DonorDrive Releases Product Enhancements Designed to Help Enterprise Nonprofits Increase Revenue
CINCINNATI, November 21, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DonorDrive, an EngageSmart (NYSE: ESMT) solution and creator of an advanced enterprise digital fundraising solution, announced major product enhancements including embedded donation forms and enhanced site design capabilities. These new features are designed to help enable enterprise nonprofits to optimize conversion rates and increase donations with a more consistent cross-channel experience.
DonorDrive’s new features come at a critical time: according to Giving USA’s Annual Charitable Giving Report, both interest rates and the cost of goods are rising, personal disposable income is decreasing, and the nonprofit industry is feeling the impact. The same report shows that giving from individuals—which accounted for 64% of the $499.33 billion of charitable donations made in 2022—was down 6.4% compared to 2021.
To help enterprise nonprofits drive revenue amid this shift in individual giving, DonorDrive has released platform enhancements that aim to remove friction from the donor experience. The platform's new embedded pop-up form feature allows users to complete donations via DonorDrive's solution without having to leave the benefiting organization's site, creating a clearer and more efficient user experience. Increased design capabilities allow nonprofit organizations to keep their branding more consistent for donor and fundraising experiences hosted on DonorDrive’s site, building trust with supporters and helping to reduce donation abandonment. Along with these major updates, DonorDrive also released the following product enhancements in 2023 focusing on improving individual giving programs:
New one-time and recurring donation payment types, including recurring PayPal and Apple Pay donations
New donor portal features that enable donors to upgrade their donations, update their donation schedule, and change payment methods
WCAG 2.1 accessibility improvements for all supporters, including screen reader accessibility enhancements for donation and registration forms
Mobile check deposit for fast check processing
Configurable transaction fields that allow for more detailed donation attribution and improved data standardization
Simplified transaction reconciliation tools for finance teams
New integrations for Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager for advanced conversion tracking
"As patterns in the individual giving space change, our focus remains on helping our clients increase revenue, reduce friction in the donation process, and improve administrative efficiency with easy-to-use configuration tools for nonprofit staff," said Kasey Cuppoletti, Senior Vice President, Product at DonorDrive. "Our product development process is driven by client feedback, and we have received overwhelmingly positive feedback on these new enhancements. Our clients and our team are confident that these tools will continue to boost supporter engagement and drive impact for nonprofit organizations’ fundraising programs."
