Use the customizable donation button during your Livestream to ask for specific donation amounts.
Asking donors for specific donation amounts can help them understand the direct impact they can make and boost giving. The donate button that displays during your Livestream is customizable, allowing you to create preset donation amounts:
For example, you might choose to ask for $50, to provide one child with a backpack and school supplies for an entire school year or $500 to provide one family with a sustainable well that will ensure their continued access to clean drinking water.

What happens when donors click the customized donation button?
