Commonly Asked Questions
What is social networking, Web 2.0 and viral fundraising?
These terms relate to using web-based technology that allows people to communicate and interact online. The power of this technology comes from how simple it has become to connect with many more people, in ways that are only possible via the Internet. Click here for definitions of these and other terms.
How can I control the messaging and ensure that nothing reflects poorly on our organization?
DonorPages provides unique features to allow you to oversee the donor page content, including the option to approve each page and changes to the pages before they are activated.  In addition, you can develop or modify the donor page text templates and email messages to incorporate your desired messaging.
What other fundraising campaigns besides A-THONS can DonorPages be used for?
DonorPages can be used in conjunction with sponsored events like Walk, Bike, Run, and Dance-A-Thons, but it can also be used for capital campaigns, workplace giving or supporter-driven fundraising. Board members, volunteers, and committed supporters are typically happy to have an easy and efficient way to share their passion for your mission. Some potential uses:
  • “In Honor of”, tributes, or memorials
  • Donations in lieu of gifts for a party
  • Virtual events (tied to a specific goal, holiday or recognition)
  • Promote a dinner, banquet or other event, (including a link to a registration form)
What’s the difference between WebLink and DonorPages?
WebLink is our system for collecting online donations, pledges, event registrations, etc., and powers the “Donate Now” functionality in DonorPages. DonorPages provides the system for creating and managing individual supporter pages that can help drive others to make a donation.
Can I convert DonorPage donors into repeat donors?
Unlike traditional sponsored event fundraising where your left with little or no information about those who donate, DonorPages automatically collects and records email addresses and other donor data in DonorPerfect, making it easy to send follow-up communications or solicitations. It's important to recognize that most donations will be made primarily because of personal affinity for your supporter, not your organization. Successful donor conversion efforts will involve first thanking the donor and focusing initial communication on building awareness of your mission. As with all communication efforts, but particularly those by email, it's important to provide compelling content and not inundate the prospective donor.  Always provide the recipient the option to indicate that they no longer wish to receive emails. In this way, when you do send a follow-up solicitation you maximize your chances of receiving an additional gift.
