Thermometer

A thermometer slide template uses a thermometer to show the percentage of a value. A thermometer graphic looks like a classic thermometer. Essentially, it’s a vertical graph with numerical values instead of degrees. The “temperature” is the shaded part in the thermometer graphic, which usually represents a defined value.

A fundraiser thermometer graphic might display the progress of a current campaign or program. For example, if you have a fundraiser goal of $5,000 and the current amount raised is $1,500, the thermometer graphic would display a “temperature” of 30%.
