What Using GivePanel’s DIY Fundraising Solution Can Mean for Your Charity
We’ve covered the problem, the solution, and the features. Now let’s talk about what this actually means for your fundraising team. Because features are just features until they translate into real impact.
Your time back
This is the most immediate benefit.
No more downloading registration data and cleaning it up, no more manually uploading supporter information to your email platform, no more scheduling individual email sends based on event dates. All that manual work? Gone.
What you avoid:
- Manual data exports and imports between systems
- Building complicated segments for email sends
- Chasing supporters to create fundraising pages after registration
- Piecing together reports from multiple platforms
What you gain:
- Hours every week. Hours you can redirect to activities that actually grow your fundraising, like adding those special touches to your high-potential supporters.
A better supporter experience
Your supporters aren’t thinking about your internal processes. They just want fundraising to be simple. With one-step registration and page creation, it is.
They visit your website, they fill out one form, they’re ready to fundraise. No bouncing between platforms, no waiting for follow-up emails with instructions, no confusion about next steps.
The impact:
- Fewer drop-offs between registration and page creation. More supporters who actually start fundraising sooner. A smoother experience that reflects well on your charity.
And because emails are triggered based on their specific event type and timeline, they get relevant communication that helps, inspires and encourages them to raise more.
Complete data visibility
When your data is scattered across multiple platforms, you’re making decisions with incomplete information. With our DIY solution, everything lives in one place.
Our Smart Registration uses proprietary Smart Match algorithms to ensure your JustGiving DIY supporters get captured automatically. Registration data flows in seamlessly. Email engagement is tracked within the same instance.
What this means:
- You can track progress across your entire DIY program. You can identify high-value supporters quickly. You can see who’s engaged, who needs support, and who’s ready for a deeper relationship.
No more wondering if you’re missing fundraisers. No more manual reconciliation between systems. Just complete and accurate data you can act on.
Freedom to focus on what matters
Here’s what really changes: how you spend your time. When you’re not buried in manual processes, you can focus on the work that actually makes a difference.
You can:
- Call your top fundraisers to offer support and encouragement
- Build deeper relationships with engaged supporters
- Identify supporters who need extra help and reach out proactively
- Develop strategies to grow your program
This is the work that grows fundraising. This is where your expertise makes a difference. Our DIY solution handles the repetitive tasks so you can focus on the strategic work only you can do.
Real impact on fundraising growth
When you combine all these benefits, here’s what happens:
- More supporters complete the journey. The friction between registration and fundraising disappears. More people who express interest actually start raising money.
- Better engagement. Timely, relevant emails mean supporters feel supported throughout their journey. They’re more likely to hit their goals and come back again.
- Smarter decisions. Complete data means you can identify what’s working, double down on successful strategies, and allocate resources where they’ll have the biggest impact.
- Higher fundraiser retention. When you have time to nurture relationships with your best supporters, they stick around. They fundraise again. They become advocates for your cause.
All of this adds up to stronger, more sustainable fundraising growth.
What this looks like in practice
Imagine this scenario:
A supporter decides to fundraise for your cause. They visit your website, fill out the embedded form, and their JustGiving page is created instantly.
Two days later, they receive an automated email with tips for their specific activity type. A week before their event, they get another message with final encouragement.
Meanwhile, you didn’t manually send a single email. The supporter who registered directly on JustGiving? They’re in your system too, captured through our Smart Match tool.
You’re looking at your dashboard. You can see all your DIY fundraisers, track their progress, and identify the top performers who deserve a personal call.
You spend your afternoon reaching out to those high-value supporters, building relationships, and helping them succeed.
That’s the difference.
The bottom line
Our DIY solution isn’t just about automation. It’s about freeing you up to do the work that matters.
- Less time on spreadsheets. More time with fundraisers.
- Less manual busywork. More strategic growth.
- Less scattered data. More confident decisions.
That’s what this means for your team. That’s what this means for your fundraising.
