There's a lot to love in the November release notes, including a new Campaign Site widget, Stock donations 🎉, and an improved giving experience with performance and visual updates to the Giving Form.
New this month
Top fundraisers Campaign Site widget
Released to all organizations, the top fundraisers and teams widget is a new section that can be added to a Campaign Site homepage to highlight your top fundraisers.
Donors Cover Fees V2—Fee slider
This update is being rolled out to all free accounts and remains in a closed beta for paid accounts. Donor Covers Fees V2 gives donors more control to select their preferred fee coverage amount with a fee slider, rather than a binary option.
Funraise Payments powered by Stripe
Funraise Payments is being rolled out to existing customers in phases. Funraise Payments is an improved payment processing solution that enables ACH payments with Stripe. If you have not yet upgraded to Funraise Payments, your account admin will receive more information about the timing and details for your organization's upgrade.

Housekeeping
Reminder—Fundraising Intelligence will experience a read-only maintenance window between January 24-31, 2023.
This update will only impact the Fundraising Intelligence section of the platform. During this read-only maintenance window, you will not be able to create or edit reports or dashboards. Reports and dashboards that you create prior to this window will be accessible and will continue to be updated. After the maintenance is completed, you will be able to continue to create and edit your reports and dashboards as normal.
