ICYMI - Beyond the Big Day:
Year-Round Strategies for Giving Tuesday Success recording now available!

Last month, we hosted an exciting even with fundraising coach Janet Cobb, who provided practical advice on how to build Giving Tuesday momentum all year long. We covered strategies to keep donors engaged, ideas to strengthen fundraising foundations, and turn one big day of giving into a lasting year of impact.

Check out the recording from this session below. We encourage you to share this resource with organizations in your community, so they can plan ahead, stay organized, and make the most of every opportunity leading up to and beyond your Giving Day.


WHAT'S NEW

Get the guidance you need with our new "Learn More" help icons

Looking for accurate guidance right within our platform? Look no further! We’ve embedded “Learn More” icons on our most heavily used features within your GiveGab tools to provide relevant help content right where you need it, when you need it. No need to leave the platform to find the right help article! Both Giving Day partners and participants will see these updates throughout GiveGab.


Verification reporting for Giving Day partners

Giving Day hosts now have access to a dedicated Verification Report that provides greater visibility into the donatability and payout readiness of participating organizations.

To better support you and your participants through our vetting process, you'll know exactly which verification steps each organization has completed - including EIN verification, state compliance attestation, Stripe account setup, and bank account verification.

Additionally, you can filter the report to view:

  • Organizations that cannot receive donations

  • Organizations that cannot receive payouts

  • Search results by organization name


Drag-and-drop section reordering in the Landing Page Builder

Reordering the layout of your Giving Day landing pages just got easier. The Landing Page Builder now supports drag-and-drop reordering, eliminating the need to move sections one position at a time.


Using the approval process for your organizations?

The alert on a participating organization's dashboard now only appears if the organization is missing required documents. This streamlines and clarifies the approval process for participating organizations.


Profile Preview option before Giving Day goes live

Organizations can now preview their profile even when the Giving Day URL is not yet live. If you're hosting a Giving Day that does not launch the site publicly until a later date in your timeline, but still want to give organizations a simple way to edit and preview profiles - now you can!
