DONATION PROCESSING & DATA CAPTURE
Our donation processing solutions free you to shift your focus from back-end operations to supporting and delivering upon your mission by significantly lowering processing costs, leveraging our financial transaction security measures and keeping your constituents engaged.
Our comprehensive donation processing solutions allow you to provide your donors with the most convenient option. In addition to traditional donation methods like checks, we process donations via card and alternative payments such as PayPal, Amazon Pay and Apple Pay.
Install our remote deposit capture equipment at your site and send scanned remittance information directly to our processing system instead of processing items themselves or mailing the remittance back to a lockbox facility.
Our Web Image Archive (WIA) platform houses images of checks, documents and correspondence received from your donors. Our system stores a record of all your processed donations and donor information that can be sorted, searched and downloaded on demand. The ability to view stored files on this secure system and grant access to as many or as few users as desired is fully controlled by clients.
Our optimized systems capture data from virtually any document that comes with your receivables, including invoices, donations, donor correspondence, surveys, solicitation slips and more. Our sophisticated page-scanning technology is built on artificial intelligence and machine learning, ensuring efficient capture of all information submitted by donors, including handwritten details.
Get a better understanding of who your existing donors are and use the information to market to prospective donors who meet the same criteria.
Accurately identify which prospects are most likely to become donors, along with AI and machine learning tools that help you reach the right supporter at the right time in the right place to ensure successful conversions and retention. These tools develop customized and targeted offers to attract new donors and retain existing sustainers by preventing cancellations.
