IS YOUR SHELTER ACCEPTING CRYPTOCURRENCY FOR DONATIONS?
Cryptocurrencies are one of the hottest commodities right now and many people want to get hold of them. You may have heard that one bitcoin is worth around $61,000 - up from $33,000 just five months ago! And Ethereum is yielding around $4,400 with the potential to reach the $5,000 level by year end.

Thus, getting crypto in the form of donations seems to be one of the best things your organization can do in 2021. Essentially, all one needs to do is to place a donation tool on their page, be it a website or a blog, and start receiving virtual currency from its network of supporters and donors.

Below are just two examples of animal shelters that are accepting crypto on their websites. Scroll to the bottom of this issue for an article, Cryptocurrency for Nonprofits: Best Ways to Accept Donations.

OPTIMIZE YOUR DONATION PAGE
Optimize your donation page to ensure that you’re getting the most donations throughout the year. Take a quick look at the donation page on your website.
  • Does it send your donors away from your website?
  • Do donors have to complete a long and clunky form?
  • Is it mobile-optimized?
  • Have you set up donation tiers, and given your donors the option to make a monthly gift?

All of these are important elements of making your donation page the best it can be. That’s important, because if you send donors to your website to give and they find it confusing or time-consuming, they’ll simply leave. This page is what converts donors, so you want it to be in tip-top shape for a year that’s sure to be mostly virtual.
