You can now let your donors commit to a gift even if they’re not ready to pay immediately — without losing their intent. We’re excited to roll out Pledges on Checkout Pages, designed to help you capture more committed revenue, reduce manual follow-ups, and improve your forecasting and stewardship planning.
🆕
What’s New?
  • Pledges on Checkout Page:
    Enable “Pledge for later” where donors can commit a gift for the future (BBMS only, CSC must be set to "None").
  • Flexible Pledge Schedules:
    Donors select the total amount, start date(starting at least 10 days from today), schedule (one-time or monthly) and number of installments. The system auto-generates an installment plan.
  • Secure Card Tokenization:
    Donors must add a card while pledging, but no charges are made by Almabase. BBMS + RENXT handle all charges moving forward.
  • Gift Dashboard Enhancements:
    New “Pledges” view and status updates synced daily from RENXT. You’ll now see pledged vs. received totals, overdue payments, and synced status — all in one place.
🔍
What to Expect
  • All pledge activity (donor and admin) is managed within Checkout Pages.
  • You’ll find a new “Pledges” tab under each Checkout Page showing full details, including status, balance, and installment schedule.
  • Statuses (Paid, Failed, Overdue) are mirrored from RENXT every day. No more guessing whether a pledge was fulfilled!
  • Pledge payments won’t execute until synced to RENXT . If the first installment date passes and the pledge is not synced, the pledge is auto-cancelled.
✅
Why It Matters
  • Don’t lose momentum when a donor isn’t ready to give immediately - turn “not now” into a committed future gift.
  • Automate charge collection via RENXT and BBMS, while Almabase keeps your team up-to-date with real-time pledge tracking.
  • Improve forecasting & stewardship by clearly separating committed gifts from received ones.
  • Cut down on manual follow-ups and errors by giving donors a clear path to complete their pledge securely and on time.
You’ll find the new “Pledge for later” option when creating a new Checkout Page. Just make sure your BBMS instance has CSC set to None - we’ll prompt you if that needs updating.
💡 Pledge today, fulfill tomorrow — while keeping your data, donors, and dollars on track.

We’ve supercharged Giving Pages with new flexibility for how you design donation experiences — and even light e-commerce campaigns.
🧩 What’s New
1️⃣
Configurable Quick-Select Amounts
Choose between 1 to 6 preset donation options — fine-tune your giving experience to match your campaign goals.
2️⃣
Separate Options for One-Time vs Recurring Gifts
Define different presets for each type — e.g $50 / $100 / $250 for one-time gifts,$10 / $25 / $50 for recurring ones
3️⃣
Named Donation Amounts
Each quick-select amount can now carry a label —“Sponsor a Meal”, “Plant a Tree”, or “Fund a Scholarship”
Let every contribution tell a story.
4️⃣
Restrict Custom Entry (Optional)
Turn off custom amounts to ensure donors pick from your curated options — ideal for sponsorships, ticketing, or merchandise sales.
💡 What Workflows This Enables
Story-Driven Campaigns: Frame donation amounts around impact
e.g. “$25 = 1 Student Meal”, “$100 = Alumni Scholarship”
Fixed-Tier Sponsorships: Perfect for structured tiers like
“Bronze / Silver / Gold” or “Sponsor 1 Bench”
Light E-Commerce & Merch Sales:
Sell T-shirts, memorabilia, or event kits directly through Giving Pages by
naming fixed amounts (“T-shirt – $30”) and disabling custom entries.
🚀 Why It Matters
These updates make Giving Pages campaign-ready, versatile, and powerful — whether you’re collecting donations, selling event swag, or creating storytelling-based impact tiers.
We’re introducing powerful enhancements to the Gift Connector, making it easier than ever to sync gift and donor data across giving pages and update constituent profiles seamlessly.
Screenshot 2025-09-19 at 3
What’s New?
  • Global Gift Connector Configuration
    – Set up sync rules once and apply them across all current and future giving pages, reducing repetitive setup. You can still customize sync rules at the page level if needed.
  • Centralized Data Review
    – A new Review Changes screen lets admins manage donor profile updates sourced from gifts in one place, eliminating the need to visit each page individually.
  • Smart Data Nudges
    – Receive nudges for pending updates (new emails, phone numbers, addresses, etc.) and gifts that need donor matching, ensuring no critical data is missed.
  • Bulk Approvals & Filtering
    – Easily approve, discard, or filter changes across multiple giving pages to speed up the review process.
  • Real-Time Sync
    – Once approved, updates are instantly pushed to constituent profiles (and mapped gifts), keeping data accurate and up to date.
How It Helps You
  • Save Time:
    No more manual updates for each giving page—manage everything in one place.
  • Increase Accuracy:
    Ensure donor profiles and gift records are current and consistent.
  • Improve Workflow:
    Global configurations and bulk actions make data management seamless.

No more guessing which links were sent, used, or failed. You’ll now see every payment link in one centralized dashboard, with real-time status updates and full historical records.
Here’s what you can expect:
  • A dedicated Payment Links tab with a sortable, filterable table view
  • Status tracking with clear indicators: 🟢 Paid, 🟡 Pending, 🔴 Failed
  • Bulk link generation for entire constituent segments or groups
  • Pre-fill fields like Fund, Giving Page, etc at the time of creation
  • Distributing payment links in bulk across constituent segments or groups
  • Easy options to copy, delete, or send links via email right from the platform
Why this matters:
This update removes the manual hassle of generating and distributing payment links one by one, managing gift attribution and follow-ups, helps you act quickly on pending or failed payments, and makes it easier to launch targeted fundraising efforts at scale.

Admin Experience

Giving Listing Page just got a glow-up ✨

We’ve refreshed the Giving Listing Page to make it easier for platform admins to find, organize, and manage giving pages - faster than ever.
Advanced Filtering
: Quickly filter your giving pages by status - Live, Upcoming, Draft, Completed, or Archived - so you can focus on what matters right now.
Tags for Pages
: You can now add tags to giving pages to keep things organized. No more digging around to find the right campaign!
Smarter Sorting
: Sort your list by Recently Created, Recently Updated, or Alphabetical Order to easily stay on top of your updates.
Archiving (with bulk actions!)
: Clean up your workspace by archiving old or irrelevant giving pages. And yes - you can archive and unarchive in bulk
What this means for you:
  • Better visibility into active and past campaigns
  • A more organized and cleaner Giving dashboard
  • Time saved managing and locating the right pages
Screenshot 2025-09-10 at 9
You now have full control over how funds are displayed within a campaign hub!
Choose from three sorting options to organize your funds:
A → Z by Name – alphabetical order for quick scanning
Z → A by Name – reverse alphabetical order
Custom – drag & drop to highlight priority funds
Why this matters
  • Spotlight the funds that matter most
  • Make it easier for donors to find what they’re looking for
  • Align the display with your campaign goals
Head to your campaign hub, pick the sorting option that works best, and give your donors a more seamless giving experience. 🎉
When Almabase pushes gifts to
Raiser's Edge
, we now capture payment methods more accurately than ever—especially for
PayPal
and
Venmo
through BBMS.
What’s New
  • Accurate PayPal & Venmo tagging
    – no more grouping them under “Credit Card.”
  • Smarter event handling
    – correct method selected even with multiple event payments.
  • Consistent across events & giving
    – every gift synced to RE will show the right payment method.
💡 How It Works
Events
  • 1 transaction → that method is used.
  • Multiple transactions → most common method wins; ties go to the first payment.
Giving
Always uses the single payment method.
BBMS transactions
We now check the
pay_pal_funding_source
field to correctly identify PayPal or Venmo.
Why It Matters
  • Accurate reporting in RE for finance and reconciliation
  • Clear insight into donor payment preferences
  • Fully automated—no changes required from your side
You can now eliminate the blindness around your campaign's geographic reach. When enabled, heat maps display donation activity across US states and world countries with color-coded intensity, giving you instant insights into successful regions versus underperforming areas.
What's new?
You can now access heat map controls by going to
Campaign Settings → Heat Maps
on your
Competitive Fundraising Pages.
influencer (8)
Toggle between USA state-level and world country-level visualizations, set custom section titles, and configure which maps appear on your campaign page. Interactive tooltips show donation counts when visitors hover over regions.
What can you expect?
Your campaign management experience stays the same — this purely adds visualization capabilities to your public campaign pages. The magic happens on the donor-facing side where visitors can now see aggregated donation patterns and discover your campaign's geographic momentum through beautiful, interactive maps.
This means when donors visit your campaign page, they'll see which states or countries are leading in support, creating social proof and encouraging participation from underrepresented regions. The system automatically generates color intensity based on donation volume while maintaining complete donor privacy.
Why this helps you
For teams running competitive fundraising campaigns, geographic insights are crucial for targeting future outreach efforts! No more wondering which regions need attention or missing opportunities to leverage successful areas. Your donation strategy becomes data-driven while creating engaging social proof for potential donors. Perfect for campaigns seeking to understand and expand their geographic reach!
Check it out in Campaign Settings → Heat Maps and let us know how geographic visualization transforms your fundraising insights!
