All About the GiveWP Donor Wall Shortcode

The Donor Wall shortcode is a great way to display a grid with details about past donors and donations.

Example Donor Walls

Here are some examples of how you can customize the Donor Wall in a variety of ways for different types of campaigns and use-cases.

Sample Layout – Anonymous Giving

This example is great for an anonymous fundraiser. The Donor Wall only shows the amount given and the date, and is sorted to show the largest donations first. It hides images, names, and comments.

Sample Layout – Global Supporters

This example is good for when you have lots and lots of donors who have given and you want to highlight them but not the amount they’ve given. This Donor Wall will show only their name, photo and date. It has more columns and shows more donors per page. It hides the amount and any comments and is organized by date.
