About Online Giving

Note: March 13 language update: The full requirements of PCI 4.0 will begin to be enforced on March 31, 2025. Your organization has its own PCI audit date to comply with those requirements. To ensure your organization is ready, update all of your payment forms before your PCI audit date. To ensure that Blackbaud is compliant before Blackbaud's audit, we will run an Auto-Compliance Migration Script from May 1-16th to enforce updated payment processing. The script will update all unchanged forms with the checkout modal, potentially causing layout and processing changes. This script cannot update API forms, which you must manually update. See Auto Migration FAQs.

Warning: All credit and debit card transactions must use the new checkout by March 2025 to meet Payment Card Industry standards. Configure your active, new, and recurring card payment forms with checkout to meet PCI standards before March 2025.

Training: eLearnings are available at Level Up with Luminate Online. You can also catch a recording of a workshop webinar to walk through payment changes.

Create and manage donation campaigns and forms. Each Online Giving donation form belongs to a campaign. A donation campaign contains forms, permissions, payment processing, and internal communication settings. This structure allows you to:

  • Monitor and manage a group of donations from a single source.

  • Compare results between campaigns.

  • Compare results for different forms within a single campaign.

  • Copy and modify existing campaigns to maintain consistency and avoid redundant work.

Access your campaigns and forms from the lists on the Online Giving page. Select Fundraising and Donation Management.
