  1. Video acknowledgment tool to send supporters a video thank-you message

    Include a video acknowledgment tool to engage donors with a simple thank you message. The use of video increases engagement. Make it simple to create thank you videos directly from smartphones.

  2. Admin-Assisted Conversations (2-Way)

    For non-computer literate sponsors, we offer the opportunity to send correspondence on their behalf. However, REACH does not allow admin (our staff) assisted conversations from the sponsor to the child - only from the child to the sponsor. This is due to the fact that REACH was originally designed as an online sponsorship solution ONLY. However, we don't put these qualifications on people who wish to sponsor our children. We'd like to be able to support consistent conversation activity between sponsors and children whether they are computer literate or not. Conversations create stronger engagement and longer sponsorship relationships.

  3. Customizable fields in email sponsor reports

    I would like to email sponsors that need to renew the supporter name, the sponsorship name and share, and the amount due. This can be done in Mail Merge using a mail merge template but no one mails letters anymore. We need this to be in an emailable format.

  4. Import file

    It would be helpful to see a column on import template for field source, like System or Custom. Also, for Sponsorships have tabs for each sponsorship type and the fields applicable to them

  5. A Sponsorship Summit

    There are no classes at the local community college on how to do sponsorship, right? We research and figure it out as we go! As an NPO with more than 800 sponsored children so far, we often wish there were opportunities for fellow organizations within the REACH family to come together, share ideas, failures/successes, fellowship and more. Like a 1 or 2 day conference. What about you?

  6. Contact preferences

    It would be great to run a report to find out which supporters have opted out of email communication. I've been sending out messages, however our supporters haven't been getting them as they hadn't ticked the right box. If I'd know I could have contacted them via alternative means or ask them if they wanted to adjust their settings.

  7. custom donation fields

    As we continue to switch our historical data into this database, it would be useful to import with more flexibility regarding "Payment Type" on donations.

  8. Shorten URL links

    It would be nice to be able to shorten links. So instead of using https://aohi.reachapp.co/projects/high-school-fund we could use www.aohi.org/highschool

  9. Restriction of updating record

    There should be a restriction when updating the donors name in the record/ system by the donor themselves. good example for this,someone donated online and use existing email address, then the existing record will be automatic updated. where in fact they are different person and just using same email.

  10. Team Member Dashboard

    Make the Team pictures and descriptions its own editable tab on the dashboard like the projects/places/events...not something you have to manually enter into the code. Non-profits often face a revolving set of personnel and volunteers so these fields need to be edited often. Thus, it would be nice to have anyone able to easily change these fields without having to teach someone how to edit code.

  11. Customizable Table Headings

    I would like to be able to choose what columns appear in the table on the Sponsorships admin page.Most of the information in the existing columns are not information we use (permalink, type, shares, campaigns) . It would be nice to be able to see some quick information there without having to click on the child's individual record to find it. Ie. Last name, ID number, Birthday, Age, etc. Thanks for your consideration!

  13. Support for Non-english Characters in Sponsor Upload

    We have upwards of 50 sponsors we load from a spreadsheet at a time. Many of these names are in Spanish and contain non-English characters such as á, é, etc. Upon upload, Reach drops those characters in the Sponsor profiles. This leads to mispelling of the sponsor's names and needs to be manually corrected.

    We would like to ask for support to be added so that non-English characters can be included in the upload spreadsheet and display properly within Reach Admin as well as on our site.

  16. provide links to donor platforms such as Network for Good and Benevity

    A number of corporations encourage charitable giving by matching employee donations. These corporations use platforms like Benevity and Network for Good to track and disburse funds. I currently have to manually log these into REACH. A link that allows us to download these transactions into existing donor accounts would be very helpful.

  17. Set up a field for noting when a donation has been acknowledged (snail mail).

    We currently note the thank-you letters we have sent in the donation admin notes field, but if there were a specific field for that and we could get a report based on that, we could be much more efficient about this important function. Many of our bigger donors give off-line and we need to tend to them in a personalized way.

  18. Foward emails to donor records

    I have used a CRM tool in the past and they had a really nice feature. Forwarding emails (from outside of reach) into the reach donor record. It adds it's to the email address of the donor that found in reach under Activity.

  20. Provide a New Donor Report for any gift

    Donor Management is key to the success of any non-profit and acknowledging first-time donors is important. The report should include ALL new donors to the system: Campaigns, Sponsorships, Projects, Places, any avenue that someone can give to through REACH. The report should also include address, email, and gift amount.
