We’re excited to announce a new feature designed to give organizations better control over profile visibility, ensuring smoother management and alignment with user preferences.

This feature introduces two key functionalities:

Admins can now decide whether profiles are visible by default or not. Once toggled on, all new profiles will be visible by default unless individually edited otherwise.

Admins can also edit whether users can control their own visibility. If enabled, users then can change their profile visibility while getting onboarded to the platform, as well as while editing their profiles.

Whether admins creating profiles individually or in bulk, this feature ensures visibility settings align with their organization’s needs without additional manual effort.

This update ensures flexibility, efficiency, and a more user-centric approach to profile visibility management.

Within site settings, under custom features, admins will now see two new toggles as seen below:

We’re excited to announce a new feature in the Event module that allows you to allocate a separate fund for the tax-deductible portion of an event ticket. This enhancement ensures better financial tracking and compliance for organizations managing events with partially tax-deductible tickets.

For detailed steps on how to set up this feature, refer to our Knowledge Base article.

We hope this update makes managing your events even more seamless!

If a fund has been legally closed or is no longer in use, you can unpublish it on Almabase. Unpublishing ensures that the fund is hidden from donors and cannot be added to new giving campaigns or events.

To unpublish a fund

The unpublished fund will be immediately removed from all active giving campaigns, preventing donors from making gifts to it.

When creating new campaigns, unpublished funds will no longer appear as options.

Unpublishing does not remove the fund from existing events to avoid disrupting syncing payments with Raiser's Edge.

For any new events or tickets you create, unpublished funds will not appear as selectable options.

We at Almabase are always working to make our user interfaces consistent so our admins can spend less time in understanding how to operate the system and more time actually utilizing our system.

With this in mind, we have revamped our sent emails tab. This revamp attempts to ensure our admins can get access to important information in a more meaningful way via a quick glance.

We hope this update is as helpful for you as we wanted it to be. Happy communicating!

We’ve introduced a new setting to give admins more control over the automated emails sent to donors participating in Competitive Giving campaigns.

You can now block system-generated influencer emails from going out automatically to all donors, allowing you to maintain the flexibility and control over your campaign’s communications. By enabling the new “Block Influencer Emails” setting, admins can ensure that emails align with the specific workflows and vision for your gamified fundraising efforts.

Navigate to Site Settings > Fundraising to locate the new toggle.

Previously, all donors, whether or not their donation was successful, would automatically receive an influencer email after completing their personal information. This sometimes led to confusion and didn’t always match how influencer workflows are structured. With this new toggle, you have the option to prevent these emails from being sent, giving you more control over the donor experience.

In our constant effort to make your website truly , we have now enabled the capability to create and sync your Almabase pages through WordPress and Elementor.

We’re rolling out an important update on how subevents are configured on Almabase, designed to enhance guest management and provide a clearer separation between guest lists for main events and their subevents. This change will streamline the process for both admins and attendees.

Going forward, every newly created sub-event on Almabase must be associated to a ticket. This will now be a mandatory step for admins.

Currently, when a sub-event is created without an associated ticket, guests from the main event are automatically considered to be attending the sub-event. The system assumes that if the sub-event is free and doesn’t require an explicit ticket, it should be added to the guests’ itinerary by default. This often creates confusion and makes it harder to manage guest lists for events and sub-events separately.

Admins will now be required to associate a ticket with every sub-event, including free ones. Attendees must explicitly book tickets, even for free sub-events, ensuring only interested guests are added to the sub-event guest list.

We've introduced a new feature that allows you to duplicate the configuration of an existing Giving Page within the platform, making it easy to create a new page without starting from scratch. This is especially useful when you need to recreate a similar type of Giving Page quickly and efficiently.

With the Donor Pipeline Report, your team gets a simple breakdown of your community in 4 distinct categories.

These members have not been active lately either because of outdated emails or because they have opted out of communications. These members will be difficult to reach via digital means and could benefit from a personalized reach-out.

These members are tuned in and responsive to your programming. They open emails and submit forms but have not taken any big steps yet. They make a great audience for your Alumni or constituent relations team to engage in groups through targetted programming.

These members exhibit a level of opt-in that could be indicative of a donation. This segment includes members who have donated in the past 3 years, and possibly first-time donors who are now attending your events and signing up to be mentors.

Focussing on these segments helps your team find new supporters to grow your donor pool, and plan initiatives that protect your donor pool from shrinking.

These members are donors in your current financial year. You can customise your financial year to get an accurate count of how many constituents have made a gift this year and what the participation % for this year looks like.

You can get a click-through to view users in each of these segments to analyze and take action further.

The report takes into account hundreds of thousands of engagement activities across all your users and programs to generate a simple representation of your Donor Pipeline today. It is accessible on your home page to all admins and is updated daily.

We hope the Donor Pipeline report simplifies engagement reporting and make insights accessible to more of your team.
