Give Peer-to-Peer

Supporters can create fundraising pages on a WordPress site, add their own images and text, set donation goals, and raise money for a shared cause. Give Peer-to-Peer is aimed at non-profits, schools, charities, and community organisations that want fundraising to extend beyond a single central donation form. The product sits alongside GiveWP, turning individual supporters into campaign participants while keeping donations and progress within the site’s fundraising setup.

Fundraising pages

The main feature is a personalised page for each fundraising effort. A supporter can shape the page with campaign imagery, written information, and a target amount rather than relying on a generic appeal. That gives each participant a clearer way to explain why they are raising money and gives donors a specific page to share.

Social sharing is built into the fundraising workflow. A participant can promote their page through social channels, which makes the add-on suited to events, school drives, community appeals, and campaigns where supporters already have their own networks. The page-based approach also creates a distinct destination for each fundraiser instead of sending every donor to the organisation’s main donation page.

Donation tracking

Real-time progress updates give fundraisers a current view of donations and movement towards their goal. That visibility matters for campaigns where the target itself is part of the motivation: supporters can see whether an appeal is gaining ground and continue sharing it when more attention is needed.

The reporting tools extend that view beyond the individual page. Give Peer-to-Peer includes reporting for fundraising performance and donor engagement, helping an organisation review how its campaigns are progressing and how supporters are responding. Recurring donations are also supported, so donors can contribute on a regular basis rather than making only a one-off payment.

Payment and GiveWP fit

Multiple payment gateways give donors a choice of payment method, while integration with the GiveWP core plugin connects peer-to-peer activity with broader donation management. This is important context: the add-on is designed as part of a GiveWP-based fundraising system, not as an isolated campaign tool. Organisations already using GiveWP have a more direct reason to consider it because their peer-to-peer pages fit into the same donation environment.

Responsive design is another practical strength. Fundraising pages are intended to work across mobile and larger screens, which suits social sharing, where a supporter may first encounter a campaign on a phone. The combination of mobile presentation, page personalisation, and sharing gives each fundraiser the basic tools to promote an appeal without requiring a separate campaign website.

What to weigh

The GiveWP dependency is the first consideration. Organisations looking only for a standalone peer-to-peer fundraising plugin will need to account for the fact that this add-on is built to integrate with GiveWP core and its donation management features. The overall setup therefore involves a broader fundraising stack rather than one narrowly focused plugin.

There is also more administration than with a single donation form. Every personalised page introduces another campaign surface to organise, review, and keep aligned with the main appeal. That participant-led structure is the point of peer-to-peer fundraising, but it also means an organisation must provide clear campaign guidance and maintain oversight of pages, goals, and reported activity. The reporting tools describe fundraising performance and donor engagement, but the supplied feature information does not establish deeper custom reporting or specialist campaign automation.

Who it suits

Give Peer-to-Peer fits organisations that already use GiveWP and want supporters to take an active role in fundraising. It is particularly relevant when personal stories, social sharing, individual targets, and visible progress are more useful than directing every donor through one central appeal.

It is less compelling for a site that only needs a standard donation form or has no capacity to coordinate multiple supporter-created pages. For the right organisation, though, the combination of personalised campaigns, gateway support, recurring donations, progress tracking, and GiveWP integration covers the core mechanics of a distributed fundraising drive without moving those activities away from WordPress.
