  • Full-featured dashboard with live reporting
  • 30-day Sprint Package — we run it with you
01
Streamlined donation form

A donation in three taps, not three minutes.

We rebuilt the donation form from the ground up. Apple Pay and Google Pay are first-class. Card payments are auto-formatted. ACH is a one-click option for larger gifts. Recurring is a single toggle. And the whole thing fits on a phone screen without scrolling.

  • Mobile-first — the form was designed for the small screen before the desktop one.
  • Apple Pay & Google Pay — donors using a phone never have to type a card number.
  • Recurring without a separate form — same form, one toggle, instant.
  • Cover-the-fee — optional, opt-in, drives 30%+ uptake when surfaced well.
02
Redesigned program page

A page that actually sells the cause.

Every program page is now a real campaign page. Hero image, sticky donation form, image gallery, recent donations board, FAQ accordion, and a contact form direct to you — all on a layout designed to convert a curious visitor into a recurring donor.

🎯
Sticky donation form
The form follows the donor down the page. No “where do I give” moment.
🖼️
Hero + gallery
Show the people, the place, the work. Donors give to faces, not abstractions.
📈
Recent donations board
Live social proof. Every gift makes the next one easier.
❓
FAQ accordion
Answers the tax-deductibility, “where does my money go”, and recurring-cancel questions before they ask.
🔗
Custom donation link
Your own clean URL. Shareable in a text message without embarrassment.
✉️
Contact program manager form
Inquiries route straight to you, not a generic inbox.

03
Teams, fundraisers & matching

Turn your strongest supporters into your fundraising team.

Every program can now spin off teams and individual peer-to-peer fundraising pages from a single donation page. Any donor can become a matcher and 2x or 3x every gift during a defined window. The math is automatic. The recognition is built in.

Teams
A school. A neighborhood. A WhatsApp group. Give each one its own subpage with its own goal and leaderboard.
Peer fundraisers
Individual supporters get their own page, share it, and you get the credit and the donor data.
Donation matching
Set a match donor, a multiplier, a cap, and a window. Donors see the multiplier in real time on the form.
Match leaderboards
Show who’s matching, by name or anonymously. Public matchers drive 2-3x the participation.
04
Upgraded dashboard

Numbers you can act on, not just admire.

The dashboard tracks your lifetime, your month, your last 30 days, and your donor roster. You can issue disbursals, invite recipients, manage teams, and pull a tax-receipt report — without emailing us. Everything is real-time.

  • Live progress meters on every campaign and team page.
  • Donor roster with last gift, lifetime, and contact info.
  • Self-serve disbursals — request a payout in under a minute.
  • Recipient invites — bring a beneficiary into the system in two clicks.
  • Tax-receipt history — donors get an automated receipt, you get the audit trail.
05
Program Sprint Package · new

A 30-day campaign, run with you, end to end.

The biggest single change. You’re no longer alone with a page and a wish. The Sprint Package is a structured 30-day campaign: refreshed page, 5-email sequence, social assets, match-donor script, 1:1 warm-contact templates, mid-sprint coaching, and a results debrief. We build it. You run it. The results show up.

06
Crowded banking partnership

Real banking infrastructure under every program.

Every BrightLeaf program account is now backed by Crowded, a nonprofit-focused banking platform with FDIC-insured deposits, instant disbursals, and a full ledger view. You can see every dollar from the moment it lands. Disbursals clear in hours, not days.

  • FDIC-insured deposits on every program account.
  • Instant ACH disbursals when you’re ready to deploy funds.
  • Full ledger transparency — you see what we see.
  • Nonprofit-native compliance — built for fiscal sponsorship from day one.
