CharityGlow is a WordPress plugin built specifically for nonprofits, churches, and NGOs that want to run online fundraising without leaving their WordPress site. It lets organizations accept one-time and recurring donations through Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, and bank transfers, and embed donation forms anywhere using shortcodes or blocks such as [charityglow_form], [charityglow_campaigns], and [charityglow_donor_wall]. Site owners can build fundraising campaigns with goals and deadlines, track progress with visual progress bars, and manage a built-in donor CRM that records donation history, lifetime value, and supporter engagement. The plugin ships with five mobile-responsive form templates (Classic, Inline, Minimal, Card, and Wizard) and supports 25+ currencies, making it usable by international charities. Setup is designed to be quick: install the free version from WordPress.org, connect a Stripe or PayPal account, and drop a form on any page. A free tier covers unlimited sites with core donation and campaign features, while paid Pro and Pro Plus plans add unlimited campaigns, PDF receipts, advanced campaign reporting, an Elementor widget, white-labeling, and dedicated support for a limited number of sites.
