[GUEST POST] 4 Design Capabilities to Look for in Your Peer-to-Peer Fundraising Software
When you’re looking for software to support your peer-to-peer fundraising campaigns online, it’s important to consider the software’s design capabilities. Depending on your budget and your staff’s technical knowledge, you may want software that offers easy-to-use templates, or you may want as much flexibility as possible to create your own designs.
Here are some design capabilities to think about as you evaluate peer-to-peer fundraising software platforms for your nonprofit: Read More
Paperless Registration
Eliminate Paper and Save Hours on Post Peer-to-Peer Event Reconciliation
Setting the scene:
So you’ve just completed a successful peer-to-peer event (congratulations!) and naturally you’re completely drained. The night before your event was a late night of last-minute event prep, course setup, volunteer organizing and restless sleep. And as race morning goes, the alarm clock went off well before the sun.
Union’s Tech Replacing Real-Life Engagement?
How to Use Tech to Enhance Your Union’s Member-to-Member Engagement by Connecting Online and Offline Organizing
In response to the recent Janus decision, Unions have had to examine the way they approach both maintaining their current members and adding new ones. Many unions are looking to tech as a way to make this process more efficient and effective. As new members keep getting younger, and smartphone ownership and social media involvement continue to rise, union members are starting to expect a way to organize online with the click of a button. Although this is a big change from what unions looked like even a decade ago, it seems like this shift might be for the better.
A Custom Out-Of-The-Box Solution
What do you think of when you hear, “out-of-the-box”? An example that may come to mind is our personal cell phones. They come in a box, ready to use but we have to configure them; add SIM cards, login to our email accounts, download all our necessary apps. But how nice would it be if your personal cell phone came to your door already configured to you and your needs as a “custom out-of-the-box solution”?
Just like people, your organization is unique, there is no other like it. So why should your mobile solution for your next campaign or fundraising event be like all the rest? It doesn’t have to be! Grassroots Unwired has developed a solution that will ensure a mobile application, tailored to your organizations specific needs, is installed on an Android tablet (with 4G data service) and delivered to your doorstep the day your campaign or fundraising event kicks off.
According to Cargas, “Custom solutions offer businesses with highly specialized issues an opportunity to overcome even the most overwhelming obstacles“. Reach out to us today to learn about how we can help your organization overcome even the most overwhelming obstacles with our custom out of the box solution.
Team Mission
As a startup, we are constantly developing our tech and growing our team to support it. Our intern recently posted the following questions on the conference room wall, handed out post-its, and asked the team to anonymously place our answers underneath each question. The team’s responses were overwhelming and speak volumes about who we are as a company.
This exercises clearly demonstrates that our team upholds the same values that led our CEO to start this company; justice, integrity, serving the greater good, and above all else, reliable tech.

Blackbaud Integration
A Grassroots Unwired, we started with a simple principle: Technology can and should create a social impact: grow a constituent base, raise more money, advocate for a cause, and most importantly, be mobile.
The Problem
Tools geared towards non-profits only focus on the online or CRM space. There were no tools that help non-profits reach donors where they are, until now.
The Solution
A mobile first tool for face to face advocacy:
- GPS-enabled, real-time, data collection tool
- Robust scripting options
- PCI compliant card swipes
- Unique integrations with social and digital
- Features built specifically to support face to face efforts
New Feature: Nearest Neighbor Lookup
Grassroots Unwired has a released a new feature that we believe changes the game in helping your organization gain new supporters and it’s called Nearest Neighbor Lookup.
There is nothing more powerful than additional validation when it comes to getting new supporters to donate to your organization. When you knock on a potential supporters door, how do you let them know about others around them who have already joined your cause?
Grassroots Unwired goes on tour
As a major band’s concert tour kicked off in Vancouver in May, then continued to travel through the US, Europe and South America, the ONE Campaign, the campaigning, and advocacy organization of nearly eight million people around the world, has been setting up shop at stadiums across North America to generate support from concertgoers in the fight against extreme poverty and preventable disease. To facilitate the actions taken by concertgoers, ONE has been traveling with the Grassroots Unwired mobile platform!
Concertgoers are asked their country of origin and based on their response are presented with a digital letter or petition that they are asked to sign. ONE loaded 13 different letters into the app and using GRU’s randomization technology, ensures that there are a variety of messages being delivered. We even give them the ability to customize each letter by allowing people to write a personal message within the text of the letter.
Those letters are then sent to a member of the U.S. Senate or another public official and all the data is added to the ONE’s ActionKit instance in real time.
ONE is dedicated to making a real difference around the globe and we couldn’t be prouder that they are using our tech to make their work more efficient and effective.
