The current limitations create challenges for institutions that use processors outside of BBMS and Stripe.

Additionally, we would strongly encourage consideration of pledge functionality as well. Many higher education institutions rely on pledges as part of campaign giving, leadership annual giving, and donor stewardship practices. The ability to allow donors to establish pledge commitments with scheduled installments, tracking, and CRM synchronization would provide significant operational value.

From an Advancement Services perspective, recurring gifts and pledges are distinct business processes and both are critical to long-term fundraising success. Support for these areas would strengthen Almabase’s capabilities for advancement operations and campaign management. However, without these features it could limit their growth and ability to retain customers.
