We are thrilled to announce a powerful and highly requested new feature included in Charitable Pro: the **Donor Leaderboard**!

This new feature is designed to help you celebrate your most generous supporters, create a sense of community, and add a powerful element of “gamification” to your fundraising. By publicly recognizing your donors, you can inspire friendly competition and motivate others to contribute, helping you reach your goals faster.

The Donor Leaderboard is available today in **Charitable Pro version 1.8.9.4** and later.

## Celebrate Generosity and Boost Engagement

A donor leaderboard is more than just a list – it’s a dynamic tool for engagement. It provides a public platform to thank your supporters and show them how much their contributions matter.

This builds transparency and creates a “hall of fame” that can motivate new donors to join and inspire existing donors to give again.

With the new Donor Leaderboard, you can:

- **Publicly recognize** your most generous supporters.
- **Create friendly competition** to motivate more and larger donations.
- **Add gamification** to your campaigns, encouraging donors to “climb the ranks.”
- **Showcase momentum** for a specific campaign or your entire organization.

Watch how it works in our video:

## Two Beautiful Layouts: List or Card View

We know that one size doesn’t fit all. That’s why the Donor Leaderboard comes with two distinct, professional layouts right out of the box.

- **List View:** A clean, traditional table layout. It’s perfect for displaying detailed information like rank, name, amount, and donation counts. The top 3 donors are automatically highlighted with special trophy icons.
- **Card View:** A modern, visual grid layout. This view prominently features your top 3 donors with special “crown” icons and then displays all other contributors in a stylish, easy-to-read card grid.

Here’s what the list view would look like:

We’ve made it incredibly easy to add your new leaderboard to any part of your site. You have three simple options, all without needing to touch a line of code:

1. **WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg):** Simply search for the “Donor Leaderboard” block and add it to any page or post. All the settings are available in a user-friendly sidebar with a live preview.
2. **Campaign Builder:** The leaderboard is now available as a “Pro Field” right inside the visual Campaign Builder. Just click to add it to your campaign page, and it will **automatically** show donors for that specific campaign.
3. **Shortcode:** For maximum flexibility, you can also use a simple shortcode to place your leaderboard in widgets, theme templates, or with your favorite page builder.

This isn’t just a static list. The Donor Leaderboard gives you full control over what data you display to your supporters.

- **Scope:** Show donors for a **single campaign** or create a **site-wide** leaderboard for all campaigns.
- **Time Frame:** Display donors from “all time,” “this year,” “this month,” or any **custom date range** you choose.
- **Filtering:** Set a **minimum donation amount** to appear on the list.
- **Flexible Display:** Easily **show or hide** information like donor avatars, total amounts, donation counts, or when they last gave.
- **Full Integration:** The leaderboard works seamlessly with **Recurring Donations** (to show lifetime totals) and **Charitable Ambassadors** (to create team-based leaderboards).
- **Match Your Brand:** You can even customize the colors, titles, and icons to perfectly match your website’s design.
