Referral links

Referral link tracking for campaigns, partners, ambassadors, and SMS

Create trackable fundraising links with campaign context, session analytics, link-level reporting, and donation attribution.

Referral link tracking gives every shared fundraising link a measurable revenue trail. Campaigns, partners, ambassadors, volunteers, and SMS messages should not all collapse into the same anonymous traffic bucket.

OpenFundraise lets teams create trackable links that preserve source, campaign, and donor journey context through checkout so link performance can be judged by gifts, not just clicks.

The problem

Shared links often lose fundraising context

Partner, ambassador, SMS, and social links can look identical in reports.

Traffic analytics do not always connect to donations.

Manual spreadsheets make link performance hard to trust.
