This month, we've got a good amount of feature promotions and are clearing some room for exciting new features coming soon. We've also included an important processing fee update in the Housekeeping section below, which will impact organizations collecting payments in multiple currencies.

The Raiser's Edge NXT integration now has improved mapping for recurring donations.

Empower peer-to-peer fundraisers with prewritten default appeal text. Providing default text will speed up the fundraising page creation experience and provide your fundraisers with accurate language to share about your organization and campaign.

Generate default fundraiser appeal text based on custom prompts and information about your campaign. AppealAI is our first feature that integrates OpenAI and leverages the same Large Language Model that powers ChatGPT.

When a new P2P Campaign is created, several campaign emails will now include helpful content and will be toggled on by default. We hope this improvement eases the setup for new campaigns.

Find and bulk resync Funraise records that have failed to sync with Salesforce.

Additionally, we've added an action in the Transactions section to bulk resync any Transactions that have failed to sync with Salesforce: Resync failed Salesforce syncs.

You can now access peer-to-peer campaign emails for a particular Campaign Site from the top bar of the Campaign Site editor. We hope this improvement speeds up the asset creation process for your next campaign!

The SMS Valid filter has been removed from Supporter, Transaction, and Registration filter sets. This filter was also removed from any existing saved lists. This filter was removed because it was less helpful than intended. We recommend filtering by Phone → Exists when creating an SMS send list.

Starting June 1, 2023: International payments will incur an additional 1.5% fee

Over the past few years, card networks (like Visa and Mastercard) have increased the fees that payment processors are charged for card processing. These card network changes impact all payment processors, including Funraise Payments, which is powered by Stripe.

Because of these cost increases to payment processing, starting June 1, 2023, Funraise Payments will assess an additional 1.5% for international payments. International payments are payments in a currency other than your platform currency. View all processing fees with Funraise Payments.

Where possible, Funraise Payments matches Stripe's standard pricing. This change is also reflected in Stripe's standard pricing.
