Maximizing Your Impact with FundraiseUp: A Smarter Way to Fundraise

As donor expectations evolve, many nonprofits find themselves stuck with outdated systems that limit their ability to connect with supporters, grow donations, and retain donors. This gap not only leads to missed opportunities but also creates administrative burdens that pull time and focus away from your mission.

The good news? Smarter technology can simplify the donation process and provide deeper insights into donor behavior—allowing your organization to maximize its impact.

Below, we’ll explore common challenges nonprofits face and show how FundraiseUp, in partnership with Nonprofit Tech Shop, can help you turn those challenges into opportunities for greater mission success.

1. Low Conversion Rates on Donation Pages

Nonprofits often struggle with outdated, clunky donation pages, especially when it comes to mobile donors. Slow, unresponsive pages lead to high drop-off rates, causing many potential donors to abandon their gifts.

The Stats:

• The average donation page abandonment rate is 68%, meaning more than two-thirds of potential donors leave before completing their donation.

• 28% of all online donations now come from mobile devices, up from just 9% in 2018.

How FundraiseUp Helps:
FundraiseUp offers seamless, mobile-optimized donation experiences designed to eliminate friction. Features like single-click payments and suggested donation amounts make it easier for supporters to complete their donations—helping your nonprofit build lasting connections with more donors.

2. Time-Consuming Manual Data Entry

Is your team spending too much time manually entering donations or trying to pull reports from disconnected systems? These processes waste valuable time and leave room for errors, which ultimately prevents your team from focusing on your mission.

How FundraiseUp Helps:
FundraiseUp integrates seamlessly with CRMs, email marketing tools, and payment processors, automating data entry and reporting. This means your team can focus less on manual tasks and more on making a difference. Plus, real-time AI-driven analytics give you deeper insights into donor behavior, allowing you to adjust strategies and maximize your results.

3. Lack of Personalization Hurting Donor Retention

Donors today expect personalized, meaningful interactions with the causes they support. But juggling multiple campaigns and communications can make it hard to offer tailored experiences, leading to declining donor retention rates.

The Stats:

• Donor retention rates dropped to 42% in 2023, meaning nearly 6 out of 10 first-time donors don’t return the following year.

4. Uncertainty Around Campaign Performance

You’ve launched a fundraising campaign—but how do you know what’s working? Without clear data and insights, you’re left guessing at what changes could improve your results.
