Customized Higher Education Giving
Done Right.
BlueRidge Giving is setting the standard in flexible, customizable, and easy-to-launch online giving forms that enable you to create the online forms needed to execute your overall fundraising strategy.
If you need to
Our online giving forms can support your goals!
Main Giving Form
Minimize the number of clicks, reduce friction and increase your conversion rates by keeping your main giving form simple and in-brand.
This form will be embedded on your site so you don’t have to send your donors to a third party site that could potentially confuse them or cause them to abandon the process of making a gift.
Make fields collapsible if they’re not required so they only appear when necessary while the rest of your form stays clean and sharp!
Customize Forms for specific Use-Cases / Appeals
Are you securing donors for multiple causes such as study abroad scholarships, endowments and memorial giving, or a parent or faculty giving fund? Design your custom form and embed it directly within the page that addresses why donors should give to that cause.
Keep movement fluid rather than redirecting your donors to one main giving form and keep the process easy for them instead of making them do extra work searching around your website for how to appropriately designate their funds.
Use Case: Memberships
Simplify Membership giving by allow users to join or renew in as little as one-click!
Leverage custom membership forms for your specific needs. You have unlimited, tiered, flexible membership levels.
New Donors: In some cases, you may need a form that asks personal information or shows all membership levels.
Renewing Donors: In other cases, like when you are emailing a known constituent, you can easily bypass all personal information (and even select their membership level) to allow for an extremely streamlined membership process.
Auto-renew: Allow donors to join and have their membership auto-renew each year.
Enterprise Model
Affliates & Clubs
BlueRidge Giving enables you to easily integrate with your affiliates. Enterprise accounts pay a yearly fee that offers two benefits: it removes our platform fee and allows you to onboard your affiliate organizations, chapters, or clubs. This means they have their own account with no additional charges. Donations made through their forms go directly into their Stripe account. Facilitate the transaction without the accounting complexities!
Other options include
- You can take a transaction fee when donations are made to your affiliates
- Donors can optionally make a one-time gift to your organization when making a gift to an affiliate
As an added benefit, you can track all donations both to you and to your affiliates. This automated data flow means you know immediately when a donor makes a gift to an affiliate organization.
Use Case: Current Student Giving
If you are trying to boost giving from current students and recent graduates, we can help!
Let's face it: your main giving form is not easy to use -- it asks too many questions and that doesn't work well on mobile. It likely doesn't leverage the payment methods they use on mobile, like Google Pay or Apple Pay.
We have a different approach: create a giving form that is a perfect fit for this specific scenario. One client, the Association of Former Students of Texas A&M, built a form to allow students to give by just entering in their student ID number. Gifts are easily reconciled on the back-end using this unique identifier, and students get a streamlined giving form that works great on mobile.
The process is easy for the donors, easy for the fundraisers to create and update, and easy for your data team to reconcile.
