Create a QR Code for Your Nonprofit Donation Page

A QR code gives supporters a simple way to move from an offline fundraising message to your online donation page.

Instead of asking someone to manually type a long web address, you can place a QR code on your fundraising materials.

A supporter can scan it with their phone and open your donation page.

This can be useful for fundraising materials such as event posters, donation flyers, direct mail, printed newsletters, presentation slides, fundraising signs, brochures, table cards, community events, and campaign graphics.

Enter your donation page URL in the tool above and your QR code is generated automatically.

How to Create a Donation QR Code

1. Add Your Donation Link

Enter the URL supporters should visit after scanning your QR code.

This could be your main donation page, a specific fundraising campaign, an event fundraising page, a crowdfunding page, or another campaign landing page.

Before publishing your QR code, use the Test Link option and make sure it opens the correct destination.

2. Customize Your QR Code

You do not have to use a generic black QR code.

Customize the code to better fit your nonprofit branding by changing the QR color, background color, pattern style, and corner style.

Keep readability in mind when choosing colors.

Dark QR codes on light backgrounds generally provide clearer contrast than two similar colors. The QR Code Maker includes a contrast indicator to help you spot combinations that may be harder to scan.

3. Add Your Nonprofit Logo

Upload your nonprofit, charity, campaign, or event logo and place it in the center of the QR code.

You can also adjust the logo size.

Avoid making the logo unnecessarily large. The QR pattern still needs enough visible information around the logo for reliable scanning.

4. Choose Your Export Size

Choose the image size that works for your project.

Smaller PNG files can work well for websites, emails, presentations, and social media graphics.

Larger versions are useful when you need more resolution.

For print projects that may be enlarged significantly, download the QR code as an SVG.

5. Download Your QR Code

Download your finished QR code as either:

PNG for websites, presentations, social posts, digital fundraising graphics, and many everyday uses.

SVG for scalable print projects such as posters, signs, banners, and large fundraising materials.

Donation QR Code Ideas for Nonprofits

A donation QR code can connect many different nonprofit marketing materials directly to your fundraising page.

Fundraising Flyers

Add a QR code next to a clear fundraising call to action such as:

Scan to Donate

or:

Help Us Reach Our Goal

Supporters can move directly from the printed flyer to the online donation process.

If you still need the visual itself, use our free Fundraising Graphic Maker to create a branded fundraising progress graphic for your campaign.

Event Posters

Fundraising dinners, charity runs, community events, school fundraisers, galas, auctions, and volunteer events can all include a donation QR code.

Someone who sees the poster can immediately visit the relevant campaign page.

Donation Tables and Collection Points

Place a QR code on a table sign or printed card at an event.

This gives visitors a digital donation option even when the campaign is happening offline.

Presentations

Add your QR code to the final slide of a fundraising or impact presentation.

Instead of ending with a long donation URL, attendees can scan the code while the presentation is still on screen.

Printed Newsletters

If your nonprofit sends physical newsletters, impact reports, or donor updates, add a QR code near your fundraising call to action.

This creates a direct bridge from the printed material to the relevant web page.

Social Media Graphics

QR codes can also be included in digital campaign graphics when appropriate, especially if the graphic may later be displayed on a desktop screen, presentation, poster, or physical sign.

Need to create campaign visuals first? Try the free Social Media Post Maker for Nonprofits or resize an existing visual with our Social Media Image Resizer for Nonprofits.

Why Use a QR Code for Fundraising?

Offline fundraising materials have one obvious limitation: people cannot click them.

A QR code gives those materials a digital destination.

Instead of asking supporters to remember your website, search for your organization, or type a campaign URL, you can send them directly to the relevant page.

That makes QR codes useful anywhere your nonprofit communicates offline but wants supporters to take an online action.

The destination does not always have to be a donation page either.

You could create a QR code for a volunteer signup page, event registration page, campaign information page, impact report, newsletter signup, petition, or resource.

Use a Dedicated Fundraising Landing Page

A QR code only makes accessing a page easier. The page itself still needs to do the fundraising work.

Whenever possible, send supporters to a focused landing page rather than your homepage.

A strong donation page should make it clear what the campaign is about, why support matters, what donations help accomplish, and what the visitor should do next.

The QR code removes friction between the physical campaign material and that page.

Keep Your Donation QR Code Easy to Scan

Design matters, but scanning comes first.

Avoid sacrificing readability just to make your QR code more decorative.

Use strong contrast between the code and its background, leave enough white or empty space around the QR code, avoid making the center logo too large, and test the final code on multiple phones before sending materials to print.

Testing is especially important for posters, banners, flyers, and other materials where reprinting can become expensive.

Add Your Nonprofit Branding

A branded QR code can fit more naturally into your nonprofit’s existing fundraising materials.

You can use your organization’s colors and logo so the code feels like part of the overall campaign rather than something added at the last minute.

Try to keep branding consistent across the QR code, fundraising graphics, social media posts, landing pages, and printed materials.

If you are creating campaign content for several channels, our Nonprofit Social Media Post Generator can also help you develop social media copy around your fundraising campaign.

QR Codes for Nonprofit Events

Events are one of the most useful places for donation QR codes.

A QR code can appear on event tickets, menus, table cards, presentation screens, posters, banners, programs, auction materials, volunteer shirts, and information stands.

You can also create different QR codes for different purposes.

For example, one may link to donations while another links to event registration, volunteering, your newsletter, or a campaign information page.

Keep the purpose clear by adding a short instruction near each QR code.

QR Codes for Print Fundraising

If your QR code will appear on printed material, think about the final physical size rather than only how it looks on your computer.

A tiny QR code on a large poster may be difficult to scan from the intended distance.

For scalable print work, SVG is particularly useful because it can be enlarged without the pixelation associated with raster images.

Always test a printed sample before producing a large batch.

Combine QR Codes With Better Campaign Graphics

The QR code is only one element of your fundraising creative.

The surrounding message still needs to grab attention and explain why someone should scan.

Your nonprofit might combine a QR code with a short headline, strong campaign image, fundraising goal, progress bar, impact statistic, and simple call to action.

For example:

Help Us Reach €25,000

82% Funded

Scan to Donate

You can build the main visual with the GlobalOwls Fundraising Graphic Maker and then incorporate your donation QR code into the campaign design.

Prepare Your Images for Your Nonprofit Website

If you are also updating your fundraising landing page, avoid uploading unnecessarily large images.

Use the Website Image Optimizer for Nonprofits to resize, compress, and convert campaign images before adding them to your website.

This can be particularly helpful for donation pages containing large event photos, project images, or campaign photography.

Promote Your Fundraising Campaign on YouTube

Video can also support nonprofit fundraising campaigns.

Use interviews, project updates, impact videos, event recaps, or behind-the-scenes footage to explain why the campaign matters.

If you publish fundraising videos, you can create a custom thumbnail with the free YouTube Thumbnail Maker for Nonprofits.

Your QR code can then be reused in event materials, presentations, campaign graphics, and other places where viewers can scan it from another screen.
