QR Codes for Fundraisers & Charity Events
Fundraiser QR codes drive donations, volunteer signups, and silent auction participation directly from event materials without cash handling or manual processing.
Donation tables create bottlenecks and missed giving moments — QR codes let every attendee donate from their seat at the peak of emotional engagement.
how to use QR codes at a fundraiser
- 1Set up your donation and auction linksCreate your donation page (GoFundMe, PayPal Giving Fund, or your own platform) and silent auction platform. Copy the share URLs for each item or campaign.
- 2Create dynamic QR codes for each use caseGenerate separate dynamic QR codes for general donations, specific auction items, and volunteer signup. Dynamic lets you swap to a next-campaign page after the event.
- 3Place at every table and key locationPut donation QR codes on each table, in the event program, and on donation envelopes. Place auction QR codes on each item's display card. Announce the codes from the stage.

Why use dynamic QR codes for fundraisers & charity events?
Edit after printing
Event details change. With dynamic QR codes, update the destination after banners and programs are already printed.
Track every scan
See how many attendees engaged with each QR code, when, and from which device — measure what worked.
No scan limits
Large events mean high scan volume. Dynamic QR never caps your scans — handle 10 or 10,000 scans the same way.
Reuse across events
Update the destination between events. Your printed signage becomes reusable — saving reprinting costs every time.
Common questions about QR codes for fundraisers & charity events
How do QR codes increase fundraiser donations?
QR codes remove friction — instead of finding a donation table or website, attendees scan from their seat and complete the donation in 60 seconds on their phone.
Can QR codes be used for silent auctions?
Yes — place a QR code on each auction item linking to the item's bid page. Attendees bid from their phones without paper forms or standing in line.
What platform should I use for fundraiser QR codes?
GoFundMe, PayPal Giving Fund, Donorbox, or your organization's donation platform all work. Dynamic QR generates the code — you provide the donation URL.
