Campaigns Showcase: Interactive Fundraising Displays for Your Cause

Last updated on

  • By

You built the campaign. Now give it the display it deserves. Beautiful, interactive, no developer needed, and yes – it actually fits your budget.


Let’s be real for a second.

Large nonprofits have something most smaller organizations don’t – dedicated developers, big budgets, and the resources to build polished, interactive fundraising pages that stop visitors in their tracks and turn them into donors.

You’ve been making do with less. A static list of campaigns. No filtering. No search. No way for a donor to quickly find the cause that moves them. Just a page they land on, scroll through, and too often, leave without giving.

That ends today.

Introducing Campaign Showcase

Campaign Showcase is the newest feature in Charitable Pro 1.8.13, and it’s the one we’re most excited about. It’s a fully interactive campaign display that lets your visitors search, filter, and sort through your campaigns – right on the page, without a single page reload.

It looks like something a developer built. It isn’t. You can set it up yourself, today, without touching a line of code.

Drop it on any page as a Gutenberg block or a classic shortcode, configure it from the sidebar, and your campaigns come to life in a dynamic, AJAX-powered grid or carousel. That’s it.

Why It Matters For Your Non Profit

Here’s what we know about donors: they give when something connects. When they find the campaign that speaks to them, when they can see the urgency, when the path to giving is clear and easy.

A flat, static list doesn’t do any of that. It puts the work on the donor – and most of them won’t do it.

Campaign Showcase flips that. It gives your donors an experience that feels modern, intuitive, and trustworthy – the kind of experience that used to cost thousands of dollars to build.

Now it’s built right into Charitable Pro, ready to go the moment you update.

What Campaign Showcase Can Do

Here’s a closer look at what’s included and what it means for your fundraising:

  • Multiple layouts: Choose between a card grid and a carousel or slider layout. The carousel supports configurable visible slides, optional autoplay, and navigation arrow positioning. Whether you have 3 campaigns or 30, there’s a layout that works.
  • Search, sort, and filter: Turn on a search bar, a sort dropdown, and category or tag filter pills, all from the block sidebar. Donors can find exactly what they’re looking for instantly, without leaving the page. Less friction means more giving.
  • Urgency badges: Show time remaining, funding status, total raised, donation count, or donor count right on each campaign card. Give your donors the context they need to act – and act now.
  • Quick donate buttons: Display pre-selected donation amount buttons directly on each campaign card. When combined with the modal donate feature, visitors can pick an amount and open the donation form in a single click. That’s a powerful moment and it happens fast.
  • Full styling control: Colors, font sizes, spacing, borders, card radius, all configurable directly in the block, no CSS required. Every instance on your page can be styled independently to match your brand.
  • Ambassadors and Peer-to-Peer support: Running a peer-to-peer fundraising campaign with our Ambassadors extension? Campaign Showcase has built-in support for showing fundraiser counts, aggregated stats, and Start Fundraising buttons. Your community of fundraisers finally gets the display they deserve too.

All these settings can be found under the Block tab of the WordPress editor menu on the right. You never have to use any coding, though we’ve included an option for Custom CSS for advanced users.

Already comfortable with shortcodes? You’re covered.

Everything available in the block is also available as a shortcode parameter. If you’ve been using the classic [campaigns] shortcode, this is the same foundation – just significantly more powerful. Here’s a quick example of what’s possible:

[campaigns layout="card" columns="3" button="modal" show_search="true" show_filters="true" show_badges="true"]

We have full documentation covering every parameter – layouts, badges, quick donate, carousel, colors, typography, spacing, filters, and developer hooks – over in our Campaign Showcase documentation.

Why You’ll Love Campaigns Showcase

  • No Code Needed: Configure everything effortlessly via the block’s sidebar.
  • Instant Feedback: Live preview feature facilitates immediate edits and adjustments.
  • Seamless Experience: AJAX-powered controls ensure smooth filtering, sorting, and pagination, all without refreshing the page.
  • Versatile Styles: Switch between carousel and grid views with ease and adapt styling to match your brand.
  • Enhanced Engagement: Visitors enjoy a rich, interactive experience, encouraging exploration and donations. 🎯💰
