A text box now allows for alternative text (aka “alt text”) labels to be added to images nonprofits upload for use on fundraising pages.
This short text description of an image helps users with low vision who use screen readers or other assistive technology. Added “alt text” labels are part of our ongoing accessibility conformance efforts. Learn about "alt texts" and other nonprofit accessibility recommendations, as well as recent accessibility updates.

The new website page announces upcoming Give Lively-hosted webinars and serves as an easy-access library to past webinars.
The collection of monthly webinars, with companion resources like downloadable PDF guides, offers guidance and strategies from nonprofit peers and industry experts navigating today’s fundraising landscape.

Donors using a keyboard to navigate through a Give Lively donation form no longer lose their selected suggested donation amount when they tab into the custom amount field.
Now, a chosen selected amount is only cleared when a custom amount is entered into the field. Donors clicking on the custom amount field with a mouse were not affected. Donation forms on Event Ticketing pages remain the same for now. Learn more about accessibility at Give Lively.
We've added five fields to the Give Lively Salesforce integration.
Opportunity:
  • give_lively__Payment_Platform_Charge_ID__c
  • give_lively__Payment_Method__c (text)
  • give_lively__Additional_Donation_Amount__c (currency)
  • give_lively__Live_Display_QR_Code_Used__c (text, 255)
Contact:
  • give_lively__Organization_Name__c
In addition, Payment Platform Charge ID and Payment Method previously synced only to the Payment record related to the Opportunity. They now sync to the Opportunity as well. To see these fields on records, add them to your page layouts.

Peer-to-Peer Fundraising pages now keep the selected donation frequency when donors using Google Chrome employ the browser “back" button to make changes to a gift.
Previously, when in Chrome, donors who used browser navigation to go back and edit a one-time donation might see the frequency reset to monthly, even on campaigns set up for one-time giving. See how Peer-to-Peer Fundraising pages work.
The virtual event location link in Event Ticketing receipts now opens correctly.
For a brief time, an extra http:// or https:// was being added to the
Virtual Location
URL, which broke the link donors received in their receipt email. See how to add a virtual event location to your Event Ticketing page (bullet 4(2)).
Nonprofits are now able to send an automatic email receipt to monthly donors for every payment, not just the first one.
By default, monthly donors still receive an email receipt only for the first charge, which also indicates the recurring plans; however nonprofits now have the option to send a receipt for all subsequent charges, with either the existing thank-you message or a customized recurring message. Learn about customized thank-you messages and receipts.
