July Partner Roundup: Tech Updates, Giving Improvements, and Partner Events
Welcome to our July edition of the Partner Roundup! This month, we’re proud to showcase how our accredited partners are connecting with the nonprofit community, building new integrations, and simplifying donation processes.
In this month’s Partner Roundup, you’ll learn about:
- Our new integration with Kindsight’s Ascend CRM
- Simplifying donor-advised fund (DAF) donations with a guide from Doing Good Digital
- 4Site Studios’ Bridge Jam session on Thursday, July 30
Let’s take a look at what our partners are up to this month.
Spotlight 1: Check Out Kindsight’s Ascend CRM Integration With Engaging Networks
Engaging Networks and Kindsight are proud to announce a new integration! Our platform now works with Kindsight’s Ascend, a Salesforce-based CRM built for advancement and fundraising.
This integration makes sure that supporter and transaction data from Engaging Networks flows into Ascend in a format that’s clean, standardized, and ready for use. Organizations interested in using Ascend for their CRM can now do so while taking advantage of Engaging Networks’ best-in-class tools.
Read more about how the integration works.
Spotlight 2: Learn More About DAF Gifts With Doing Good Digital
Does your organization accept Donor Advised Funds (DAF) payments? If you’re not allowing DAF donors to give directly on your site, you could be adding unnecessary friction to the process. Did you know that there is $326 billion held in DAFs and, on average, donors give 10 times more with a DAF (according to Chariot)?
In this article, Doing Good Digital shares how Engaging Networks integrates with DAFpay by Chariot so you can accept DAF gifts directly on your site.
