QR Codes for Nonprofits and Places of Worship
Sign up free to track scans, edit destinations & customize design
Community groups often rely on printed notices, bulletins and posters. A QR code helps a visitor take the next step, such as giving, volunteering or finding the next event, from where they stand.
How nonprofits and places of worship use QR codes
Donation link
A code on the bulletin, a table card or a poster opens your donation page. Make it easy to reach on a phone.
Volunteer and newcomer sign-up
A code at the entrance opens a short form for new visitors or volunteers.
Service times and events
A code on the notice board opens an up-to-date schedule. Use a dynamic code so the printed board never goes out of date.
Printed newsletters
A code beside a story links to the full article or a video, so the printed page stays short.
Set it up in three steps
- Pick the one action you most want, usually giving or sign-up.
- Create a code that links directly to that page.
- Add a short invitation, such as "Scan to give", and print it where people gather.
Mistakes to avoid
- Sending people to a donation page that is hard to use on a phone.
- Putting too many codes on one notice board.
- Forgetting to update the link when your event or form changes.
Frequently asked questions
Is it free for a small charity?
Static codes are free to create. Editable dynamic codes and scan analytics are part of Pro, with a 7-day trial.
Can the same printed code work next year?
Yes, with a dynamic code. Point it at the new page when the event or campaign changes.
Can people scan it from the back of a hall?
Only if it is large. Use a big code on a projected slide and leave it up long enough.
