The Challenge

What was at stake

Most small and mid-sized nonprofits rely on generic payment forms, spreadsheet-based donor tracking, and manual thank-you emails — resulting in high donor churn, low recurring giving rates, and no way to demonstrate impact to supporters. The collective wanted to build a platform that gave every nonprofit access to the sophisticated donor management and engagement tools that only large organizations with six-figure technology budgets can typically afford.

Our Approach

How we delivered

01

Conversion-Optimized Giving Experience

Designed and A/B tested donation page templates across 50+ nonprofits, identifying the optimal layouts, suggested amounts, recurring giving prompts, and impact messaging that maximize conversion. Built a customizable page builder that lets nonprofits match their brand while inheriting proven conversion patterns — resulting in an average 42% improvement in donation completion rates over their previous forms.

02

Recurring Giving & Donor Lifecycle Engine

Engineered a recurring donation system on Stripe Connect with smart retry logic for failed payments, upgrade prompts based on donor engagement signals, and anniversary/milestone communications. Built donor lifecycle automation that moves supporters through awareness, first gift, repeat giving, and major donor stages with personalized touchpoints at each transition.

03

Impact Tracking & Transparency Dashboard

Developed an impact reporting framework where nonprofits log program outcomes linked to donation dollars, and donors receive personalized impact reports showing exactly what their contributions funded. Built public-facing transparency dashboards that display financial breakdowns, program metrics, and beneficiary stories — increasing donor trust and repeat giving.

04

Multi-Tenant Platform & Nonprofit Onboarding

Architected a multi-tenant platform on Vercel with per-organization subdomains, custom branding, and isolated donor data. Built a self-service onboarding flow that gets a nonprofit from signup to live donation page in under 30 minutes, with Stripe Connect for compliant fund routing and automated 1099/tax receipt generation.

Before TPWITS, our member organizations were losing donors to clunky donation forms and a lack of follow-up. The platform they built transformed giving for 300+ nonprofits — $4.2 million processed, and recurring donors increased by 65%. The impact dashboards are a game-changer for donor retention. Small nonprofits now have tools that rival what the biggest charities use.
