Mission is a free, open-source WordPress donation plugin built for nonprofits. Accept one-time and recurring donations, manage donors and campaigns, give your supporters a self-service dashboard, and track everything from a modern admin \u2014 without paying for a single add-on.<\/p>\n\n
Most donation plugins lock the features you actually need behind a paid tier. Recurring donations? Add-on. Custom fields? Add-on. Donor dashboards, fee recovery, exports? Add-on, add-on, add-on. Mission takes a different approach: every feature ships in the free plugin, and we're funded by an optional tip donors can choose to add at checkout. Donors can change the tip, lower it, or set it to zero. 100% of the donation amount always reaches your nonprofit.<\/p>\n\n
The result is a donation platform that grows with your organization without surprise upgrade prompts. The plugin you install today is the plugin handling your donations next year, with no upsell screens between you and your supporters.<\/p>\n\n
No paid add-ons. Ever.<\/strong>\nRecurring donations, donor dashboards, campaign management, custom fields, tribute donations, fee recovery, exports, activity logs \u2014 all included in the free plugin. There is no \"Mission Pro\" version, no premium tier, and no upsell at checkout.<\/p>\n\n Modern donation forms that convert.<\/strong>\nMulti-step forms with suggested amounts, custom amounts, tribute dedications, anonymous donations, optional fee recovery. Built to feel quick and trustworthy on every device.<\/p>\n\n Built for performance.<\/strong>\nThe donation form is built on the WordPress Interactivity API \u2014 no React on the public-facing site, no bloated JavaScript, fast page loads for your donors. Donor data lives in dedicated database tables, not post meta, so reporting stays fast as your donor list grows into the thousands.<\/p>\n\n The Donation Form block can be dropped into any post, page, or campaign. Configure it once and it adapts to your campaign and your brand:<\/p>\n\n Recurring donations are the single biggest revenue lever for nonprofits, and they're the feature most plugins charge extra for. Mission ships them free:<\/p>\n\n Drop the Donor Dashboard block on any page and your supporters get a self-service portal. They can:<\/p>\n\n Every action your donors can take in the dashboard is one less email in your inbox.<\/p>\n\n Run a single ongoing campaign or dozens of named campaigns side by side:<\/p>\n\n Mission ships eleven campaign and donation blocks: donation form, donate button, campaign card, campaign grid, campaign image, campaign progress bar, campaign statistic, donor wall, recent donors, top donors, and donor dashboard. Mix and match them to build campaign pages that match your brand.<\/p>\n\n The admin dashboard surfaces what fundraisers care about: total revenue, donation count, average donation, repeat donor count, top donor, and month-over-month growth \u2014 in test and live modes side by side.<\/p>\n\n Need the data outside WordPress? Export donors, transactions, campaigns, and subscriptions to CSV or JSON in a single click.<\/p>\n\n A built-in activity log records every donation, refund, subscription event, webhook, email, and admin action with a 90-day retention window so you can audit anything that happened on your site.<\/p>\n\n Mission processes donations through Stripe Connect with direct charges:<\/p>\n\n Stripe is currently the only supported gateway. We chose to build a single deep gateway integration before adding more.<\/p>\n\n Mission is built to fit any organization or individual raising money online:<\/p>\n\n Mission is funded by donor tips, not by selling features. Here's exactly how that works:<\/p>\n\n Mission is open source and built to be extended. Eighty-plus actions and filters let you hook into every major event, customize every output, and integrate with the rest of your stack. A few examples:<\/p>\n\n A REST API exposes every entity for headless integrations, and a model-based data layer ( The full source \u2014 including all build sources \u2014 lives at github.com\/mission-wp\/mission<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n The full, unminified source code for this plugin is publicly available on GitHub at https:\/\/github.com\/mission-wp\/mission<\/p>\n\n The repository contains the original See the README in the repository for full development setup, contribution guidelines, and a description of the build pipeline.<\/p>\n\n This plugin connects to the following third-party services:<\/p>\n\n Mission uses Stripe<\/a> to process donations. When a donor submits a donation form, payment data is sent directly from the donor's browser to Stripe's servers via Stripe.js. The plugin also receives webhook notifications from Stripe for payment confirmations, refunds, and subscription updates.<\/p>\n\n Mission connects to api.missionwp.com<\/a> (operated by the plugin author) for the following:<\/p>\n\n Feature signup<\/strong> \u2014 If you opt in to notifications about upcoming features (under Tools > Features), your email is sent to the Mission API.<\/p><\/li>\n Mission Terms of Service<\/a><\/p><\/li>\n Mission uses Gravatar<\/a> to display profile images for donors in the admin dashboard (Donors and Transactions screens) and on the public-facing Donor Wall block. When one of these views is rendered, the visitor's browser requests an avatar image from Yes. Every feature ships in the free plugin \u2014 there is no Pro tier, no premium add-ons, and no plan to introduce one. Mission is funded by optional tips that donors can choose to add at checkout. They can change the tip, lower it, or set it to zero, and 100% of the donation amount always reaches your nonprofit.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. There is no upgrade prompt, no upsell screen, and no premium version. The plugin you install today includes every feature Mission ships, and that is not going to change.<\/p><\/dd>\n Mission currently supports Stripe via Stripe Connect for credit and debit card donations. We focused on building a deep Stripe integration before adding more gateways.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes \u2014 included free, with no add-on required. Donors can choose weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annual frequencies (configurable per form). Renewals are processed automatically via Stripe with retry on failure, and donors can pause, resume, or cancel their own subscriptions from the donor dashboard.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. The donation form is fully public and requires no account. If a donor wants to manage their recurring donations or download receipts later, they can sign in to the donor dashboard with a magic link sent to the email address they used when donating.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Every form has its own settings: amounts, frequencies, fields, fee handling, color, anonymous donation toggle, tribute support, and custom fields (text, textarea, select, radio, checkbox). Layout, spacing, and typography use WordPress's native block controls, and themes can restyle the form freely thanks to low-specificity CSS, The headline difference is the business model. GiveWP and Charitable both run on a freemium model where the most useful features \u2014 recurring donations, fee recovery, custom fields, advanced reports, peer-to-peer fundraising \u2014 are paid add-ons that stack into a meaningful yearly cost. Mission flips this: every feature is free, and the platform is funded by optional donor tips instead.<\/p>\n\n If you want a single open-source plugin without surprise costs, and Stripe handles your payments, Mission is the simplest path to launch.<\/p><\/dd>\n Free community support lives on the WordPress.org support forum<\/a> and on GitHub issues<\/a>. Feature requests, bug reports, and questions are all welcome there.<\/p><\/dd>\n Please report security issues privately by emailing hello@missionwp.com rather than opening a public GitHub issue. We will respond promptly and credit you in the changelog if you would like.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\nPowerful donation forms<\/h4>\n\n
