The ability to accept donations online is a must-have for any modern nonprofit - total revenue generated for nonprofits online grew by 3% in 2021, accounting for 12% of all charitable giving. However, for nonprofit fundraisers competing for donors’ attention in an increasingly competitive digital marketplace, making a real impression requires far more than the basic ability to process credit card payments through your website.
Providing the type of interactive and personalized experiences that today’s donors expect, from the moment of their first gift through the cultivation of a long-term relationship, requires modern online fundraising tools and a seamlessly integrated donor stewardship solution. This is why we’re proud to announce the launch of Online Fundraising in Instil through a partnership with Pledge, the world’s most trusted and innovative fundraising platform.
Through a native integration with Pledge, users of Instil can now access Pledge’s fundraising functionality and create modern, mobile-optimized donation forms and pages without ever leaving the Instil platform - all at no additional cost. Pledge enables nonprofits to engage donors in a whole new way by fundraising through custom landing pages, embeddable donation forms, Zoom virtual events, Text-to-Donate, crypto donations, and more.
When a donor contributes through a Pledge-hosted form or donation page, their contact and donation information is instantly stored in Instil, making it easy for development staff to keep track of new donation activity, view a contact’s donation history, and assign cultivation and stewardship workflows to continue building a relationship and increasing a donor’s engagement.
Fundraising Pages are fully customizable, with the ability to include photo and video media, organization branding, and more. Here are some of the exciting Pledge features you can now use directly in Instil:
