Quick walkthrough of our new End-of-Year Fundraising features

…or any timed campaign! The video above shows the features, but here they are broken down below.

Dedicated Stats

Fundraising Bar now clearly highlights your goal and the end date of the campaign, as well as the amount raised, the days remaining, and the percentage funded.

Simple Layout

Page has simple layout to highlight your pitch video (or image) so you can easily display in person, at your space, on a laptop, monitor, or phone — as well as on your screen.

One-Time Donations

Campaign focuses on one-time donations, and matches those donations automatically to the closest annual membership tiers.

You can also set special promotions (discounts, rewards, benefits) to promote your audience to act now.

…and Monthly, too

For those that can’t do the higher tiers, the impulse options at affordable monthly increments are also easily available

Custom Donations

For those that just want to give whatever their heart desires, you can do that, too — Friends will automatically math the donation to the relevant membership tier

Simple, clear, inspiring.

That’s how it looks.

Reports are simple, clear, and inspiring, too!

See how you succeed

Easily see how successful your campaign is, and where that success is coming from.

Promotion v Upsell

Helps keep track of where funding is coming for — either direction promotion of the campaign, or from impulse purchases while RSVPing or buying tickets.

Off-platform Donors

You can even import donations off-platform (checks, paypal, or any other method preferred by potentially higher-tier donors) and still offer them easy benefits through your platform and keep track of the stats in one place.
