Embed Video on Your Fundraising Pages; New Giving Page Metrics; More Vision Dinner Host Tools; and More!

This release is about telling your story and understanding how it performs. Here are some of the things we’ve completed in this release:

  • added the ability to embed a video on Giving Pages, Peer-to-Peer campaigns, and Participant Fundraising Pages

  • introduced summary metrics at the top of every Giving Page so you can see campaign performance at a glance

  • gave Participants control over their own page title and banner image

  • improved the Add Guest option for the Vision Dinner Group Host Manager

  • clarified registrant terminology and counts throughout Manage Registrants

Tell Your Story with Video

Storytelling is one of the most effective ways to inspire generosity, and now you can bring your video directly into the giving experience. You can embed a YouTube or Vimeo video on your Giving Pages, Peer-to-Peer campaign pages, and Participant Fundraising Pages — no more sending donors off to another site to watch your appeal.

Admins add a video by pasting its URL while creating or editing a Giving Page. The video appears on the public page in 16:9, in the same position your banner image would normally occupy. If you have both a video and a banner image, the video takes precedence — and if the video link is ever broken, your banner image displays instead, so your page never looks unfinished. Videos are mobile friendly and never autoplay.

Participants can do the same for their own fundraising pages from the Participant Portal, adding a personal video appeal to friends and family. Admins can view and edit a participant’s video link as well. Video embedding is available on every type of Giving Page except the Easy Hosted Giving Page.

More Insight and Control Over Your Giving Pages

Every Giving Page now opens with summary metrics at the top of the Details page, so you can tell how a campaign is performing without running a report. You’ll see a progress meter whenever the page has a goal, plus widgets for one-time gifts, recurring gifts, new donors, and recurring donors. This applies to every Giving Page you’ve ever created, regardless of which template it started from.

The Fundraisers tab on Peer-to-Peer Giving Pages now has an Export CSV option. The export includes each fundraiser’s name and email alongside amounts raised, promised, and collected, their goal, progress percentage, created date, and status — everything you need to pull your participants into an email tool and encourage a final push toward the goal.

Choosing a template is easier too. Giving > New Page now includes a view toggle: stay in the familiar card view, or switch to List View to compare every template side by side in a single table before you decide.

Participants Can Personalize Their Own Pages

Participant Fundraising Pages now support a custom Page Title and Hero/Banner Image, both editable by the participant when they create or edit their page. Neither field is required. If a participant leaves the title blank, the page still displays a sensible default — their name, or their team name if they’ve created a team.

These fields are available on every Peer-to-Peer-style page, including past and future Peer-to-Peer for Event, Birthday Fundraiser, Sponsorship, and Baby Bottle Campaign pages. Admins can view and edit both from Manage the P2P Giving Page > Fundraisers > Edit Page.

Better Tools for Vision Dinner Hosts

The Group Host Manager now includes an Add Guest action. Selecting it takes the host straight into the public registration flow with their own name already selected in the Select my host dropdown, so they can register a guest on the spot. Sending individual or bulk invitations instead is still one click away under Invite Guest.

The Groups & Hosts report has been rebuilt around the host-guest relationship. Each row shows a host’s full name, phone, email, and registrant count, and expands to reveal the guests registered under them with their own contact details — so you can follow up with individuals directly from the report. Guests who haven’t been assigned to a host appear in an Ungrouped Registrants row at the bottom, making it easy to spot registrations that still need attention.

Clearer, More Reliable Registration Management

Registrant terminology and counts on the Manage Registrants page are now consistent and easy to verify. The Registered Guest tab is now Registrants, and Cancelled Guest is now Cancelled Registrants. Each of the All, Completed, and Incomplete filters displays its own count, the Completed and Incomplete counts add up to the All count, and the header count updates as you change filters. 

These changes apply to every event template except Vision Dinner events, which keep their current behavior. 

Update to Invitations: Link now goes to the Public Event Page

Finally, the Complete Registration link in general invitations sent from the Send Invitation tool now lands invitees on your public event page rather than the guest-only registration page. For non-Vision Dinner events with bundle options enabled, invitees see the same Host and Guest registration choices as anyone else visiting your page directly would see. Links sent from the Group Host Manager and links for Vision Dinner events are unchanged.

Miscellaneous Bug Fixes and Improvements

  • Sidebar “Register Person” Enhancements: Made enhancements to the admin Register Person option, including for non-public tickets and table selections.

  • “Person Added to Group” Email: Hosts are now notified when a guest joins their group, whether the guest was assigned, sent a registration link, added through Fill in Details, selected the host during registration, or emailed from the Group Host Manager.

  • Affiliations on Host Registration Links: The affiliation dropdown now populates correctly on registration links sent from Host Manager and Manage Registrants for non-Vision Dinner events.

  • Sponsor transactions now appear in the Payments > Payouts dashboard the same way every other transaction type does, with a View Transactions link to the associated records. Sponsor payouts no longer show N/A for transaction quantity.
