We always plan for the unexpected, but we also set up continuity and contingency plans for any occurrence.
Our latest developments include a fundraising page with reduced features and a back-up fundraising page in the event of significant service slowdowns or serious service disruptions, respectively. While we don’t anticipate needing this, these options guarantee a nonprofit's ongoing fundraising. Learn about the workarounds we have developed in case the unexpected happens.
It is once again possible to make PayPal donations through Charity Navigator’s Giving Basket.
For a brief period, donors who opted not to cover the PayPal transaction fee were unable to complete GIving Basket donations using PayPal as the payment method. Read about covering the payment processing fees when giving via the Giving Basket and how to get assistance if there is a problem processing a Giving Basket donation.A hiccup with ampersands (the & symbol) in the event title on Event Ticketing pages has been repaired.
Full titles now appear in Google calendar invites, whereas any texts following the & symbol had been cut off. Learn more about how to build an Event Ticketing page.We shared a new Member Story about Wellness Warriors, a Give Lively member nonprofit since 2019.
Wellness Warriors provides new opportunities for cancer survivors to heal – both physically and emotionally – by participating in their own recovery and a mutually empowering dragon boat team. Read about its creative approach to Peer-to-Peer Fundraising. For a short time, the anonymity toggle was missing from Simple Donation Widgets.
The toggle is now back and fully functional, allowing donors to remain anonymous if they choose. Learn how to add the ability to make private/anonymous donations and how to use embeddable widgets to collect donations on your website. We reverted to prior settings in the
Details
column in the
Transactions
export for a Stripe Payout.
Going forward, when nonprofits navigate to Payout
and export the Transactions
report, the Details
column will include new customers’ names, not email addresses. Learn how to export donor data from Stripe. We've added Venmo as a payment method and made PayPal available for recurring payments.
These are just the latest new payment methods, which already include credit/debit cards, ACH/bank transfers, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Spoiler: donor-advised funds (DAFs) are next. Learn about Venmo and monthly PayPal.
The dropdown list of US states and territories on widgets is now fully scrollable.
For a moment, some of the dropdown answers were cut off.The Team search function in the
Supporters
box (aka Peer-to-Peer Leaderboard) on Campaign Pages functions normally once again.
For a brief time, a search would result in a loading wheel and fail to yield results. Learn how to set up the Peer-to-Peer Leaderboard. In anticipation of GivingTuesday, we just shared a big update about major improvements to our platform.
These include:- fresh fundraising page design enhancements
- expanded custom questions on donation forms
- multiple improvements to the donor payment process.
Because nonprofit passion is the bounce in our step, we also included mention of a few major milestones powered by our growing membership of approximately 9,000 nonprofits, and some important reminders and company news. Read the full article and learn how your GivingTuesday campaigns and giving season can be better than ever.
