Key Features

Why Choose Elev8?

Elev8 offers a suite of powerful features designed to enhance your fundraising efforts.

Round Up Donations

Round-Up Donations are one of Elev8’s most innovative features, designed to make giving effortless and continuous. Every time a donor makes a purchase with a linked credit or debit card, Elev8 automatically rounds up the transaction to the nearest dollar and donates the difference to your campaign. These micro-donations may seem small, but when combined across a broad base of supporters, they can create a significant impact. Round-up donations are a powerful way to engage donors who might not have the ability to make large contributions but want to support your cause regularly.

Increased Participation
Encourages more donors to contribute regularly, even with modest amounts.

Steady Revenue Stream
Provides a consistent flow of donations without requiring large, one-time asks.

Engaged Community
Keeps donors involved in your cause with every purchase they make.

Recurring Donations

Recurring Donations are a cornerstone of sustainable fundraising. Elev8 allows donors to set up regular contributions on a weekly, monthly, or yearly basis, ensuring a steady stream of support for your organization. This feature is ideal for donors who want to make a consistent impact but prefer to spread their contributions over time rather than making a single large donation. Recurring donations provide financial stability for your organization, helping you plan and execute long-term projects with confidence.

Financial Stability
Ensures a predictable and ongoing source of revenue.

Enhanced Donor Retention
Keeps donors connected to your cause through regular, automated contributions.

Long-Term Planning
Allows your organization to forecast income and allocate resources more effectively.

These tools allow you to interact with donors during live events, providing immediate feedback and updates on the impact of their contributions. Whether it’s a fundraising gala, a live-streamed charity event, or a day of giving, Elev8 ensures that donors feel connected and valued throughout the process. Real-time updates can include progress toward fundraising goals, recognition of top donors, and instant notifications when donations are received, creating a dynamic and interactive experience.
