What’s New in CharityEngine: April 2025 Product Enhancements

Written by Meliha Zekovic | Mon, Apr 28, 2025

This month’s updates are all about making your fundraising forms more dynamic and your events easier to manage. Whether you’re planning a major event or building your next donation form, these improvements are here to save you time and boost results. 

Introducing the Recent Donations Display 

Seeing others donate can spark action—research shows that social proof can boost conversion rates by up to 29%.  

With our new Recent Donations Display, you can showcase real-time donor activity directly on your forms and landing pages. Every name, every gift displayed helps build excitement, trust, and momentum, encouraging more supporters to join in. 

Tip: Leverage the Recent Donations Display during active campaigns or live fundraising events. When donor activity is high, showcasing recent gifts builds excitement and encourages even more participation, helping you turn momentum into greater impact. 

Event Roster & Seating Report for Easier Planning 

Planning your next big event just got a whole lot simpler. 

Our new Roster & Seating Report gives you a complete, organized view of your guest list by table and seat assignment—no more wrestling with spreadsheets or guessing who’s sitting where. With a clear picture of your seating plan, you can create a welcoming, thoughtfully arranged experience for every attendee. 

And if something changes? No problem. You can now adjust a guest’s seat assignment directly from their registration record, making updates quick and seamless without needing to start over. 

Tip: Use the Roster & Seating Report to strategically seat donors based on relationships, interests, or sponsorship levels. Smart seating can boost networking, event satisfaction, and future giving. 

Drag-and-Drop Reordering for Form Fields 

Building and editing forms just got faster—and a lot more intuitive. 

Now you can drag and drop fields to rearrange your form layout instantly, without the tedious click-by-click adjustments of the past. 
This makes it easier than ever to design clear, user-friendly donation forms, event registrations, and volunteer signups that flow exactly the way you want. 

Tip: When building forms, group related fields together (like contact info, then payment info) and keep forms short whenever possible. A cleaner, more logical flow keeps supporters moving smoothly to completion. 

These enhancements are designed to save you time, drive more engagement, and make every event and campaign even more successful. 

We can’t wait to see how you put these new tools to work—and as always, thanks for helping us make CharityEngine better every month!
