Donation Modal
We’ve introduced a new way to capture donations more seamlessly with the Donation Modal.
This feature allows donation forms to open in a modal overlay rather than redirecting supporters to a separate page. It helps reduce friction in the giving experience by keeping supporters in context—whether they’re donating from a campaign page, landing page, or external site.
The Donation Modal is designed to support higher conversion rates by making the donation process feel faster, simpler, and more integrated into your existing pages.

Messages: Opt-Out And Bounce Reporting Updates
We’ve added two new reports within Messages Insights to give you better visibility into supporter communication preferences and message delivery.
The Opt-Out Report provides a clear view of which supporters have unsubscribed from Engagement messages across your platform. This helps you understand current communication preferences and ensure your messaging respects supporter intent.
The Bounce Report gives insight into messages that could not be delivered, including whether the issue is temporary or permanent, along with detailed delivery responses. This makes it easier to identify and resolve delivery issues.
Both reports are available to download directly from Messages Insights.

Multi-charity member record permission
This update lets multiple charities access the main member record and shared entrants, with options for read-only or full edit access. It makes collaboration much smoother when more than one charity is involved in a program or event—everyone can see the same supporter information without duplicating records or asking each other for updates.
You can control access levels, so partners stay informed while protecting data accuracy and ownership.

Double the donation on DIY
Our Double the Donation integration, previously only available for online events, now supports DIY events too. This means more donations can benefit from matched giving.
Note: This feature is available for North American charities only.

Regular-giving upsell
You can now add a regular giving upsell to the donation journey.
When a donor selects a once-off gift (or when frequency options are hidden), an optional prompt appears inviting them to switch to a recurring donation before entering their details. The step presents the choice at a natural point in the flow and does not interrupt the giving process.
January, 2026
Sender Name and Reply-To fields are now editable in Messages
In Messages, charities can now set the “Reply-To” and “Sender Name” for both transactional and triggered emails.
This helps ensure supporter replies go to the right inbox, like a specific support address for a federated charity, instead of a shared one. It also enables different campaigns to use the most relevant sender name or relationship holder.

Smarter SEO foundations for cleaner search visibility
Core SEO improvements have been rolled out across key fundraising pages to improve how they appear and perform in search results. Page titles and descriptions are now more unique across DIY Events, registration, and fundraiser search pages, helping search engines better understand page intent. Canonical tags have also been added to pages accessible via multiple URLs, reducing duplicate listings and improving overall indexing accuracy and SEO performance.
BOOST MOBILE DONATIONS
December, 2025
Four-weekly regular giving option
A new four-weekly regular giving option is now available across the platform.
This schedule allows supporters to give every four weeks instead of monthly. Because four-weekly payments occur 13 times in a calendar year (rather than 12 monthly gifts), organisations may see an increase in annual value from regular givers without introducing additional campaigns or extra donation asks.
Regular giving remains a key source of predictable, sustainable income. The four-weekly schedule provides an additional payment frequency that feels familiar to supporters while increasing total yearly contributions.
You can switch this on from any page that contains a donation block:
-
Open the page and enter Visual Builder
-
Hover over the donation block and select the heart icon (settings)
-
In Donation amounts, enable four-weekly
The feature is available platform-wide and can be activated immediately.
December, 2025
Flexible control over registration and donation receipts
Admins now have the flexibility to disable registration receipts while continuing to send donation receipts made during event signup. This gives organizations more control over supporter communications, particularly in regions with specific receipt preferences, while ensuring donors always receive the documentation they need.

Optimized peer-to-peer mobile donation flow
You can now unlock an optimised mobile donation flow for peer-to-peer campaigns, informed by testing that delivered up to a 7% uplift in mobile conversions. With 66% of peer-to-peer donations happening on mobile, the update creates a clearer, more focused experience on small screens by separating the “leave a message” moment into its own lightweight step—helping supporters stay in flow while preserving the personal message fundraisers value.
This update is available platform-wide and ready to switch on today. If you’ve got a peer-to-peer campaign live, enable it with a single setting: edit your Event → open Donation defaults → under Form options, tick Separate message step (mobile).
December, 2025
Venmo now available as a donation option
(US only)
US donors can now choose Venmo—a familiar, trusted way to give—anywhere PayPal is enabled. This MVP release supports one-off donations across Donation Blocks, Fundraising pages, and Registration flows, offering US organisations a valuable new lever for conversion and donor choice.
November, 2026
Donation eCards for personalized giving
You can now add donation eCards to any Visual Builder donation block.
Supporters can select a card design, write a personal message, and send it instantly to a recipient when they make a donation. This allows gifts to be shared for occasions such as in-memory giving, celebrations, or honoring someone special.
eCards can be used across appeals and year-round donation pages, adding a more personal giving experience without changing the donation flow.
Enable eCards within your donation block settings to allow donors to dedicate their gift and send a message to a chosen recipient.
