iDonate is Built for Today's Nonprofit Fundraising Market


iDonate 2.0 solves a growing problem in the nonprofit community where organizations struggle to accelerate their digital transformation and grow new sources of revenue. A key roadblock that many nonprofits face is an ability to attract and retain new donors such as millennials when they are stuck using systems that only support traditional fundraising techniques and static campaign-driven asks.

With digital fundraising expected to grow in the next five years at rates similar to ecommerce (from 10% to 25% of an overall $450 billion in giving), nonprofit leaders are actively seeking new platforms that open up digital donation channels to web-savvy, socially-connected donors who give at the point of inspiration. iDonate 2.0 is designed from the ground up to serve this need.
