FundraiseCall turns any room into a fundraising call center. Volunteers sign in on an iPad and start calling donors right away: no computers, no phone lines, no wires, nothing to install. Built for radiothons, telethons, phonathons and giving days. Hospital foundations, schools and charities use it to run a phone room for a day, a week or a whole campaign. FOR VOLUNTEERS • One tap to call the next donor, with the donor's details on screen during the call. • Notes from your team next to the call, and room for your own notes. • Record the result in one tap: donated, will donate, call back, not interested, wrong number. • Enter the donation without leaving the app. Your organization's donation page opens over the call, and on supported donation platforms the donor's name and contact details are filled in for you. • Send the donation link by text or email when the donor prefers to give later. • Donors who call back ring straight through to the iPad, even when the app is closed. • Call history and a dial pad for manual calls. • Works on iPad and iPhone. FOR ORGANIZERS • Upload your donor list and assign it to your callers. • Calls show your organization's phone number, and donors who call back reach your team. • Follow the campaign as it happens: calls made, time on the phone, donations and callbacks. • Set up a new event in minutes. AN ACCOUNT IS REQUIRED FundraiseCall is used by organizations running a fundraising campaign. To sign in, you need a caller account from your organization's FundraiseCall administrator.
