Adding Donors to your Account
Starting Out: Adding current donors to your account
Existing donors can be added to your account in one of three ways:
Via Online Information Forms – Donors create their own profiles by completing your organization’s information form
Added Administratively – Administrators create the profiles and provide the login information if donors are expected to access their profiles
Bulk Import – This is a billable service that is included in PLUS account packages, or can be purchased as an a la carte service
Recruiting New Donors
Via Online Information Forms – Donors create their own profiles by completing your organization’s information form as part of the onboarding process. Links to the information form can be shared on your organization’s website or through social media.
MyImpactPage.com Public Search – Organizations can choose to make their Public Page searchable on the user login page, to help donors who use Better Impact find other opportunities available to them. This feature can be enabled and disabled at any time by a Full administrator on the account. Requesting this is easily done using the chat at the bottom right corner of their admin screen. Location keywords, such as relevant city, town and/or county, can be used for this search.
