Progress metrics
Include progress metrics in your campaigns to show your success to date and help encourage potential supporters to join your cause.
Note: Progress metrics and bars display the intended donation amount and do not include fees. For example, if a donor chose to give $100, then the progress metrics will show $100 whether or not the donor covered fees.
This ensures that progress bars reflect how much is going toward your organization rather than fees.
Add progress metrics
Progress metrics can be added to any Campaign Studio campaign. To add progress metrics:
- Open your Campaign Studio campaign
- Select the Pages tab and the page you want to edit
- Drag and drop the Progress metrics widget to a location on your page
- Select the widget on your page to edit the appearance
- Note: When you change the bar color, the background color will automatically adjust to ensure accessibility.
Tip: People are more willing to give when they see you are closer to your fundraising goal. For the same reason, we recommend hiding your progress bar until you reach around 20% of your fundraising goal.

Frequently asked questions
The progress bar on my campaign displays the gross donation amount. Why is that?
Older campaigns still using Classy Mode to calculate transaction fees will display the gross donation amount rather than the intended amount.
Why isn't the progress bar increasing?
The progress bar won't increase when there's less than 5% of the campaign goal. The bar will increase with each donation after the 5% has been reached.
Can I update the goal of the progress metrics?
Yes, you can update the goal by going to Settings (or Design for legacy campaigns), then select About and change the Fundraising Goal.
