Use the same scenario in every demo
A community campaign, from first gift to lasting support.
1. Launch the campaign
Create a campaign and giving form with a clear purpose, designations and one-time or recurring options. Connect gifts to the campaign and the donor from the start.
2. Welcome the donor
Carry a completed donation into the gift and relationship history. Keep the acknowledgement, designation and payment record together.
3. Care for recurring support
Review active commitments, upcoming payments and exceptions. Let donor services resolve an issue with the relationship history in view.
4. Show what support makes possible
Connect approved program updates to the campaign, prepare relevant stewardship and review results across gifts and relationships.
Include an exception: a recurring payment needs attention
Keep a failed payment visible without treating a missed transaction as a lost relationship. Review the payment history and assign donor services follow-up.
What to compare before you choose
- Giving experience on phone and desktop
- Recurring gifts and payment exceptions
- Campaign, donor and accounting continuity
- Full cost across subscription and payment volume
Plan the move, not just the demonstration
Start with one campaign and its giving forms. Map designations, acknowledgements, recurring commitments and accounting handoffs; reconcile a sample of gift history before launch.
Compare subscription, implementation, migration, payment and usage costs where relevant. Agree who owns the work after launch and what information you can export.
