How does Boundless Fundraising Social differ from Blackbaud’s new Facebook Fundraiser solution?
Based on availability and demand, Charity Dynamics will also continue to integrate Boundless Fundraising Social into new social media platforms.
Boundless Fundraising Social enables your participants to quickly and easily start fundraising for your organization through a social dashboard that lives within the confines of your existing event website. Rather than asking your participants to log in directly to their different social media channels and promote your cause (which encourages abandonment), encourage them to immediately take action as part of your welcome walk-through.
In addition, the multichannel tools within Boundless Fundraising Social can be displayed to your participants as either a separate communication tab or as a lightbox.

Want to Hear More About Boundless Fundraising Social?
Boundless Fundraising Social expands your participants’ ability to fundraise beyond Facebook to Twitter, LinkedIn, text messages (coming soon!) from a mobile device and web push notifications (coming soon!) when on a desktop.
And given that Boundless Fundraising Social is nested within the event website, it serves as a more direct extension of an organization’s fundraising efforts.
Perhaps the most powerful feature of Boundless Fundraising Social comes in the form of pre-selected message templates that event participants can opt-in to immediately after registration for your event. The scheduled messages tool automates best practices for reaching out to friends and family for donations and recruiting team members, enabling your participants to get their fundraising up and running quickly.
Through Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, participants have a variety of different scheduled post options available to them. These include messages that are based around progress toward their fundraising goal (e.g., I’m 75% towards my goal of $500), messages based around proximity to the event date (e.g., 15 days until event), and more!
Based on metrics that we generate annually, Charity Dynamics estimates that between 40% and 60% of all Facebook donations have traditionally come through this feature!
Want to Hear More About Boundless Fundraising Social?
Absolutely! Not only does Boundless Fundraising Social provide event participants with the ability to send out suggested messages via Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, email, and soon, text messaging, but participants also have the ability to personalize the content of the messages before sending.
All messages have links back to each participant’s donation page with source codes for tracking and reporting.
