What tools does Donorbox offer for Jewish fundraising?

While Donorbox isn't exclusively a Jewish fundraising platform or a synagogue donation software, our tools can help you run online and in-person fundraising campaigns throughout the year and leading up to the high holy days to collect contributions. These may include mitzvah campaigns, Yom Kippur appeals, and Passover campaigns, to name just a few.

Like other prominent Jewish fundraising platforms, Donorbox lets you add suggested donation amounts in multiples of 18 to reflect Chai ($18, $36, $54, etc.) to your tzedakah online giving form. You can do the same with a donation kiosk powered by the Donorbox Live™ app, enabling you to accept cashless gifts anywhere and anytime, including at your place of worship.

If some of your supporters still prefer cash or checks, don't worry, you can still log those in Donorbox to get a comprehensive, real-time view of your fundraising campaigns.

Donorbox Memberships allow your most fervent supporters to become members and receive exclusive benefits and communications. With our Crowdfunding platform, you can set up a Jewish crowdfunding campaign in just a few minutes, add a goal meter to track your fundraising progress in real time, and instantly share it with your community. Donorbox goes beyond what most other Jewish fundraising software offers by also helping you sell event tickets online, use peer-to-peer fundraising to expand your reach, leverage mobile tzedakah giving with Text-to-Give for Jewish organizations, and so much more.

How quick is it to get started with Donorbox?

Donorbox for Jewish nonprofits is quick and simple to start as an individual or nonprofit — your organization doesn't even need an EIN or tax-exempt status to begin! Sign up for a Donorbox account and start your first campaign in minutes.

Do you have to be a 501(c)(3) organization to use Donorbox?

No — nonprofits, businesses, and individuals can use Donorbox to raise funds through charitable giving regardless of their tax-exempt status. While tax exemptions from the IRS can help your organization solicit donations, there are many ways to raise funds without them. Check out this article on the subject.

Is it free for faith-based fundraising organizations to use Donorbox?

Yes, the Donorbox Standard plan has no start-up or monthly fees. You can create unlimited, customized donation forms and pages, Events, and more, along with donor management and reporting capabilities for a modest platform and processing fee. Optionally, ask donors to cover these fees and ensure their full donation goes straight to your cause!

Donorbox Pro and Premium plans take your fundraising to the next level with advanced features like stock & cryptocurrency donations, integrations and API access, AI assistance, recurring donation upsell, personalized support, and much more. Learn all about our pricing here.

How does Donorbox allow customization?

Organizations can customize their temple fundraising campaign donation forms and pages in several ways to increase Jewish donor engagement. In fact, our OmniGive Form is one of the most customizable donation forms you'll find. Start with a pre-built theme and personalize your form to make it cohesive with your organization's branding and messaging using customized colors, text, images, and more. Plus, add impact details, suggested donation amounts, designated funds, tribute gifts, and so much more to tell your story or send your message during high holy days fundraising campaigns.

You can also take your form to the next level with advanced customizations, which include impact and header imagery, trust badge images, and expanded content panels on pop-up forms.

How can my nonprofit provide tax documentation to my donors?

Donorbox sends automatic tax receipts to donors immediately after they complete their gift. You can customize these receipts with a thank-you message, information about your organization or synagogue, and more. Donorbox also enables organizations to easily send year-end tax receipts to all donors with details of the gifts they made during the year!

What tools can Donorbox integrate with?

Donorbox can seamlessly integrate with thousands of platforms, from CRM and donor management software like Salesforce, to accounting tools like QuickBooks Online and marketing tools like ActiveCampaign and Google Analytics. This means you don't have to get rid of the tools you know and love when you start working with our online giving platform.
