Fundraise Up

I know that affiliating with other people’s brands is essential to serving my community. But it’s not always comfortable. I feel protective of my brand. She’s important to me. I built her myself. She’s flawed af. She’s mine. As we head into our third year in business at Empowered Fundraiser we know our zones of genius and we have a vision for serving beyond our finite abilities. We want to bring amazing people and products to our community - far beyond what we can do alone. I’ve had a lot of coffee meetings - hundreds - in the process of figuring out who we should partner with for what. Have done so many little mini-projects with people to see if our styles blended together. Lots of convos with tech bros along the way. Your girl has kissed some frogs (you’re welcome). I’m excited to share our collaboration with Fundraise Up and Salvatore Salpietro and his team. I’m thrilled to introduce their SAAS to our fundraising clients. I cannot wait to see the results of a much better donor journey powered by AI for the nonprofit and higher ed orgs we serve. So good. AND we’re super delighted to partner with Sal on #SheLeadsAI. Thank you, Sal, for your support….and for helping create a better culture for your daughter and other future leaders like her!! Let’s go! #sheleadsai #annemurphyphilanthropy #responsibleai #nonprofit

I’m a father to an 8 year old daughter and I love to support anything that helps women (and future women) have a louder voice in the technology space. ♥️ The Resource Alliance International Fundraising Congress, or #IFC2024, is the gift that keeps on giving. One gift: I meet Josh Hirsch, MS and have convinced him to join us at Fundraise Up to build more for the community. More soon! Another gift: while I was participating in an AI-focused panel with Nathan Chappell, MBA, MNA, CFRE, Ha Cole, Greg Sobiech and Lori Freeman, there was a woman in the back that was asking really great questions. Questions that pushed thinking. I met her afterward that evening. She is the incredible Anne Murphy of Empowered Fundraiser! Learning more about what she does, I discovered the SHE LEADS AI forum and initiative she’s created along with Jasmine Schwarz and Rachel Kimber, MPA, MS. Fundraise Up is proud to sponsor the #SheLeadsAI Forum "Leading Change at Critical Moments" on December 12, 2024. Two hours. Look at the speakers!! Do it for yourself. For our daughters. ➡️ Register here: https://lnkd.in/e7z_XP3s It’s $12. This indicates that you’ll show up and learn. 🏆 BUT - drop a comment about what you’re looking to learn or HAVE learned regarding AI in your nonprofit work and I have a couple free tickets to give away.

AI done differently. 💡 Our AI is lightyears ahead because it's been honed for years on real donor data. The results? Conversion rate (click-to-donate): - Fundraise Up: 29% (with most customers seeing between 20-40%) - Industry average: 12% Average one-time donation: - Fundraise Up: $161 - Industry average: $115 Average monthly recurring donation: - Fundraise Up: $32 - Industry average: $24 Here's how we make it happen for 3,000+ nonprofits: https://hubs.ly/Q02XzGMB0.

NEW: As cryptocurrencies surge in the U.S., will Canadian crypto-philanthropy see an uptick as well? In Vancouver, Last Door Recovery Centre is a treatment and rehabilitation space for those struggling with substance use. Since 2014, they have been accepting Bitcoin donations, and estimate that they've processed around $1 million in crypto-donations since. Donation activity is, however, highly dependent on the state of cryptocurrencies overall: "we've observed that Bitcoin donations tend to correlate with overall cryptocurrency market trends," said the organisation's director of fund development and projects. "During periods of high crypto prices and media attention, we typically see an uptick in donations." Last Door is a unique case in an ever-changing crypto-giving space: most charities will likely go through donation management platforms and intermediaries, whose own systems are dependent on crypto-exchange platforms and regulatory changes. And then there is also a wildly different attitude towards cryptocurrencies between the U.S. and Canada: several large charities and non-profits in the U.S. have crypto donations enabled, while in Canada, there is understandably a bit more hesitation. Nonetheless, we know this is something that will continue to fluctuate and develop. Huge thank you to CanadaHelps, The Giving Block, Fundraise Up, Impact Public Affairs Corp. (Canada), Jason Shim, World Vision Canada, Last Door Recovery Centre and North York Harvest Food Bank -- and the Canadian Revenue Agency -- for a snapshot on where we're at now. https://lnkd.in/eyv-9SGC #cryptocurrencies #philanthropy #tech4good

🎙 I just wrapped up recording an upcoming episode of The AI Dude podcast sponsored by Bloomerang, with Salvatore Salpietro, Chief Community Officer for Fundraise Up. We spoke a lot about the world of frictionless fundraising and explored how cutting-edge technology, like AI, is transforming donor experiences. 💬 I love this quote from Sal, “If your donation page looks like a DMV renewal form, you're losing donors! It’s about creating a seamless, intuitive experience that feels as easy as ordering a pizza on GrubHub.”

Q: How do we measure the success of our livestreaming fundraising efforts? A: Measure the success of livestreaming fundraising by tracking viewer engagement, donation amounts, and conversion rates through tools like Fundraise Up 🎉, which offers detailed analytics on donor behavior and engagement.
