Fundraising Tools

Our Online Tools power the Obama campaign's quest for the Presidency -- we've facilitated tens of millions of dollars in contributions over the past year, managing immense traffic spikes as we continue to deepen donors' involvement and bring in repeat gifts. But you don't need a hundred-million-dollar budget to make BSD's fundraising tools pay off.  Any organization that aims to cultivate donors online can benefit from the fundraising features that the BSD Online Tools make available to you.

Seamlessly integrated contribution processing and disbursement

Online fundraising is built right into the BSD Online Tools.  Your BSD online fundraising pages are fully integrated with the BSD constituent management database, so the information you collect from donors (like names, addresses, email addresses, and telephone numbers) flows directly into your CRM database.  That means you can use donors' data (including donor history information) as selection criteria when developing email and advocacy campaigns.

And with BSD fundraising, your Web users have a fully branded experience. You control the look and feel, and they remain on your site throughout the entire contribution process, from initiation through authorization. If you're already accepting Web contributions through another channel, switching to BSD will probably be easy.   The BSD Online Tools support all mainstream online payment processors (including Authorize.net and Chase Paymentech), and they work with your existing merchant account.

Versatile, easy-to-use forms builder

Take complete control of the branding and layout of your contribution forms with the BSD interactive forms builder.  A broad subset of HTML is supported (as on all BSD-generated pages), but you don't need to know HTML to create rich, effective layouts with ease.  Get started easily, with forms templates that automatically collect the CRM data you need, including the data for FEC compliance and reporting.  Build as many forms as you like, source-coded to support segmented programs and analysis.

Reporting, compliance, and accounting integration

All your constituents' interactions with your Web site are tracked, making it easy to understand what's working for you online and to do more of it. View fundraising reports by campaign and source, sorted and segmented by day and hour, by offer, by geography, or by other criteria that are important to you. Or export summary or detail information for offline analysis or for integration into your compliance software or accounting database.

Redundant, load-balanced connection

When your candidate is on "Meet the Press" or your organization makes the front page of the Los Angeles Times -- you need to be ready for the resulting traffic. For high-volume individual fundraising programs online, BSD sets the standard.  Our network configuration, our redundant load-balanced connections and our experience managing highly variable traffic ensure that we'll meet or exceed our uptime guarantees and you won't miss a single contribution, even when your traffic spikes.
