The Future of Fundraising

Welcome to the Future of Fundraising.

This newsletter is called “The Future of Fundraising,” so whenever there is a moment of that future coming to fruition, it’s an important moment.

Just a year ago ‘Gift Agreement Management’ didn’t exist. However, this past week, the Givzey team reached a major milestone when we crossed the $10 Million mark for gift agreements managed by the Givzey platform.

This is important for fundraising at large in a few ways:

• Gift Agreement Management declutters and digitizes the process of creating, sending, confirming, and booking agreements in a way that finally empowers leaders to scale pledges and multi-year giving strategies to donors at all giving levels.
• More multi-year pledges means improving donor retention and creating donors for life that fill the planned giving and major gift pipelines.
• Donors win when giving to a cause they care about feels rewarding – not like filing a tax return.

Milestones like this wouldn’t be possible without developing trust and partnership with early customers. Emily Groccia, Carmen Vega, and the entire Givzey team have done such an amazing job that we’re now seeing our partners transition all of their existing pledges onto Givzey to close the gap between booked and projected revenue.

Thank you to those customers who have allowed us to build trust as we’ve honed our innovative focus to lead the ‘Future of Fundraising.’

Here’s what’s on my radar this week:

Popularity of ‘Gift Agreement Management’ Soars as Givzey Crosses $10 Million in Gift Agreements Under Management

These are exciting times at Givzey. Just a couple of months ago we let you know that we crossed the $3 Million threshold in gifts under management on our Gift Agreement Management platform. Now, just a few weeks later, we're here to tell you that we've now surpassed $10 Million in gift agreements under management on Givzey.

Givzey's recent trajectory is fueled by our nonprofit customers integrating their CRMs, such as Blackbaud, and using Givzey's bulk migration feature to bring all existing pledges to Givzey, where pledge reminders and gifts are managed in a single solution. We've worked hard to earn our customers' trust and are excited to share this milestone with them. (KEEP READING )
