Every day, an estimated 205 billion emails are sent around the world, and chances are, you are an active contributor to that\u00a0total by sending emails on behalf of\u00a0the charity you represent.<\/strong> You email supporters, donors, corporate partners, or other people interested in supporting your cause, and you likely send a number of emails per day.\u00a0But it’s time to ask yourself the following question: are you using your day-to-day email to solicit donations by including a Donate Now button in your email signature? If not, it’s time to change that in order to make it even easier for your supporters to give to your cause.<\/p>\n

In less than four\u00a0minutes, learn how to include\u00a0a CanadaHelps Donate Now button by following these steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Step 1:<\/strong>\u00a0Log into your charity\u2019s CanadaHelps account and\u00a0click on the “Donate Now” tab on your charity dashboard. Once you are under the “Donate Now” tab, click on the “Donate Now Link”. Scroll down to choose which Donate Now button you would like to add in your signature, and once you decide which\u00a0button you would like to add, hover over the button, right click over top of it and click “Save Image As…” and proceed to save the button to your computer.<\/p>\n

\"Step-1\"<\/p>\n

Step 2:<\/strong>\u00a0Log in to your Gmail account and click the button highlighted below on the top right corner of your inbox screen. Once you click on this button and a drop down menu appears, click the “Settings” button.<\/p>\n

\"Instructions\"<\/p>\n

Step 3:<\/strong>\u00a0Once you are on the settings page, scroll down to your signature options. Set your cursor to where you would like your donate button to appear, and click the image icon highlighted below.<\/p>\n

\"Step-3\"<\/p>\n

Step 4:<\/strong>\u00a0Once you click the image icon highlighted in step 3, you will be directed to a pop up box captured\u00a0below. Click the “Upload” tab and click the blue button highlighted below which reads “Select a file from your computer”.<\/p>\n

\"Step-4\"<\/p>\n

Step 5:<\/strong>\u00a0Once you click the button in step four, locate where you saved the image of your CanadaHelps Donate Now button on your computer. Once you find the button saved, click on the image and click “Open” on the bottom right hand side of the window.<\/p>\n

\"Step-5\"<\/p>\n

Step 6:<\/strong>\u00a0As you can see below, your Donate Now button will appear in your signature. Next, you will now need to link your button to your CanadaHelps Custom Donate Now\u00a0form. To do so, click on the right side of your button and use your cursor to highlight your Donate Now button. A set of options will appear underneath your button as seen below. From these options, click the link that says “Change”.<\/p>\n

\"signature\"<\/p>\n

Step 7:<\/strong>\u00a0Take the link from your CanadaHelps Custom Donate Now form you wish to direct your donors to and copy the hyperlink. Paste the link in the field which reads: “To what URL should this link go?”. Once you have pasted the link, click the “OK” button.<\/p>\n

\"Step-7\"<\/p>\n

Step 8:<\/strong>\u00a0Scroll down from the signature options on the settings page and click “Save Changes” at the bottom of the\u00a0page.<\/p>\n

\"Step-8\"<\/p>\n

And there it is! You have successfully placed a Donate Now button into your email signature.\u00a0Have questions? Email our team at\u00a0info@canadahelps.org<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
