Donor notification settings that keep supporter communication clear

Use donor notification settings to control receipts, donor updates, recurring notices, and follow-up messages with campaign and supporter context.

Donor notification settings shape what supporters hear after they give, update a recurring plan, abandon checkout, or return to their donor portal. Those messages need to be timely, accurate, and respectful of donor preferences.

OpenFundraise keeps notification settings connected to receipts, recurring giving, donor records, and campaign context so communication feels coordinated instead of scattered across separate tools.

The problem

Donor communication gets messy when settings are scattered

Supporters lose trust when receipts, recurring notices, and follow-up messages are inconsistent.

Teams waste time checking several systems to understand which donor messages are enabled.

Campaign-specific follow-up is harder when notification rules are disconnected from donor and gift context.
