What's New

Aug 2026

New

Your visibility tools now show which search-ranking features are currently active on the platform, alongside your score breakdown.

Aug 2026

New

When your charity's balance is ready to pay out but no one on your team can request the disbursement, our staff now get an alert so they can help you get set up.

Aug 2026

New

The Tier Visibility Preview now shows exactly which searches find your charity — and how describing your programs (at Enhanced and up) helps more searches reach you.

Aug 2026

New

Enhanced+ profiles can now describe your programs right from your dashboard -- add up to three, and they show up in charity search within moments so supporters can find you by the work you actually do.

Aug 2026

New

You can now turn automatic payouts on or off — and choose the balance that triggers them — right from your My Account page.

Aug 2026

New

The minimum payout amount is now $8.49 (it previously showed as $10 in some places). You can set your automatic-payout amount as low as $8.49.

Aug 2026

Fixed

The tier preview is now accurate about where you'd appear: it only shows your ranking for searches your profile actually matches, instead of guessing a spot for unrelated terms.

Aug 2026

New

The tier preview now shows exactly how your search score is built -- and how many points each tier adds -- so you can see what an upgrade does before you commit.

Aug 2026

New

Your Recent Activity now shows where each redemption came from — a search for your charity, a funfunds™ gift, or your Impact Marketplace page — so you can see which of your placements are driving gifts. The same column is included when you export your transactions.

Aug 2026

Fixed

Your Visibility report now counts every time your charity appears in search results. This month's impressions could show as zero even while people were finding and clicking your listing — the appearances were being recorded, but the monthly report wasn't reading all of them.

Aug 2026

New

Your dashboard now shows exactly how your search ranking is earned - every completed profile item, the points it adds, and one-click links to fill whatever is missing.

Aug 2026

Enhanced+ Profiles

Fixed

Fixed a bug where the Donate button on your embedded website widget could lead to a "page not found" error. Widgets now always link to your donation page correctly.

Aug 2026

New

funfunds™ pages now show each charity's logo on the fund cards, and the charity picker uses the same bold logo tiles as the featured charity grid.

Aug 2026

Fixed

The gift card redemption widget now uses the full width of wider embeds and pages, so featured charity tiles display larger instead of being squeezed into a narrow column.

Aug 2026

New

Featured charity tiles above the search now show logos three times larger on clean white panels, and the grid adapts to any screen or embed size.

Aug 2026

Fixed

Your Impact Marketplace performance stats — program selections, revenue, and your most popular program — are back on your dashboard.

Aug 2026

Fixed

Fixed an outage where searching for a charity in the gift card widget could fail with an error page.

Aug 2026

Fixed

Your charity's logo now always appears whole — never cropped — everywhere it shows: catalog pages and tiles, search tiles, and funfunds™ pages. Any logo shape works; we scale it to fit.

Jun 2026

Your payment is on the move

Improved

Your Payments Dashboard now shows when a payout is on its way — with the date you requested it and a clear "processing" status — so you can see your money is moving without having to ask.

Jun 2026

Last Disbursement text fixed when payment failed

Fixed

Your dashboard no longer shows a payout that failed and was returned to your wallet as your "Last Disbursement."

May 2026

Disbursement experience improvements

New

We polished how disbursements work on your dashboard: the minimum you need before you can disburse now matches the threshold you set (and is shown consistently everywhere), the status card is clearer when your balance is $0, and disbursement amounts handle dollars and cents precisely.

May 2026

Introducing "What's New"

A little reassurance at the bottom of our emails

May 2026

A heads-up when a payout is on its way — and when it lands

New

We now flag a pending disbursement on your dashboard and let you know when your payout has been received.

May 2026

See the moment your payout account goes active

New

When you finish entering your banking details, your dashboard now confirms your payout account is active right away — and gives clearer guidance if something still needs your attention. There's also a "Refresh status" button so you can re-check on the spot.

May 2026

Your dashboard updates in real time

New

Your balance, incoming funds, and payout activity now update on your Payments Dashboard automatically — no need to refresh the page to see the latest.

Your logo, front and center

New

Charities that share a logo now have it appear on their branded pages — a more recognizable experience for your supporters.

May 2026

Friendlier, clearer emails from us

Improved

We've reworded the emails we send you so it's clear the money is yours to receive, with buttons that take you straight to what you need to do.

May 2026

Request a payout right from your dashboard

New

You can now request a disbursement of your available funds directly from the Payments Dashboard, with clear, consistent wording throughout.

May 2026

See your visibility tier on your dashboard

New

Your Payments Dashboard now shows your charity's visibility tier and how to boost it.

May 2026

Clearer prompts when a document needs another look

Improved

If a document needs to be re-uploaded, your registration now makes that request clear instead of leaving you guessing.

May 2026

Faster on-demand payouts

Improved

If your account is set to on-demand payouts, you no longer have to wait out a cooldown period between requests.

May 2026

Know at a glance when you're ready to be paid

New

Your dashboard now shows whether you're ready to receive a payout — and if not, exactly what's left to do.

May 2026

A cleaner activity view

Improved

Added an option to hide internal reconciliation entries so your transaction history shows just the activity that matters to you, with clearer labels.

May 2026

Download your payout history

New

You can now view and export your disbursement details, with the export trimmed to just the information that's relevant to you.

May 2026

More accurate totals on your dashboard

Fixed

We corrected how your "Total Received" and "Total Disbursed" figures are calculated, so the numbers on your dashboard match your actual activity.
