Turn printed materials into instant donation pages, sign-up forms, and campaign links.
Create your free QR codeNonprofits ask people to take action — donate, volunteer, attend, sign up. Every extra step between the ask and the action costs you conversions. A QR code on a printed piece eliminates the biggest friction point: getting someone from paper to a web page.
Direct mail still pulls strong response rates for nonprofits. Adding a QR code to a fundraising letter gives recipients a second path to donate alongside the reply envelope. For younger donors who never write checks, it may be the only path that works.
Print QR codes on table centerpieces at your annual fundraiser. Link to a mobile-friendly donation page with suggested gift amounts. Guests give during the event while they are engaged, not two weeks later when the email reminder arrives.
Community bulletin boards, farmers markets, and partner locations are all places to post a flyer with a QR code linking to your volunteer application. Someone who scans and fills out a form on the spot is far more likely to follow through than someone who takes a flyer home.
Tag your URLs so you can tell which printed piece drove each donation. Use a different UTM parameter for each campaign — spring mailer, gala program, T-shirt. Review the data quarterly and double down on what is working.
Decide whether this code drives donations, volunteer sign-ups, or event registrations. Link to the specific page for that action.
Add your nonprofit's logo and colors. Use a frame with a call-to-action like 'Scan to donate' or 'Scan to volunteer.'
Print on mailers, event programs, business cards, T-shirts, and social media graphics. The more places it appears, the more scans you get.
A QR code on a gala table card takes a donor from interest to payment in ten seconds. No searching for a website, no typing a URL.
Print QR codes on flyers at community boards and events. Interested people sign up on the spot while motivation is high.
Dynamic QR codes show scan counts, dates, and locations. You see which mailer, poster, or event drove the most engagement.
Generate a QR code linking to your online donation page — PayPal, Stripe, GoFundMe, or your own site. Print it on direct mail, event banners, and thank-you cards. Donors scan and give in under a minute.
Yes, and they outperform typed-in URLs. A donor holding a letter can scan the code and land on the donation form immediately instead of opening a browser and typing an address.
Use a UTM-tagged URL as your QR destination. Your analytics will show exactly how many visits and conversions came from the printed code versus other channels.
The most effective destinations are donation pages, volunteer sign-up forms, event registrations, and email newsletter opt-ins. Pick one action per code.
