Giving Checkout
Giving Checkout is now available for United Kingdom charities supported by JustGiving
With this release, NPOconnect has been updated to provide the Giving Checkout feature to those UK charities that can be processed by JustGiving. The Donate with JustGiving button will now appear in these organizations' public profiles in NPOconnect.
Giving Checkout is a quick and easy way for organizations to receive online donations through JustGiving. For more information, see the Donate to Nonprofits Using Giving Checkout resources.
Volunteer Events
Added ability to automatically add volunteers to a waitlist when shifts are at capacity
Organizers now have the option to include a waitlist when creating new events in the Volunteer Events area. When enabled, volunteers can add themselves to the waitlist if a shift they are interested in is currently at capacity. If spots become available, volunteers will automatically be moved to the event in the order they joined the waitlist for a given shift.
For more information, see the Create Volunteer Events resource.
Added option to include meet-up instructions for in-person events
When creating events that are scheduled to take place in-person, organizers now have the option to include meet-up instructions for their volunteers. This information will be displayed in the event’s details.
For more information, see the Create Volunteer Events resource.
Organizers now receive an email notification when volunteers sign up for an event
Nonprofit administrators managing events will now automatically receive an email when a volunteer signs up for an event. This notification will include the number of new participants and their assigned hours.
For more information, see the View Event Participants resource.
