Donations
Promote opportunities to contribute to your cause on your
website. Make it easy for individuals to act immediately, while the impulse to
donate is fresh.
The Donations module allows you to accept contributions online,
with real-time credit card authorization and processing. It gathers the donation
specifics that are needed for follow-up, such as recognition of donors and
accurate notifications. Integration with your financial and fundraising software
ensures that donations are processed promptly, according to your business rules.
Features of the Donations module include:
-
Increase the visibility of all funds and campaigns sponsored by the
association by allowing members to select from a comprehensive directory of
giving opportunities, using eye-catching graphics and fund descriptions that
explain why each one is a good cause.
-
Users can open an online donations form for a particular fund from the
comprehensive directory, or from links set up anywhere in your site.
-
Set up the look and layout of the donations form differently for each fund,
according to the characteristics of the specific cause.
-
Offer donors a choice of giving types as part of the donation to one general
fund, allowing them to designate a particular purpose for their gift.
-
Suggested giving levels and list of donor clubs encourage donors to make the
highest gift they can afford.
-
The donor can specify how he wants the gift to be recognized, specifying a
full name, married couple, organization, or making the gift anonymously.
-
A free-form field allows donations to be made in memory of any loved one.
-
New donors can add their profile to the database from the same form, and the
system will let them know if it looks as if they already have a profile in the
database.
-
Collecting on pledges is easier when donors can view and process payments for
their pledges online.
-
A single credit card payment can process gifts to multiple funds, as well as
other types of e-commerce transactions from the same shopping cart.
-
An e-mail receipt, thanking each donor by name for their gift, is sent
automatically upon completion of the payment processing by Verisign.
Integration with your association management software allows you
to tie donations to member records and to fundraising giving categories. This
makes it possible to include online donations in your donors’ giving history,
and to track the overall success of each campaign, appeal, and distribution in
your fundraising system.
PAC Contributions
Your association may suggest that members make contributions to their PAC as
part of their conference registration, with a single payment covering both
transactions. PAC contributions are frequently made this way, as a companion
transaction embedded within a related e-commerce process. Certain events may
also accept donations as part of a meeting registration, by designating certain
meeting functions as relating to a particular campaign or appeal.
The PAC Contributions component of ISGweb Donations addresses the
need to accept these types of donations and process them correctly:
-
The solicitation for the fund or PAC is included as part of the event
registration. A page describing the fund suggests donation levels and provides
the option of skipping the contribution.
-
If the user elects to contribute and the fund is a PAC, a verification screen
asks for confirmation that the user is qualified to contribute, according to
election laws.
-
When the registration payment is processed, both the meeting registration and
the contribution are processed in your financial and fundraising software
according to their transaction type and your business rules.
