Hi Partners,

We're excited to share that our donation page functionality, which launched in 2022, has been a huge success! We're now gearing up to upgrade all partner donation pages to this new version by October 3rd, 2024.

Here’s a quick refresher on the new features in the latest version of Donation Pages.

If you have any questions, let us know at partners@rallyup.com.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this release, we have completely rethought and redesigned the RallyUp Donation Page to serve Organizations' modern fundraising needs better. It has been several years since any updates were made to our old Donation Pages, and we needed to redesign them to keep them competitive.  

We have organized the Donation Page into manageable and understandable steps so donors can effortlessly make donations. On the setup side, Organizers can easily create beautiful and powerful fundraising Donation Pages with minimal effort. Donation Pages will be a staple in many Organizations' fundraising arsenal. 

New Features 

Our entire philosophy when redesigning the Donation Page was to provide donors with a clean and easy-to-use interface while not sacrificing any flexibility and functionality for Organizations. In addition to a clean and easy-to-follow user interface, we've added new features to help Organizations raise more funds. New features were added based on a mix of customer feedback on the old Donation Pages as well as competitive research.

Rich Donation Presets 

Presets have been redesigned to allow adding a Title, Image, and Description to each one. These Rich Presets will allow Organizers to showcase the impact that each of their preset amounts will have on their mission which will help encourage their donors to give more and support more since the Organizations impact is clearly communicated.  

Title, Image, and Description are individual options that can be enabled for Presets. If the organizer still wants a simple Preset button, they can still do that too by just disabling those features.  

Monthly Donation Upsell 

Recurring Donors are a sought-after source of donation revenue for organizations. To help Organizations raise more funds and convert more multi-donation donors, we have added a new Recurring Donation Upsell feature to Donation Pages. When this feature is enabled, if a donor makes a one-time donation they will be asked if they want to convert it to a recurring donation instead. This maximizes the donation by taking a percentage of the one-time donation and offering it as a recurring donation, as shown in the upsell. Organizers can customize the content (Title and Description) on the Upsell step to make an organization or mission-specific appeal to donors.

Ability to Turn Donation Pages On/Off at Will 

To further add more flexibility to Donation Page users, we allow them to turn their donation page off anytime. Then, when they're ready to begin accepting donations again, they can just as quickly turn it back on.   

All other features of the previous Donation Pages remain as-is. Here is a complete list of Donation Page features:
