In our August release notes, we've got several new features and improvements including Donation Premiums (Thank You Gifts), Wealth Screening data dashboards, and an exciting announcement about DAFpay 🎉

Premiums are incentives or thank you gifts offered to donors when they make a contribution. They’re often used to encourage giving, promote loyalty, or highlight a campaign. A premium might be something tangible (like a t-shirt, mug, or tote bag), symbolic (like a commemorative pin), or experiential (such as event access).

Premiums are not included in all plans. Contact your Growth Manager to learn more!

You can now build reports in the Intelligence reporting module using Supporter data alone. This is especially helpful for organizations using Funraise's new Wealth Screening tools.

Speaking of wealth data and Intelligence...

Wealth screening data has been added to the Intelligence reporting module, enabling you to create custom reports and dashboards with wealth data. We’ve also added two new Intelligence dashboard templates that can be used to analyze and act on your wealth data.

Prospecting | Segments

A dashboard template with prebuilt supporters segments based on wealth data and giving history, including:

Prospecting | Overview

A visual dashboard template that brings all your wealth data into one place. Quickly see the size of key segments, the estimated giving capacity of scanned donors, and more.

Funraise and Chariot have partnered to offer DAFpay as a payment option on your Giving Forms. This will enable donors to easily donate through their DAF (Donor Advised Fund), right on your website and campaign pages. We expect DAFpay to be one of the most impactful new tools for the end-of-year giving season.

Filtering is being introduced in several sections, including Giving Forms, Email Campaigns, Events, and Sites. This highly-requested update makes it possible to quickly search these lists just like you can with most lists in the platform.

Today, the communications opt-in checkbox on forms covers both email and SMS. This checkbox will soon be separated into two checkboxes, one for each communication channel. Donors can select which communication channel they prefer, or both!

The Funraise Giving App will be sunset. After seeing great success with the browser-based Donor Portal, we'll be sunsetting the Giving App in favor of the browser-based version. Donors who use the app will be redirected seamlessly to the browser portal where they can continue managing their donations. We plan to continue building great features into the browser-based Donor Portal.

This update does not impact the Funraise App.

Today, Funraise's Two-Step Authentication is an optional layer of security. We'll soon be requiring multi-factor authentication for all users. As a part of this enhancement, we're introducing an email authentication method for those who prefer email over an authenticator app.

As we roll out this new requirement, you may be required to set up Two-Step Authentication before logging in. Don't worry, it's easy—and it's an impactful additional step to ensuring the security of your donor's data.

Funraise is a PCI Level 1 certified service provider, the highest standard possible for payment processing service providers. This enhancement builds upon our commitment to the security of your data.
