Welcome to this month’s edition of The Engager Newsletter! As summer draws to a close and people take a moment to spend time in the sun, we’re looking back at what has been a truly dynamic year for Engaging Networks so far. Our team has been busy launching new tools and features to empower nonprofits like yours to drive even greater impact.
The year so far has brought exciting growth, new partnerships, and innovative developments across our platform, including smarter fundraising and advocacy features, enhanced analytics and reporting, and expanded international support. Our ongoing commitment to delivering integrated, data-driven solutions continues to fuel measurable impact and transformative growth for our clients, and we’re just getting started!
Here’s a quick look back at the highlights from the year so far and a glimpse of what’s coming this fall and beyond.
If you were fortunate enough to attend, it was fantastic to connect with you, and we hope you had a productive and engaging week at the annual Bridge Conference in National Harbor, Maryland.
Engaging Networks had a terrific time connecting with our nonprofit community. The Bridge Conference is a special time for all of us. Most importantly, we hope you had fun and got to meet some wonderful people at our event.
To those who attended our annual Tacos and Tequila happy hour: it was wonderful to have you at our annual party, an event that has been a Bridge staple for nearly a decade! This year’s event was our most successful yet, reaching a record number of attendees. It’s always a pleasure to gather with our incredible community of nonprofit professionals, and we’re truly grateful for your support.
We hosted an amazing webinar earlier this month, Peer Power in Action: Insights from the Front Lines of Community Fundraising. If you missed it, now’s the perfect time to catch the recording and tap into the expertise of leading nonprofit professionals!
Moderated by Molly Kelly of Zuri Group and introduced by John Simatowski from Engaging Networks, the session features insights from Ashley Ryan (Huntsman Cancer Foundation), Brian Muha (Lurie Children’s Hospital), and Michael Ragsdale (Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital). The panel dives deep into the latest strategies for both DIY and event-based peer-to-peer fundraising, spotlighting real-world approaches and the latest platform capabilities available in Engaging Networks.
You’ll hear actionable tips on motivating and recognizing fundraisers, the importance of clear goals and metrics, and how engaging stories, creative incentives, and digital tools are helping organizations amplify their impact. Case studies from each panelist reveal the power of strong supporter relationships, milestone tracking, highly functional fundraising websites, and community-building efforts that drive real results.
Ready to unlock new ideas for your next peer-to-peer campaign? Watch the full webinar recording and gain inspiration from nonprofit colleagues who are raising the bar in community-driven fundraising. And don’t forget; attendees are automatically added to Engaging Networks Academy for even more resources, plus the opportunity to join us at the ENCC DC conference this fall!

A few months ago, Engaging Networks released a brand new visual reporting dashboard, bringing powerful new enhancements to our nonprofit reporting and campaign analysis tools. It delivers even clearer insights with greater flexibility for your fundraising and engagement strategies. Built to help you understand what drives real results, our platform empowers you to track every aspect of your digital outreach with ease!
To help benchmark your results, the dashboard includes actionable insights as well as M+R benchmarks for key metrics like Click-Through Rate (CTR), Unsubscribe Rate, and Revenue Per Thousand Emails. With centralized, actionable reporting, you can pinpoint opportunities for growth and make smarter, data-driven decisions to achieve your organization’s goals.
These features are designed to lighten your team’s workload, help you target the right supporters, and track results efficiently. Want to learn more? Check out this page, watch this free training, or contact us for a demo to see if Engaging Networks is the right solution for you.
