technology to maximize fundraising efforts. To increase organic reach; we have creatively implement a tested combination of email, text & social media. These channels, along with our proprietary system will quickly raise your group more money than ever before. Furthermore, our reps are on-site to ensure the appropriate steps are taken for you to hit your fundraising goal.
EMAIL AUTO IMPORTER
Integrates with over 20 address books including Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, and iCloud making it extremely easy for users to input quality emails of potential donors. This increases the quality & number of emails input into the invite wizard, parent invite wizard, and spread the word email invite.
EMAIL AI
Our email AI system has “smart input” technology that automatically fixes users’ typos like .con to .com, @gmial.com to @gmail.com, etc., prevents duplicates at the fundraiser level. So, users aren’t inviting the same potential donors and getting credit, and prevents participants from inputting “low quality” emails which helps ensure participants are sending quality emails and doing their part in helping the team raise money
EMAIL DELIVERABILITY
Vertical Raise has the Pass-ThroughTM Certification which allows our emails to bypass spam filters of major email providers and ISPs. Making sure that each email invite is delivered to the inbox. Our email sender score is 99 (highest you can get) and our unique open rate is 47% (average for fundraising/non-profit industry is 24.11%).
AUTOMATED EMPLOYER MATCH
Donors can input their employer name and review real-time data on their employers matching guidelines; including minimum & maximum match amounts and ratios.
Fundraisers increase their total raised because 7-10% of donations are matched by employers. We have the largest database of employer match programs (over 20K companies’ subsidiaries & variations) to help increase donor revenue from business corporation pools. This brings in more funds from outside normal community reach.
PARENT SHARE TEXT
This extends the invite wizard to the parents so they can go through the invite process on their phone which drastically increases the number of invites sent.
ROBUST RESHARING FEATURES
Our system makes it quick & easy to re-share fundraisers via email, text, and social platforms. We push potential donors to re-share on landing pages and after they donate, which increases our fundraisers reach by 21%. This happens alongside our email-auto-importer creating an effortless opportunity for donors to share the fundraiser with their contacts.
ENHANCED & PERSONALIZED LANDING PAGES
