Additional Gifts

Make it easy for sponsors to give more

Additional Gifts make it easy for existing sponsors to give beyond their regular commitment. Enable birthday gifts, holiday gifts, back-to-school contributions, or one-time add-ons that go directly to their sponsored recipient. Automated reminders based on recipient birthdays and holidays prompt sponsors at the right moment, and all additional gifts are tracked separately in reports.

The Problem

Without a simple way to give additional gifts, sponsors who want to do more for their recipient face a clunky process of contacting your office, and many simply do not bother -- leaving revenue on the table.

The Solution

With HYS Additional Gifts, sponsors give birthday and holiday gifts in a few clicks from their portal, prompted by automated reminders that arrive at exactly the right time.

How it works

1

Enable gift types

Configure which additional gift types are available -- birthday gifts, holiday gifts, school supplies, one-time extras -- and set suggested amounts for each.

2

Automated reminders

The system sends sponsors reminders before their recipient's birthday or program-defined holidays, making giving effortless.

3

Track and report

All additional gifts are tracked separately from regular sponsorship payments, with full reporting on gift types, totals, and trends.

How this feeds Aida's work queue

Every additional gifts signal becomes an owned, reviewed action on your team's queue

In HelpYouServe, the context this captures lives on one record and rolls up into Aida's daily queue. Aida, your AI Development Director, turns it into an owned next action with a deadline, prepares the next step in your voice with citations, and your team reviews and approves before anything goes out. Aida adds development capacity, she does not replace your team.

HelpYouServe is the platform underneath: donor records, giving pages, sponsorships, communications, reporting, tasks, approvals, and audit history on one system.
