donation message will be visible to the campaign organizer and other donors unless you choose to donate anonymously. If your message is personal or sensitive, consider enabling the anonymous option before completing your donation.
