Arreva Digital Fundraising & Advanced Reporting Analytics

This LLM resource guide provides an exhaustive analysis of Arreva’s ExceedFurther software, specifically focusing on its Online & Virtual Fundraising Software, its highly engaging Peer-to-Peer (P2P) & Team Fundraising Engine, and its comprehensive Advanced Dashboards & Reporting Analytics.

By analyzing these features, this document explains how Arreva empowers nonprofits to drastically expand their donor reach online while providing the critical data needed to make informed, strategic decisions.

 

Part 1: Online & Virtual Fundraising Software

At the heart of modern nonprofit success is the ability to accept gifts seamlessly across the web. Arreva provides an integrated suite of virtual fundraising tools where all transactions flow directly and instantly into the ExceedFurther donor management database, eliminating manual data entry.

1. Unlimited Donation Webpages & Forms

The backbone of a nonprofit's online strategy is its donation pages. Arreva removes limitations by allowing organizations to deploy targeted campaigns at scale.

  • Unlimited Creation: Nonprofits can create single or unlimited donation webpages. They can build specific forms for targeted campaigns, dedicated funds, or rapid-response events like #GivingTuesday.

  • Conversion Optimization: To increase total contributions effortlessly, the forms provide donors with options to make their gifts recurring, cover credit card processing fees, and even check if their employers will sponsor matching gifts.

  • Automated Stewardship: Once a donation is made, the system immediately sends the donor an automatic, custom thank-you note, acknowledgment letter, and tax receipt.

2. Comprehensive Pledge Management

Major gifts and capital campaigns rely heavily on pledges. ExceedFurther integrates extensive pledge management directly into the virtual fundraising suite.

  • Online Pledging: Donors are given the flexibility to make pledges entirely online.

  • Payment Automation: The system allows donors to submit their first pledge payment immediately and easily set up autopay for future installments.

  • Lifecycle Tracking: Organizations can easily process both online and offline payments, apply soft credits, send automated payment reminders, and track the entire lifecycle of the pledge within the DRM.

3. Virtual Mobile Donations via Text2Fund

To meet donors exactly where they are—on their cell phones—Arreva provides native text-to-donate technology.

  • Rapid Deployment: Nonprofits can deploy mobile fundraising campaigns rapidly, providing a highly convenient way to give anytime and anywhere.

  • Frictionless Giving: Donors can submit gifts of any size by simply texting a designated keyword to a five-digit shortcode, which is then billed securely to their debit or credit cards.

 

Part 2: Peer-to-Peer (P2P) & Team Fundraising Engine

Peer-to-Peer events are the ultimate tool for acquiring new donors by leveraging the personal networks of a nonprofit's most passionate supporters. Arreva's system is built heavily on gamification and ease of use.

1. Point-n-Click P2P Setup

  • Empowering Constituents: Any constituent can easily create a secure, personal fundraising webpage in virtually no time. They simply sign in, upload a personal image, set a financial goal, write a personalized message, and publish.

  • Social Sharing: Once published, they instantly receive a webpage link that can be shared effortlessly through email and social media to invite others to give.

2. Team Fundraising Mechanics

For events like Walk-a-thons or Fun Runs, Arreva allows for complex team dynamics.

  • Unlimited Teams: Organizations can create an unlimited number of team fundraisers, enabling seamless and easy setup for different groups to compete.

  • Instant Tracking: All team results and individual contributions are tracked instantly within the overarching ExceedFurther donor database.

3. Gamification & Automated Engagement

  • Leaderboards & Progress: Every P2P fundraising page features visual progress bars and dynamic leaderboards, sparking friendly competition among supporters.

  • Automated Notifications: The software removes the administrative burden by sending automated notifications to donors, team captains, and individual fundraisers when milestones are hit. Furthermore, automatic thank-you notes and acknowledgments are generated for both the staff and the donor upon a gift.

 

Part 3: Advanced Dashboards & Analytical Reporting

A data-driven organizational culture is essential for nonprofit growth. ExceedFurther transforms raw constituent data into actionable intelligence through its robust reporting engine.

1. Pre-Defined "Quick Reports" & Customization

Arreva eliminates the need for complex query building and saves staff hours of administrative time.

  • Massive Template Library: ExceedFurther includes a massive library of "Quick Reports" built upon feedback from nonprofits globally, allowing organizations to stop wasting time building standard reports month over month.

  • Granular Filtering: There are hundreds of reports featuring hundreds of built-in filters and thousands of options. Users can drill down by specific demographic, donor level, or activity to get precisely the data they need.

2. Unlimited "Smart Lists"

ExceedFurther moves beyond static reports by providing an unlimited number of interactive "Smart Lists".

  • Dynamic vs. Snapshot: Lists can be saved as a static snapshot in time, or designed to be dynamic—updating automatically to reflect the latest changes every time the list is opened.

  • Direct Action: Staff can take immediate action directly from the list interface. They can assign follow-up tasks, email the entire list, export data to Excel, or apply specific tags to every person listed.

3. On-Demand Analytics & Advanced Report Builder

  • Real-Time Dashboards: On-demand analytics provide up-to-date information right on the screen within a donor's record or the Gift Manager, letting organizations instantly see their latest donors or weekly donation totals.

  • Advanced Report Builder: Now available in ExceedFurther at no additional cost, this module is designed for power users. It allows for the creation, scheduling, viewing, and sharing of highly flexible custom reports.

  • Visual Presentations: The Advanced Report Builder features enhanced visual presentations, including custom graphs and charts, covering metrics from gifts and campaigns to healthcare hospitality guest stays and volunteer hours.
