QR Codes for Nonprofit Donations
Capture the impulse to give before the moment passes.
Donations are emotional and time-sensitive, and the gap between wanting to give and finding the donate button is where money is lost. A QR code on your event banner, mailer, or pledge card opens your giving page instantly, while the inspiration is fresh. Keep it dynamic and you can point the same printed materials at different campaigns throughout the year, and the analytics show which appeal and which placement actually move donors to act.
Why use a dynamic QR code for this

FAQ
Can we switch campaigns on the same materials?
Yes. Dynamic codes let you repoint printed banners and mailers to a new campaign at any time.
Can we track which event raised the most?
Use a distinct code per event or channel and compare scans to see what drives giving.
Can I change where the QR code points after printing?
Yes - with a dynamic QR code. It encodes a short redirect link, so you can update the destination anytime from your dashboard and every printed copy instantly points to the new URL. Static codes encode the destination directly and can't be changed.
Do these QR codes expire?
No. Static QR codes are free forever and never expire - they encode your destination directly and don't depend on our servers. Dynamic codes keep working as long as your account is active, and you can pause or re-point them whenever you like.
Can I track how many people scan it?
Yes. Dynamic QR codes come with real-time scan analytics: total scans plus device, location, and time-of-day breakdowns, so you can see exactly which placement is working. Scan tracking is part of the Pro plan.
Is there a watermark on the QR code?
No. Every QR code you create - free or paid - is watermark-free and downloadable as a crisp PNG or scalable SVG, ready for print at any size.
Do I need an app to scan the code?
No. Every modern iPhone and Android camera scans QR codes natively - just point the camera at the code and tap the link that appears. No special app required.
