Since 2012, the team here at Localgiving have been 100% committed to providing you with the essential tools to raise the money needed to support your community.  It might be August, but Autumn is just around the corner, and this is the time of year when we see the highest number of donations.

With this crucial period fast approaching, today we are proud to announce exciting news that will help supercharge your fundraising with us. Last month we updated our new fundraising pages and today we are proud to announce we have added a number of new tools for our charity members, including:

• A new and improved Charity Profile with a fresh new design featuring images, social links and video.
• The ability to easily contact your donors and fundraisers and to share thank you messages and other key communications.
• AI support to sharpen how you write about your charity and make your profile be found more easily on search engines like Google.
• An easier way to manage and connect with fundraisers set up by your organisation as well as your supporters.
• A clear picture of your donations, with an at a glance ability to review donations as well as detailed reports for your evaluation and forecasting.
