đ§ Platform Admins: Create MultiâImpact Giving Pages with Subpages
Weâre introducing
Tiered Giving within Competitive Giving Pages
, designed to support both simple campaigns and large Giving Days without adding unnecessary complexity for institutions to present impact-based giving options â such as departments, causes, or priority areas within a single Giving Page
all while keeping setup simple and checkout seamless for donors.
⨠Whatâs New?
đ§ą Tiered Giving (Subpages)
Break down a single Giving Page into structured
subpages
â think âmini giving pagesâ within one page. Each subpage can represent a department, priority area, or impact theme and can include:- Linked campaigns
- Subpage-level goals
- Leaderboards and impact stats
- Custom sections and visuals
đĄ
Perfect for large Giving Days with many giving options.
đ Internal Pages, Not Separate Pages
No more workarounds, external links, or duplicate Giving Pages. These new subpages live
within
a single Giving Page and inherit all your existing setup â gateway, receipts, and attribution logic included.đ One Cart, One Checkout
Donors can explore different tiers, choose causes they care about, and
complete one transaction
â with full attribution to each campaign and subpage. Clean for you, smooth for them.đĄ Why It Matters
- Keeps simple campaigns simple, while supporting more complex use cases
- Donors experience a guided journey by impact, not by navigation quirks
- No need for multiple standalone pages or patchwork campaign hubs
- Ensures accurate attributionacross campaigns and departments
- Scales naturally with features like leaderboards and challenges
đ Whether you're running a simple annual appeal or a complex, multi-department Giving Day, Tiered Giving gives you the flexibility to scale without the hassle.
Weâve introduced "
Add to Cart
" across Campaigns, a major upgrade to the Giving Day donor experience that allows donors to support multiple campaigns through a single, seamless checkout. This removes the need for separate transactions per campaign and significantly reduces friction during high-volume Giving Days.â¨Whatâs New?
đ Add to Cart Across Campaigns
Your donors can now support multiple campaigns in one seamless checkout â no need to complete separate transactions for each gift.
They can:
- Add gifts from different campaigns to a single cart.
- Checkout once, no matter how many campaigns they support.
- Navigate freely across the Giving Day experience while their cart stays intact.
No more clicking back and forth or starting over â just a smooth, modern giving flow.
đ§ Smarter âGiveâ Buttons, Everywhere
Every campaign card now features a consistent and intelligent âGive / Add to Cartâ action, tailored to the campaign setup:
- If a campaign has a single fund, donors can enter the amount right there.
- If it has multiple funds, a selection modal appears.
- If donors add to the same fund from different campaigns, amounts are cumulative and editable, with clear visual cues.
This means fewer clicks, less confusion, and more confidence for your donors.

đ What to Expect
Donors can support more causes, faster, without hitting checkout roadblocks
- Donors can check out once, even as they explore multiple campaigns, with gifts to different causes consolidated through Add to Cart.
- âMake a Giftâ transforms into âView Cartâ as gifts are added.
- Gifts to the same fund are intelligently combined with transparent, editable amounts
â
Why It Matters
- Boost participation and total giving by reducing friction.
- Increase average campaigns per donor with a cart-first experience.
- Improve discoverability â no more guessing where funds live.
Set your Giving Day up for success, especially with multiple campaigns in play.
đ These updates are live, intuitive, and ready to go â no setup required on your end. If you're planning a big Giving Day, these improvements are built to help you shine.

đ§ž Summary Field (New)
- Add a short, punchy message (max 250 characters) to show on campaign cards.

đ Start using summaries to make your campaign cards stand out â and use the enhanced editor to tell a richer story.
Weâve rolled out an upgrade to how gift payment data syncs from Almabase to Raiserâs Edge NXT for customers using BBMS as the payment gateway. This update doesnât change anything about how gifts are created or processed in Almabase â it just improves what shows up inside Raiserâs Edge to support better finance workflows.
Whatâs new:
⢠Richer payment details sync automatically â including cardholder name, card type, card expiry, and authorization codes in Raiserâs Edge.
⢠These details help make reconciliation and audits easier, provide clearer audit trails, and surface important card info right where your finance team needs it.
Whatâs not changing:
⢠The donor experience stays the same.
⢠Gift creation, amounts, constituent mapping, and sync process remain unchanged.
⢠No configuration or action is required â the improvement is live automatically.

đ Platform Admins: Introducing âPledge for laterâ â Let Donors Commit Now, Pay Later!
You can now let your donors commit to a gift even if theyâre not ready to pay immediately â without losing their intent. Weâre excited to roll out Pledges on Checkout Pages, designed to help you capture more committed revenue, reduce manual follow-ups, and improve your forecasting and stewardship planning.
đ
Whatâs New?
- Pledges on Checkout Page:Enable âPledge for laterâ where donors can commit a gift for the future (BBMS only, CSC must be set to "None").
- Flexible Pledge Schedules:Donors select the total amount, start date(starting at least 10 days from today), schedule (one-time or monthly) and number of installments. The system auto-generates an installment plan.
- Secure Card Tokenization:Donors must add a card while pledging, but no charges are made by Almabase. BBMS + RENXT handle all charges moving forward.
- Gift Dashboard Enhancements:New âPledgesâ view and status updates synced daily from RENXT. Youâll now see pledged vs. received totals, overdue payments, and synced status â all in one place.
đ
What to Expect
- All pledge activity (donor and admin) is managed within Checkout Pages.
- Youâll find a new âPledgesâ tab under each Checkout Page showing full details, including status, balance, and installment schedule.
- Statuses (Paid, Failed, Overdue) are mirrored from RENXT every day. No more guessing whether a pledge was fulfilled!
- Pledge payments wonât execute until synced to RENXT . If the first installment date passes and the pledge is not synced, the pledge is auto-cancelled.
â
Why It Matters
- Donât lose momentum when a donor isnât ready to give immediately - turn ânot nowâ into a committed future gift.
- Automate charge collection via RENXT and BBMS, while Almabase keeps your team up-to-date with real-time pledge tracking.
- Improve forecasting & stewardship by clearly separating committed gifts from received ones.
- Cut down on manual follow-ups and errors by giving donors a clear path to complete their pledge securely and on time.
Youâll find the new âPledge for laterâ option when creating a new Checkout Page. Just make sure your BBMS instance has CSC set to None - weâll prompt you if that needs updating.
đĄ Pledge today, fulfill tomorrow â while keeping your data, donors, and dollars on track.
