Discover how nonprofits achieved measurable results with these low-effort, high-impact strategies
You need fundraising wins now. But between donor stewardship, board reports, campaign planning, and a dozen other priorities, everything feels urgent. Meanwhile, your board is asking about ROI while donors abandon donation forms that haven't been updated since 2015, and you're still hand-entering event gifts instead of cultivating your next major gift prospect.
The good news is that you can optimize your digital fundraising funnel with just a few clicks, often without any help from IT. Check out these easy-to-use features in Fundraise Up that can help you drive immediate, measurable results.
1. Make checkouts smarter and faster
As you probably know all too well, nonprofit leaders often have limited resources for updating their digital fundraising systems. That’s why so many nonprofit donation pages appear virtually unchanged from a decade ago. They're plagued by excessive form fields, awkward navigation flows, and designs that only work well on desktop computers. Today's donors expect a better experience—and when they don't get it, they simply abandon the donation process.
That’s where Fundraise Up’s Checkout feature comes in. It’s built for modern behavior. Mobile-optimized, frictionless, and smart enough to recommend the right gift amounts and frequency, it’s designed to get donors through the finish line without hesitation.
2. Launch high-impact campaigns in minutes
When every minute counts, so does every click. In moments of urgency, you need more than a standard donation form. You need the ability to launch compelling, high-converting campaigns instantly, with messaging and visuals tailored to the moment.
Fundraise Up’s Campaign Pages solution provides a branded, mobile-optimized donation experience that adjusts to the donor’s context. The result is a streamlined, relevant journey that improves conversion and supports immediate action.
3. Accept donations anywhere with a Virtual Terminal
Fundraising doesn’t only happen on your website. It happens on phone calls with major donors, during telethons, at galas and conferences. If your tools only support online transactions, you’re missing big opportunities.
The Virtual Terminal tool makes it easy for any staff member or volunteer to accept donations on the spot. It’s built directly into your Fundraise Up dashboard, so there’s no need for extra merchant accounts or reconciliation headaches. Just login, enter the gift, and it processes immediately–securely and in sync with your CRM.
4. Turn one-time donors into recurring supporters
Recurring giving is the lifeblood of sustainable fundraising. But all too often, that option isn’t front and center in the donor experience. Fundraise Up flips that logic with the Recurring Giving feature.
From the moment a donor lands on your checkout page, the platform aims to build a long-term relationship with them. If they give a one-time gift, it offers a well-timed prompt to turn it into a recurring one. These upsells are tested, proven, and ready to go from the moment you launch.
5. Get your data when you need it
If you feel like you lack immediate visibility into your digital fundraising performance, you’re not alone. We often hear that fundraising pros have to wait days for reports, can’t access donor data without IT help, or have to piece together insights from multiple exports.
Fundraise Up gives you immediate access to the data that matters. Donation performance, recurring gift trends, mobile versus desktop behavior, and more, with Insights Dashboards anyone can use. You can also sync all the donation and supporter data with any other external tool, like your CRM or BI, through powerful native integrations, exports, or APIs.
