Modern Donors expectations have evolved.
Has your fundraising?
Traditional fundraising software repackages old models that no longer work. Village is built differently—designed from the ground up to meet modern donor expectations and help nonprofits grow.
Solutions
Modern donors want clear problems with actionable solutions. Village helps you break down big challenges into attainable goals, showing donors how they can help achieve them - one project at a time.
Connection
Modern donors don’t just want to give—they want to feel connected to the cause. Village fosters deeper engagement through video updates and impact tracking, turning one-time donors into lifelong advocates.
Specifics
Modern donors expect clarity—they want to know exactly what they’re supporting. Village breaks down broad missions into concrete projects with clear impact metrics, making every donation feel purposeful and tangible.
The building blocks of better fundraising
Village is built on four key components that make it easy to engage donors, showcase impact, and grow support. Explore each one to see how it works.
Donor Engagement is broken. Let’s fix it.
Donors Give Blindly
They donate to a general fund, unsure of exactly where their money will go.
They Wait… and Wonder
Days, weeks, months pass. No updates. They start to question if their gift made a difference.
The Only Time They Hear From You? Another Ask.
Instead of impact, they get another donation request—pushing them further away.
Impact is Buried in an Annual Report
If they’re lucky, they’ll see a vague update a year later. Too little, too late.
Engaged donors give more — and keep giving.
When donors feel connected to your cause, they don’t just give once. They give again, they give more, and they bring others with them.
Higher Retention = More Lifetime Value
32%
Donors who receive impact updates are 32% more likely to give again.
Transparency Increases Giving
30%
30% of donors say they would give more if they knew how their donation was used.
Donors Who Share Bring in More Donors
3x
Donors acquired through peer sharing are 3x more likely to give again.

It makes me feel connected ... It makes me feel as if I’m a little bit closer to it ... It makes me feel more confident in my donation ... Seeing video messages can also influence me to donate more.

... surely something other charities should use; I’m not used to seeing something like that. We stay informed about what’s going on and this will perhaps invite us to be more generous.
