Why You’ll Love Donation Recovery with Charitable

Charitable offers a simple, affordable way to automatically recover lost donations and boost your fundraising results.

Abandoned Donation Recovery

Turn Abandoned Donations Into Completed Gifts

Between 50 and 70% of donors who start a form never finish it. That’s not a small number – that’s a significant chunk of revenue walking out the door.

Donation Recovery automatically catches those moments and brings donors back. You don’t have to do anything after setup. Charitable handles every step in the background.

The donor gets a friendly, personalized email with a direct link back to their pre-filled form. One click, a few seconds to confirm, and the gift is complete.
