Mightycause User Account Basics for Donors

Navigating Mightycause

We’ve designed our website to be user-friendly. All of the options you need to get around on Mightycause are right at the top of the page.

This navigation bar will appear on every page on Mightycause, so you can always get to where you need to go. Here is what the different options do:

If you are not logged in or you are new to Mightycause, you will see the "Log In" option next to the search bar in the upper right corner.

When you are logged into your Mightycause account, you’ll see your name and user avatar on the right side of the navigation bar. (If you haven’t uploaded an avatar yet, it will be a randomly-assigned illustration.)

When you are logged in and click on your avatar you’ll be able to access your user account site menu.

Navigating Mightycause on a Mobile Device or Tablet

Mightycause is designed to be responsive to the size of your screen but it will look a bit different on a mobile device or tablet. Here’s what your homepage looks like:

Once you login, clicking/tapping on your avatar or photo on the top right will bring up the same options you have on the desktop site.

Signing up for a Mightycause Account

If you’re new to Mightycause and would like to create an account, click the “Log In” option in the navigation bar. The "Log in or sign up" page will appear.

You have a couple of different sign up options. You can login with your Facebook account, with Google, or with your email address. Choose the option that is easiest for you!

Sign up method and permissions needed

Facebook: When you choose to sign up using your Facebook account, you will need to log into your Facebook account (unless you’re already logged in). Click “Continue as [Your Name]” to proceed. We will access your profile picture, name and email address. We don’t post on your behalf, and we won’t have access to your private information.

Google: You can sign up easily using your Google account. Many of us are logged in to Google already (especially if you’re using Chrome), so this option makes signing up and staying logged in a snap. Mightycause will need to access your email address and public profile information. We will not have access to your emails, Google Drive, or any other personal information.

Email: This is the simplest option. Mightycause does not need any additional permissions when you sign up with email. Simply add your email and then enter a password of your choice when the password line appears.

Your User Profile

When you sign up for Mightycause, you’ll have a user profile page where you can track contributions and access receipts for donations, manage recurring donations, manage any fundraisers you’ve created, and add a photo and information that shows your personality to the Mightycause community.

You can access your user profile by clicking any of the tabs under your name.

When you’re on your profile page, you’ll see your name and user avatar. Underneath, you will see different tabs that you can toggle between.

Editing Your Profile

You can make updates to your name, and avatar using the pencil icons to the right of each item. You are welcome to upload a photo of yourself to use as your user avatar (1:1 image, should be at least 300px by 300px).

To update your user profile information, click the "Settings” tab.

Here you can update your email address, change your password and add Multi-Factor Authentication to your account. 

Further down in your "Settings" tab you can also adjust: 

Notification Emails

When you create a Mightycause account, you are automatically opted into receiving certain emails from us. You can manage the notifications you receive in your account settings.

Payment Methods

To make donating simple and easy, you can save your credit card information to your Mightycause account, so you won’t have to enter it each time you donate. You can view which payment methods you have saved to your account here, and remove any payment methods you would like.

Bank Account

You can connect your bank account to your Mightycause account. This feature is for people running personal fundraisers, so if you’re on Mightycause to donate, you don’t need to worry about this option and should save your credit card information under Payment Methods.

Connected Apps

You can connect social media accounts, such as Facebook, Google, and Instagram accounts to your Mightycause account. This section of your settings page is where you can see which accounts are connected, and remove accounts you do not want connected to your Mightycause account.

Your Donation History

You can view and download your giving history, print receipts, and download annual giving statements under the “Donation History” tab.
