DonorSee Partner Newsletter | June
We are midway through June and things are really heating up for us at DonorSee (in a good way)!
We're thrilled to share that we have some amazing product advancements underway. We’re in the process of creating a next generation product for nonprofits that will blend seamlessly with our partners' brands and websites. It will be easier than ever to engage and grow community while integrating with DonorSee!?More to come on this new feature very soon...?
Over the last 3 months, we've seen fantastic generosity, with the DonorSee community donating an additional 40% on average to the amount our partners raised from their own networks. This is a testament to the causes they champion, and the generosity of the DonorSee community.?
June 24th will mark one year since the passing of DonorSee Founder Gret Glyer. We wish to celebrate Gret's life and his lasting legacy of dreaming big, taking action and building community. For anyone who would like to join us, stay tuned next week for a big announcement.
The momentum at DonorSee continues to build, and it is thanks to our community of incredible donors and our partners who inspire us every day.?
??New Partner Profile
We have a brand?new partner profile page?that we are very excited to share. This redesign will help nonprofits manage projects and engage with donors even easier than before.?
???Recurring Donations
We understand that continuously asking for donations can be difficult. On the other hand, recurring subscriptions provide greater stability and consistency for nonprofits.
We have been working on our subscription features and have an exciting update on the way this month. This new functionality will help nonprofits convert more once-off donors to recurring supporters, enabling them to have a greater impact.
?? Coming soon: White-labeled DonorSee Experience?
Deliver the DonorSee experience to your donors with your branding. Provide the 10-star donor experience but with your custom branded profile, emails and your own dedicated URL!
??FUNDRAISING TIPS
Three quick tips to help maximize social media engagement this month:
Make donating easy:?Instagram and TikTok do not want users to leave their platforms. That's why links in posts are not clickable.?Linktree, for example,?is a free tool which helps users connect their audiences directly to DonorSee projects through one link which can be added to your social media bio.
Include a call to action in your social media posts:?Make it simple. Have one call to action for the donor and make it easy for them to follow through.
Avoid sending footage as videos via WhatsApp:?Social media platforms have quality filters. WhatsApp severely compresses video footage which reduces the quality of your content. When sending a clip via WhatsApp to your team, make sure you send it as a document to avoid compressing the video. Watch?this 90 second tutorial?to learn how!
