Everything in Charitable’s Fundraising Progress Bar

Here’s a look at what’s packed into Charitable’s fundraising progress bar – ready to work the moment you publish your first campaign.

Your progress bar reflects real-time donation totals the moment a gift comes in.

A smooth animated fill draws donors’ eyes to your goal and communicates momentum.

Show how many donors have given. Social proof that drives more gifts.

Add an optional deadline and let a live countdown create natural urgency.

Place the progress bar anywhere on your campaign page with no code required.

Compatible with every WordPress theme. Zero conflicts, no custom CSS needed.

Fully responsive – looks great on phones, tablets, and desktop screens.

The progress bar is included in Charitable Lite. No paid plan required to launch.

Run as many campaigns as you need. Each gets its own goal, bar, and countdown.

Why You’ll Love Charitable’s Fundraising Progress Bar

Your donors are mission-driven. They give more when they can see their impact. These are the features that turn a passive campaign page into an active fundraising engine.

Real-Time Progress Display

Watch Live as Every Gift Brings You Closer to Your Goal

Progress bars work because they make progress visible. The moment a donation comes in, Charitable’s progress bar moves forward. No manual refreshes, no admin work, no delays on your part.

Your donors see exactly where you stand and how much is left to raise, right on your campaign page as they’re deciding whether to give.

The closer you get to your goal, the more urgency builds on its own.

Place it above the fold, below the description, or wherever it drives the most attention. Customize your goal, adjust the style, and reposition it at any time without touching a single line of code.

Campaign Goal Setting

Set a Clear Goal That Turns Browsing Into Giving

Every great fundraising campaign answers the same question: what are we raising money for, and how much do we need? Setting a specific dollar goal gives donors a compelling reason to act today rather than “later.”

A visible progress bar and an optional ticking countdown create the kind of urgency that moves campaigns from stalled to fully funded. Charitable handles both in the same setup screen.

Set your goal once and let the bar and countdown do the motivating for you around the clock.

Set Any Dollar Amount as Your Goal

Optional End Date for Built-In Urgency

Remaining Amount Calculated Automatically

The progress bar is fully responsive: it resizes, adjusts, and renders cleanly on smartphones, tablets, and desktops without any extra setup from you.

Every donor gets the full emotional impact of seeing your goal in motion, wherever they find your campaign.

automation update

⚡ Visual Automation Builder: Drag and Drop With No Code!

Charitable Automation Connect 2.3.0 introduces the Visual Automation Builder, a full-screen canvas that lays each automation out as a flow of connected cards: a trigger, optional conditions, and a list of actions that run in order.

🧩 Many actions, one trigger: Tag a donor, send an email, add a note, and fire a webhook from a single event, dragged into any order.

✉️ Act inside Charitable: New Send Email, Tag Donor, and Add Donor Note actions run with no external service required.

🔤 Merge tags: Personalize emails and notes with live fields like {first_name}, {total}, and {campaign_name}.

🔁 Apply to existing donors: Run Tag Donor and Add Donor Note against the donors you already have.

🖥️ Canvas or Simple: Switch views anytime, and automations built before 2.3.0 keep working unchanged.

💳 Introducing Card Updates: Fix Expired Cards Without Losing Subscriptions!

newExpired or updated credit cards are one of the biggest silent leaks in recurring fundraising. With Card Updates in the Recurring Donations extension, donors can now refresh their payment details directly—keeping their subscription, schedule, and giving history completely intact.

No canceled plans, no lost history, and zero administrative headache for your team.

What’s New:

⚡ 30-Second Self-Service: Donors get a dedicated “Update Card” button in their dashboard that opens Stripe’s secure, PCI-compliant Customer Portal to update card details instantly.

🔒 Scoped & Safe Access: Scoped exclusively to card updates by default, donors can’t accidentally cancel or alter their plans from inside the portal, keeping your webhooks and data in sync.

🤝 Admin-Assisted Support: Helping a donor on the phone? Open their secure Stripe portal in one click from your admin screen or generate a single-use update link to email them.

📋 Automatic Audit Trail: Every payment method update is recorded automatically with a timestamp in both system-wide logs and the individual donor’s profile.

Ready to protect your recurring revenue? Get the Plus or Pro plan and update Recurring Donations to 2.3.0+ and enable “Update Payment Method” under your Settings today!
