| Quick answer: Embedding a giving list places your in-kind needs directly on your website, usually your “Donate” or “Ways to Give” page, so supporters can give your needed items without leaving your site. It builds trust and removes a click that loses donors. MyRegistry provides the embed code, lets you add your logo and message, and can sync your Amazon or Target lists in so everything shows in one branded place. |
Sending donors off-site costs you conversions and brand consistency. Embedding your giving list fixes both. Here’s how and why, and how MyRegistry makes it a copy-paste job.
The easiest way to turn supporter goodwill into the specific items your cause needs is a nonprofit giving list from MyRegistry, a free, universal list where you add what you need from any retailer and donors give it directly. We’ll reference it throughout.
Why Embedding Matters
| Embedded MyRegistry list | Off-site link only | |
|---|---|---|
| Donor stays on your site | Yes | No |
| Consistent branding | Yes (logo + message) | Partial |
| Builds trust | Higher | Lower |
| Clicks to give | Fewer | More (drop-off) |
| Keep donors on your site — get the embed code from MyRegistry for Nonprofits . |
How to Do It
Create and brand your MyRegistry giving list, then place the provided embed code on your donation or “ways to give” page — most website builders accept an embed/HTML block. Supporters browse your needed items inline and check out, with goods shipping to you. If you maintain Amazon, Target, or Walmart lists, sync them into MyRegistry first so everything appears together.
