Join the fundraising movement! Join the fundraising movement!When 2025 brought major challenges for nonprofits, we stepped up with high-impact innovations to our most popular products.
And we didn’t do it alone – our users were there every step of the way, making requests, giving feedback, and inspiring us.
Together, we introduced products and features designed to maximize each and every touchpoint with donors, reduce workflows, and scale your fundraising.
Let’s see what we accomplished together in 2025.
Donorbox pioneered donor-friendly, multi-step donation forms ten years ago.
Now, we’ve taken the form you know and love to the next level. Meet the Donorbox OmniGive™ Donation Form.
And more. See all the features of this new form, designed to be the most advanced form in fundraising.
We already changed the in-person fundraising game with an app that transforms your tablet and card reader into a donation magnet that accepts payments made with cards and digital wallets.
But this year, we took our Donorbox Live™ app even further with tons of new features that make in-person giving irresistible.
The best way to fundraise in person is now even better. Don’t just take our word for it – see it in action:
This year, we also focused on adding features to Donorbox Events that will make your life easier – and your ticket purchasers happier.
Plus, we added the same payment methods available on Donorbox OmniGive™. That means your ticket purchasers have more than 22 ways to pay, and counting.

We introduced two new and exciting ways to measure and review your data.
First, sign up for performance summary emails to receive weekly or monthly summaries of your campaign performance. See how much you’ve raised, how many donations you received, the number of new donors, and more. Learn more.
Then, use two new reporting templates to get a better idea of your donors’ history. We introduced the Repeat One-Time Donors and SYBUNT (some years but unfortunately not this year) templates to make it easy to see when your donors have given in the past.
Better data means better decision making.
Don’t you love it when the tools you use work together?
We launched two new native integrations with popular tools:
Built for political organizations and candidates in the U.S. to instantly sync their donation data to their ISP account, streamline compliance, and spend more time engaging voters – not wrestling with reports.
Arts and culture organizations can now get the full picture with this integration. Sync event ticketing, in-person and online donations, and supporter data directly into Altru – no spreadsheets, no double entry, just the full story on every guest so you know exactly how to engage them in the future.
A gentle ask goes a long way. When we introduced Recurring Donation Upsell – a feature that prompts one-time donors to upgrade to a monthly gift – we were excited to see that 97% of donors stick around to surpass their original gift amount.
So, we wanted to give fundraisers even more control over how their donors upgrade.
Now you can customize the message donors see with Recurring Donation Upsell. Add dynamic variables like original and suggested amounts, and outline the impact their upgraded donation will make.
Appeal to their emotions with a personalized and sincere message.
If migrating all of your data from one platform to another sounds like a headache, we have you covered.
Now, you can easily migrate all PayPal recurring donations to Donorbox. Manage all donors in one place – meaning better fundraising and decision-making. Learn more.
We never rest when better fundraising is at stake. Behind the scenes, we’ve been working on some exciting advancements to Donorbox CRM.
Very soon, we’ll launch the advanced Donorbox CRM with a full suite of intuitive donor management and engagement tools, including Email Marketing for brand-aligned, high-impact engagement.
Join the waitlist and learn more about all Donorbox CRM has to offer.
There’s no doubt 2026 will bring some additional hurdles for nonprofits. Every step of the way, we’re here to serve as your fundraising partner – whether you’re fundraising online or in person, or looking to steward those hard-won donor relationships.
Thank you for trusting us with your mission. We promise to keep innovating so your tech stack is one less thing to worry about in 2026.
