It’s a new year and we’re back with updates you’ve been waiting for and new features we know you’ll love. EverTrue offers tools for every department to connect with more alumni and donors and increase giving. Get ready, it’s going to be the best year yet!

📹 ThankView Update

Last year you showed us that there are more than a million ways to reach your donors with ThankView, more than 3.8 million in fact! Check out these exciting new updates to get you started this year.

 

  • Track the progress of your assigned tasks with a weekly task progress report, sent right to your inbox each week.
  • Easily sort your contacts by last name or first name now that they each have their own column
  • Easily create lists (no more duplicate uploads!) directly from your contacts page
  • Take your search to the next level by using custom merge field data to find everyone you are looking for
  • Import lists from Salesforce or RE NXT directly to the lists page (they keep the same list name!)
  • Easily find the right video reply in the video library now that recorders can include the recipient's name in the video requests

 

 

🔎 EverTrue Update

Efficiency on the go, with the all-new activity view for iOS!
When you're running from the airport, to the back seat of an Uber in order to get to a lunch meeting with a donor, quick access to the information you need is vital. The new activity view in the EverTrue iOS app is designed to do just that! By combining interactions, meetings and trips into one spot you can quickly access the information you need helping you be more efficient whenever and wherever you are. Download the app and get started!

  • Interactions
    Curious to know if anyone else has been in touch with someone you are headed into a meeting with? You can now easily move between your interactions and all interactions for your organization. And, after the meeting, you can quickly enter a new interaction by tapping the ‘Add interaction’ button right at the top of the screen.

  • Meetings
    Where you’ve been, where you’re going next week and who you’ve seen can become a blur after you’ve been on the road in different places. In the new meetings view you can easily move between all your meetings, past and present, to get the details you need to refresh your memory.

  • Trips
    In the new trips view, you can review upcoming trips to help with outreach or meeting reminders. And, as you plan, you can see all the prospects for a trip, not just ones you’ve scheduled meetings with, making it easier to try and fill your calendar before you go.

  • Mapping
    Out on the road and looking to fill extra time between meetings? In the new map view you can see the meetings you have scheduled for your trip alongside any unscheduled prospects, making it easier than ever to try and schedule last minute visits.

📈 Fundriver Updates

Fundriver Balance – An update on the updates!

We are so excited to share updates to Balance with you. We are wrapping up our design phase and will start reaching out in the second half of 2023 to talk to your team. Want to know more about what is happening with the Balance rebuild? Check out these FAQs or check out recordings of our 2022 feedback sessions.

Speaking of reporting, with our new enhanced stewardship suite, we are making some changes to our donor report offerings in Balance. We will no longer be creating new custom donor reports in Balance; however, we will be offering a standard Fund Statement report (coming soon!) that can have a logo added or be printed on your organization’s letterhead. Click here for more. (Existing custom donor reports will still be available and supported.)

Fundriver Impact – Maximize effectiveness

Do you ever get tired of making decisions? Who doesn’t! Decision fatigue is real, not only in your day to day life, but in your work cycles as well. There are so many options for reporting to donors on the impact of their contributions, and so many decisions to make. Letter from the President or Advancement VP? How many pages should my report be? How in depth should my financial statements go? What do donors want to read about? What will truly express our gratitude for their generous contribution? So. Many. Decisions.

Impact is designed to help make these choices easier, by keeping them limited to the things that work-the tried and true methods for endowment report engagement. We worked with industry experts, designers, and fundraisers to build report templates you can just plug and play. Want to learn more about the ‘why’ behind Impact templates?
