As technology advances, it is becoming increasingly important for your non-profit to use a donation platform that includes more ways to collect donations. At Total Merchant Services, we have access to one of the most robust systems available for processing donations for a non-profit organization, GiveHub. GiveHub has shown an average increase of 30%, in some cases up to a 70% increase in donations, for non-profits implementing the system. This article will review GiveHub along with its capabilities and features. Whether you are a part of operating a religious organization or other non-profit, read on to learn how to increase your non-profit’s contributions.
GiveHub Donation Platform Features and Benefits
GiveHub offers Free Giving Kiosks, Text Giving, Online Giving, Mobile Apps, Software Management, and All-In-One-Marketing. In utilizing GiveHub as your credit card services platform and Total Merchant Services as your merchant services company, you can select some or all of the services in an a-la-carte manner. Let’s dig in deeper, looking at each of the components GiveHub offers so that you can decide which would impact your non-profit giving the most.
- Free Giving Kiosk – GiveHub’s Free Giving Kiosk is a giving terminal that allows your contributors to swipe their credit cards and sign up for a single or recurring donation to your non-profit. You can create individual choices for the donor to select where the offering will be used or operate under a single giving fund. The kiosk goes beyond scheduling and accepting credit card donations; it also is a portal where your donors can register for events, sign-up for volunteering, and do child check-ins if your location has childcare services. Additionally, you can purchase a custom-wrapped stand to help your giving kiosk stand out. The terminal equipment is available at no cost to your organization.
- Text Giving – GiveHub’s Text Giving is the fastest way to give, with an under 10-second process. You can create a custom keyword for the giving campaign that when a donor sends the keyword to your toll-free number, they can give right from their mobile phone. As with the free giving kiosk, the donor can make a one-time or recurring donation via text giving.
- Online Giving – GiveHub’s Online Giving looks just like text and kiosk giving, so your donors will feel comfortable and familiar with the platform, no matter how they choose to give. You can place the link to the donation page on your website or social media posts.
- Mobile Apps – You may not suspect a custom mobile app would be able to fit within your organization’s budget. GiveHub offers very affordable mobile app builds customized to your organization. Mobile app features include; sharing content, live streaming, donations, event posting, mirror webpage, social media links, push notifications, geofencing, and more.
- Software Management – GiveHubs remote back-office gives you control over the entire system. You can separate donors into groups, launch campaigns, run custom reporting, including giving reports, and import previous donations via check, cash, or credit. The back-end system has unlimited seats with roles and permissions so that you can provide access to whoever needs access to the system to perform their role within your organization.
- All-In-One-Marketing – If you choose not to take advantage of GiveHub’s mobile app build but still want to send notifications to your followers, you can use the all-in-one marketing tool. With this tool, you can send out text notifications of events, reminders, or requests for a donation. There are even drip campaigns to reach out to first-time contacts to ensure they do not fall through the cracks.
As you can see from all of the features of the GiveHub donation platform, many tools are available to help you grow your donations. Non-profit organizations nationwide use GiveHub to increase contributions and keep donor support over time.
GiveHub Custom Wrapped Kiosks
GiveHub’s custom wrapping for donation kiosks offers churches and non-profit organizations a unique opportunity to enhance their fundraising efforts. With a fully customizable app, these kiosks allow organizations to tailor the donation experience to their specific needs and identity. The customization options extend to the entire app, allowing real-time updates, language changes, and the ability to show or hide features as needed. This flexibility ensures that the donation process aligns perfectly with the organization’s branding and messaging, making it more engaging for donors.
The comprehensive back-office benefits add another layer of convenience and efficiency. The system provides unlimited seats with roles and permissions, making it ideal for teams of any size. Features like event registration, volunteer sign-ups, customizable reports, and tracking of various aspects like member involvement and family data streamline the administrative process. This integration simplifies management and enhances the overall experience for the organization and its donors, promoting a more effective and connected fundraising environment.
Here’s an example of GiveHub wrapped Kiosks.
GiveHub Pricing for Non-Profits
With GiveHub, you have several options for pricing your merchant services account. The most popular choice is to offer an opportunity for your donors to add an amount to the donation to offset the cost of processing the credit card. This option is also customizable to be the default selection, or you can allow the donor to choose to enable the option. GiveHub finds that donors widely accept to cover the costs of the transaction.
