Pain - Charity & Nonprofit WordPress Theme

Pain – Charity & Nonprofit WordPress Theme is built for charities, NGOs, churches, animal rescues and community groups that raise money online. Donors give once or every month, supporters run their own peer-to-peer pages, and every gift gets a receipt with the tax statement for your country. Build the site in WPBakery Page Builder or Elementor: both editions are in the download.

One purchase gets you 10 demo homepages, 25 Pain elements, online donations with monthly giving, fee recovery and Gift Aid, peer-to-peer fundraising, tax receipts, volunteer roles, events, a shop, a Setup Wizard, one-click demo import and a child theme.

WHY CHARITIES CHOOSE PAIN

• Launch in an afternoon: the Setup Wizard asks for your country, organisation, currency, logo and colour, installs the plugins and imports a demo.
• Raise more each month: monthly giving, fee recovery and a Donate bar that stays on screen on phones.
• Receipts donors can use: 501©(3), Gift Aid, EU and Australian DGR statements with your registration number.
• Let supporters fundraise for you: peer-to-peer campaigns with fundraiser pages, teams and a leaderboard.
• Readable for everyone: a contrast mode, visible focus rings, a Skip to content link and reduced-motion support.
