We got to learn how these organisations used digital infrastructure to support the vital work they do every day and they shared tangible tactics that you can implement with your organisation.

We’ve launched express payment options! This will allow donors to contribute using Apple Pay, Google Pay, or a credit card they've saved to their browser. This will minimize the time it takes for donors to contribute, make it easier for people to donate from their mobile devices, and provide an added sense of security by allowing donors to avoid manual credit card input. We're hoping this will increase donation conversion rates and give your organization the means to better promote your cause ahead of giving season.

In this webinar, we cover:

• Setting up express payment options on your site & pages
• How to implement theme changes to your custom donation pages
• Plus lots of Q&A time!

On average, people receive more than 100 emails a day and only open 18% of them. Conversely, the open rate for text messages hovers around 99%––what’s more, most people open a text message within 15 minutes of receiving it!

The bottom line: texting should definitely be part of your supporter outreach.
