Empower Supporters with their own Fundraising Web Pages.


The GiftTool Pledge-a-thon service provides easy, affordable and powerful web-based tools to help your organization raise more money from your special events and campaigns involving volunteer fundraisers or team challenges. With the power of GiftTool, you can easily and effectively manage the online registration and fundraising components of your event.

Let your strongest supporters easily tap into their personal networks to raise more money and mobilize other volunteers with a convenient, effective way to solicit donations from friends and family over the internet. Individuals or teams can create and maintain their own Web pages; send emails to mobilize friends and family to give generously or join a team; and easily measure progress according to their fundraising goals. Volunteers and teams can customize their Web sites with personal photographs, fundraising goals, progress reports and other content to create a destination for their friends, family and other supporters. Participants can also use their websites to manage secure, simple online and offline donations.

Also provide email tools to mobilize friends; online donation processing and opportunities for monthly giving; offline pledge management; and progress reports & graphs. The personal touch from your volunteers will help raise more money and mobilize others to join
Automate Volunteer Signup Integrated online registration can be customized for your fundraising events & campaigns -- for individuals, teams, and corporate groups consisting of multiple teams. Save time and money creating your customized online signup process
Process Online Donations Supporters can give online from your website or from an email sent by a participant. Personal websites will display a progress bar which is instantly updated when a donation is made. Cost effective, secure solution to collect credit card pledges quickly & accurately
Encourage Monthly Giving Encourage donors to join your monthly giving club when donating on a personal website. Build donor loyalty through monthly giving by recruiting donors to make modest monthly donations. It's convenient for the donor because the funds are withdrawn automatically from their credit card each month, and equally convenient for your organization thanks to the automated processing using GiftTool. Monthly giving clubs build donor loyalty and increase annual contributions
Enable Volunteers to Manage Offline Donations Participants can print off and manually fill in a pledge form as offline donations are collected. Once complete, they can record the offline donations to their account and mail in the proceeds to your office. When payment is received, your staff just checks a box to instantly change the status of a donation from ‘Pending’ to ‘Confirmed’ on all reports and online progress bars. Reduce your administrative burden of entering offline pledges into a database
Issue CRA-approved Tax Receipts For Canadian charities able to issue tax receipts, automated electronic tax receipts conforming to the standards of the Canadian Revenue Agency can be instantly issued for all online donations. Send out Bulk eReceipts for all offline pledges received. Reduce your administrative burden cost-effectively and process eTax receipts instantly
