Donorbox is built keeping in mind the ease of use for nonprofits, to allow you to create powerful and customized donation forms. We are continuously working to develop advanced donor management features so you have clear visibility of all your donors and donor activity.
In an effort to improve efficiency, we have revamped the donation form editor and introduced a series of new features that significantly help manage donors better.
With an improved user experience, we are now letting you create faster campaigns while offering the same consistency and personalization that you expect.
Here are all the new feature updates:
Our new product updates support nonprofits by minimizing efforts on setting up donation forms and letting you focus on your nonprofit goal and mission.
In this post, we will explain all the new features mentioned above, and their functionality.
We’ve redesigned our donation form editor to make it easier and faster than ever, to get your campaign off the ground.
You can now start editing straight away on the left-hand side of the dashboard and each step you take will be highlighted on the diagram of the donation form on the right-hand side, so you can see exactly the part you are editing!
You can now add many enticing features to your donation form to boost your donation value & encourage donors to complete their donation.
Choose a default donation interval and add a heart-symbol to your organization’s preferred recurring donation interval.
Add a compelling Call-to-Action message that will appear at the top of your donation form.
All the advanced options are still available in the same editor. You can access it at any time. We plan to upgrade these options in near future with new, improved options to further increase your fundraising potential.
Moments allows your organization to automatically receive notifications about a donor’s behavior, allowing you to contact them immediately to resolve an issue, congratulate them on an anniversary, or thank them for their continued support.
Moments are located on the left-hand side menu.
The number next to “moments” shows how many moments are currently ready to be actioned.
When clicked, you will see a list of donors, and their respective “moment” to contact.
The following events will cause a donor to appear on the Moments list:
1. Once a donor appears on the list of Moments, there will be two buttons/actions available to the organization- “Record” and “Dismiss”
2. Once the organization has contacted the donor (through email, phone etc), they will record the communication action in the communication tab.
3. Dismiss: This option will remove the donor from the Moments list.
We are working to create more moments/events to be updated in the coming months.
Pro Tip: When attempting to reach a donor, use the ‘Record Communication’ button to enter the details of your interactions directly into the ‘Communication Records’ section of your donor’s profile.
With communication records you can record any important information regarding your donor, for example, you can record the history of your communication with the individual donor, you can record a note to remember to involve them in your upcoming gala fundraiser or to make sure they are notified about the completion of a specific project.
The goal is to make it easier for you to record specific communications with individual donors for future reference.
(adding a communication record)
Inbound communications appear on the left, outbound on the right.
You can record internal notes in the same way, simply select “Internal Note” as Direction.
Your internal note will appear in the middle of the communications record logs.
Pro Tip: It’s important to introduce a procedure in a nonprofit’s fundraising strategy that includes recording all donor communications within this section. This ensures your team has a holistic view of the donor’s entire communication history.
We’re constantly adding new filters to Donorbox, the newest of which is the locations and donations section of the donors page. Now, you can filter your donors by country, by the type of donation frequency they’ve made, and also the amount of donations made.
Crowdfunding is the latest way to raise funds with Donorbox. Not only can you create inviting fundraising pages, but you can also post updates, email your subscribers, and share links to your organization’s social media profiles – all from the one page! Your supporters can keep up to date with the latest from your campaign via your own update emails and share your page easily.
You can create a crowdfunding page by selecting to create a “Fundraising Page & Crowdfunding” campaign option under Campaign Creator.
