Frequently Asked Questions
What is a fundraising thermometer?+
A fundraising thermometer is a visual graphic that fills up as your campaign approaches its goal, showing the percentage and dollar amount raised. It creates urgency and social proof, encouraging more donations. This tool generates one instantly from your goal and amount raised.
How do you make a fundraising thermometer?+
Enter your fundraising goal and the amount raised so far — the thermometer fills to the matching percentage automatically. You can copy a progress update to share on social media, email, or your event page, and update it as donations come in.
Why do fundraising thermometers work?+
They tap into goal-gradient psychology: donors are more motivated to give as a campaign nears its target. Showing visible momentum and a clear 'amount to go' figure increases both the number of gifts and the average gift size.
Is the Fundraising Thermometer free?+
Yes — it's free, requires no account or email, and updates instantly in your browser. Built for Canadian event organizers and nonprofits by SponsorMatch.ca.
