吃瓜黑料网鈥檚 Year in Review: 2021
If you鈥檝e been following along for some time now, you鈥檒l know that 2021 was a big year for us over at 吃瓜黑料网. We partnered with fantastic fundraising solutions to provide thousands of mission-driven organizations with our constantly improving tools, working alongside nonprofits as they make their impact on the world.
Over time, we are continuing to develop our company, refine our products, and expand our network of social good. Let鈥檚 walk through a recap of what the past year has brought to our team!
吃瓜黑料网 Updates & Enhancements
We鈥檝e made a lot of significant changes to the 吃瓜黑料网 platform in the last year in order to provide increased functionality and streamline matching gift processes. These are some of our most impactful advancements:
- Focusing on 吃瓜黑料网’s fully automated solution: We鈥檝e phased out 吃瓜黑料网鈥檚 Legacy Plan (formerly “Premium Plan”) in order to focus exclusively on our more effective, comprehensive automation solution. Now, all organizations can make the most of their matching gift potential using first-in-class 吃瓜黑料网 matching gift automation!
- Launching multi-channel outreach: Thanks to a Twilio integration, we鈥檝e rolled out multi-channel donor outreach鈦! This means fundraisers can communicate via automated SMS in addition to existing email functionality, reaching donors through multiple channels and providing opportunities for additional touchpoints.
- Publishing real-time matching gift analytics: Our real-time matching gift dashboard (available online here) provides viewers with continuously updating information on our database development. This includes total company records, number and percentage of match-eligible donor coverage, form availability, and more!
- Adding an end-of-year email stream: The end of the year can be one of the most crucial times for nonprofit fundraisers, and our new end-of-year email streams can help make the most of matching gifts. Our new customizable pre-written email templates allow you to retroactively follow up with match-eligible donors who had given previously in the year in order to boost year-end revenue.
