Benefits of Sage Fundraising Online
Accept Donations on My Website
The most effective donation forms are simple, require a minimal amount of clicks and are easy for donors to use. Instead of creating a single donation form that can handle every potential giving option, Sage Fundraising Online allows you to easily build and deploy different forms based on how a user wants to give. Ask donors what their interests are, point them to the correct form and it's like they are going to a custom form created just for them. Whether donors are giving from a computer or a mobile phone, you're always providing a positive giving experience.
With Sage Payment Solutions, you can easily integrate a secure, cost-effective solution into your website to accept credit card and ACH (automated clearing house) transactions. Easily manage donations, while keeping confidential information safe and secure.

One of the greatest barriers to making an online donation is the complexity of many of today's donation forms. With Sage Fundraising Online, you can remove obstacles by creating simple, user friendly donation forms and placing them anywhere on your site. Donors complete the entire transaction without being taken off the page with the content that inspired them to give. This positive experience makes it less likely that they'll abandon the form, improving conversion rates and gift sizes.

Quickly Launch a Cost-Effective Event
Think you can't launch an event like Race for the Cure? Many nonprofits think they don't have the resources to launch an event on their own so they either do it manually or sacrifice control to a third-party vendor. With Sage Fundraising Online you stay in control from start to finish. With a couple of extra clicks, your event's participants can become fundraisers by tapping into their own online social networks.
- Build and deploy your own custom forms and share them anywhere on the Web.
- Access registrant data and fees on demand.
- Create and run your own reports and share them with stakeholders.
- Increase revenue by sharing donation forms across the Web.
- Build stronger relationships by communicating directly with registrants.
Compare an event managed by Sage Fundraising Online with a third-party vendor:
| Sage Fundrasing Online | Other Third-Party Solutions | |
|---|---|---|
| Registration User Experience | Build and deploy registration forms on your own site, on sponsor sites, and in context with your existing marketing. | Registrants are shuffled away to an off-site form surrounded by marketing messages from the vendor... not you. |
| Registrant Data | You own your registrant data... without restrictions. Your data is accessible and exportable anytime & in real-time. | They own your registrant data. Reports must be requested on their schedule and are frequently delayed or filtered. |
| Registration Fees | Fees collected during registration go directly to a merchant account owned by you. Sage does not cage or hold back a portion of funds. | Your registrant fees are held by the third-party. They cage the funds, holding back their fees, and send you the remainder 30-90 days after the transaction. |
| Registrant Communication | You manage all communication with your registrants. Since you own the data you have direct relationships with your participants. | Third-parties can send marketing messages from paid advertisers and competing events to solicit your participants. They may even charge a fee to send a message to your participants on your behalf. |
