Question

We're raising money as a company for a charity and we're looking for a live money pot to add onto the SharePoint intranet homepage, Any ideas or suggestions?

Answer 1

Hello @Ffion Roberts

Welcome to Q&A forum! A simple and professional way to add a live money pot to your SharePoint homepage is to use a fundraising platform that supports embedded widgets. If you're using platforms such as:

• JustGiving
• GoFundMe
• Enthuse
• Virgin Money Giving (if still applicable)
• Crowdfunder

Most of these services provide either:

• An embeddable widget, or
• A public fundraising page that you can display in an iframe.

How to set it up:

1. Create your company’s fundraising page on the chosen platform.
2. Copy the embed code provided by the platform (usually HTML or iframe).
3. Add it to your SharePoint site by using: The Embed Web Part (in modern SharePoint)

Add content to your page using the Embed web part - Microsoft Support

This gives you a real-time updating money pot that looks clean and integrates nicely into your intranet homepage.

Answer 2

To create a live money pot on your SharePoint intranet homepage, you might consider using a combination of Microsoft Forms and Power Automate. Here’s a suggestion on how to implement this:

1. Create a Microsoft Form: Set up a form where employees can contribute to the fundraising effort. You can include fields for the amount they wish to donate and any other relevant information.
2. Use Power Automate: Set up a flow in Power Automate that triggers when a new response is submitted in your Microsoft Form. This flow can aggregate the total amount raised and update a SharePoint list or a designated location on your SharePoint site.
3. Display the Total on SharePoint: Use the SharePoint list to display the total amount raised. You can create a web part on your SharePoint homepage that pulls in this data and displays it dynamically, showing the live total as contributions come in.

This approach allows you to have a real-time updating money pot directly on your SharePoint intranet homepage, engaging employees and encouraging further contributions.
