Transparency = Donations
Donors are skeptical. "Will my money reach the needy?" Your website answers this.
The "Trust" Framework
- Impact Reports: PDF downloads of annual reports.
- Live Counters: "10,000 Meals Served".
- Payment Gateway: 80G Tax Receipt automation (Donors want receipts instantly).
- Team/Trustee List: Who runs this?
- Video Stories: Real beneficiaries speaking.
Donation Page UX
Don't make them click 5 times to donate.
- Preset amounts: ₹500, ₹1000, ₹5000.
- Impact correlation: "₹500 feeds a child for a month".
