How do we show our school's fundraising progress on our website?

Reviewed . Read as Markdown

Set up an overall goal in Raised, link the campaigns that count towards it, and copy its embed code into your school website. The widget shows a thermometer, progress bar or percent ring with the current total every time the page loads, so nobody has to update it by hand. You can also share a goal page link in newsletters, where embed code cannot run.

What does the widget show?

It shows the amount raised, the target and the percentage, filled in your school colour. You choose a thermometer for a sidebar, a progress bar for a wide space, or a percent ring for a small square. You can hide the dollar figure and show only the percentage, and hide the goal name if your page already has a heading.

The total adds up every campaign linked to the goal, using the same amount raised each campaign shows on its own page, plus money you record as raised offline, such as a cash mufti day or a grant.

How do you add it to your website?

The embed code is two lines: a placeholder and a script. Most website builders have a block for this.

  1. In your Raised dashboard, open Overall Goals and create a goal with your target.
  2. Link the campaigns that count towards it and add any money raised offline.
  3. In the Share and embed card, choose a style and click Copy next to the embed code.
  4. Paste it into a Code, HTML or Embed block on your website, such as Custom HTML in WordPress, a Code block in Squarespace or Embed HTML in Wix.
  5. Publish the page. The widget fits the space and sets its own height.

What about newsletters and social media?

Emails and social posts cannot run embed code, so share the goal's own page instead. It shows the thermometer and links to each campaign supporters can give to, and you choose its link, such as raised.nz/p/goal/riverside-playground. Overall goals and the embed are included with every Raised account at no extra cost.
