What's Next

Optimized Forms: More Branding and Sender Control

Upcoming releases add more control over how optimized forms look and communicate with donors, building on the branding card and autoresponder foundation already in place.

• Custom branding card fonts and colors: Branding card fonts and button colors currently use a shared service library, so every organization's branding card looks the same. Soon, you can customize these fonts and colors to match your organization's brand guidelines.

• Selectable page wrappers for hosted URLs: When you generate a Hosted URL for your optimized form today, Luminate Online automatically applies your site's default page wrapper. A new option in the setup wizard lets you select which custom page wrapper applies to that form.

• Custom autoresponder sender information: Autoresponder receipt emails from an optimized form currently use your organization's master sender name and email address.You will be able to set a custom sender name and reply email address for autoresponder receipts on that specific donation form.

Together, these updates give your team finer control over the look and feel of every optimized form you publish.

Optimized Donation Forms: TeamRaiser Integration

Optimized donation forms bring high-converting giving directly into peer-to-peer fundraising, offering an in-context checkout experience that eliminates page reloads:

• Clear event, team, and participant display: The checkout modal clearly shows donors the exact event, team, and participant they are supporting, giving them complete confidence in where their gift is going.

• In-modal privacy and recognition options: All privacy and recognition settings including Make my donation anonymous, Keep my gift amount private, entering a custom display name, or adding a Personal message are handled directly within the checkout modal, streamlining the giving experience and driving higher conversion rates.

• Suppress recurring gifts: For time-bound athletic and seasonal events (such as marathons or cycling rides), administrators can suppress monthly giving to accept one-time contributions only.

• Dedicated selection workflow: When associating a donation form with a TeamRaiser event, the dropdown menu clearly splits into distinct Standard Forms and Optimized Forms sections.

Optimized Donation Forms: TeamRaiser Modernization Configuration

New features streamline administrative event creation and setup with modern, intuitive workflows:

• Streamlined event setup: Nonprofits can launch new TeamRaiser events through a simplified creation flow in just two quick steps.

• Expanded suggested goals & labels: Administrators can configure up to 4 tiered suggested fundraising goals for participants and teams, complete with custom motivational impact labels (e.g., "$500 – Provides Community Care Kits").

• Streamlined multi-registration: Fundraisers can register family members and additional participants in a single flow, complete with inline waiver acceptance for minors.

• Custom and theme icon libraries: Organizations can apply theme-default icon sets or upload custom brand icons individually or in bulk across autogenerated event pages.

• Discount code management: Enhanced discount controls allow administrators to easily search, edit, set validity start dates, and delete discount codes.

TeamRaiser Dashboard: Centralized Participant Experience

A modern, single-page application (SPA) dashboard provides fundraisers with a unified home base to track their participation, measure multi-year impact, and manage peer-to-peer activity across all events:

• Unified My Events participant hub: Consolidates a constituent's active, upcoming, and past completed TeamRaiser events into a single screen, offering one-click entry into their active campaigns.

• Impact analytics: Fundraisers can view real-time personal fundraising metrics, including total dollars raised, average donation size, and total donations to track their individual progress.

• Indirect impact for team captains: Team captains receive a dedicated Indirect Impact tile showing the broader ripple effect of their recruitment efforts—surfacing the total dollars raised by their recruits alongside team member and team count breakdowns.

• Program and year filtering: Participants can filter and compare their lifetime fundraising achievements across specific event programs and calendar years.

• Find Events geolocation engine: Allows fundraisers to search for nearby active events within a 10-to-200-mile radius of their postal code and access event registration directly.

• Gamified milestones and badges: Progress meters and organization-branded achievement badges celebrate completed actions and motivate participants toward their next fundraising tier.
