Furthermore, users will appreciate easy reconciliation and reporting without any manual data entry. This is what fundraiser’s dreams (and Donate2!) are made of.

“Everyone at the Boston Symphony Orchestra is grateful and loves Donate2. We’re getting more unique gifts via Donate2 than our website,” says Michael Moore, Associate Director of Marketing Insights. “Over 50% of the donations from Donate2 are from first time donors, and our average donation amount so far is about $105.”

“We continue to find new ways to fuse Donate2 with all of our Marketing and Fundraising efforts.  As we move forward, we are excited to work with the team at L2 Interactive on the next stage of new product features and integrations between Donate2, Prospect2 and Tessitura, “ adds Michael.

“At Seattle Children’s Theatre we are thrilled with the way L2 has solved one of the biggest obstacles in giving — making it easy. For years we have heard complaints from donors as they have struggled through clunky giving portals, but with Donate2 the experience is seamless. The donor is able to give in a click or two, and the Tessitura backend is as easy as if they had logged it in directly themselves.” said Kevin Malgesini, Managing Director.

“At Seattle Children’s Theatre we are thrilled... With Donate2 the experience is seamless.”
