Expedited Giving and Expedited Giving Plus (shown in the product as Expedited Giving +) help eligible nonprofits receive funds faster by reducing the time it takes for approved donations and grants to reach their intended nonprofits. Once a grant or donation is approved, eligible transactions are processed faster than standard disbursement, helping organizations receive funds sooner and supporting a more responsive giving experience across CSRconnect, GrantsConnect, and Blackbaud Verified Network.

Eligible nonprofits will display an Expedited Giving indicator next to the charity name in CSRconnect for supported donation types.

Users can filter results by selecting Filter by Expedited Giving Eligible in CSRconnect, making it easier to identify charities that support faster disbursement.

To qualify, eligible nonprofits must sign up for disbursement through ACH or a Blackbaud Integrated Payments account. In addition, corporate dollars must be prefunded to be eligible for Expedited Giving.

See Expedited Giving and Expedited Giving Plus for the supported donation types and configuration requirements.

To make logging an offline donation faster for your employees, we have added AI-powered receipt scanning to the offline donation flow.

If receipt uploads are enabled, the system will scan the employee's receipt and populate the Donation Amount, Donate Date, and Donation Type fields if found on the receipt. The system will also verify the charity and donor name are a match.

We've updated recurring credit card donation type settings, giving you more control over Give options in your community.

• You can now hide the recurring credit card option from your community, allowing you to prevent new recurring credit card donations without affecting existing ones.

• For Give Engagement Elements and Giving Campaigns, you can now enable one-time and recurring credit card donations independently.

• The recurring credit card donation type is now segmentable.

Contact your Customer Success Manager to configure your community's donation types.
