One of the most impactful improvements we introduced is the set of new automated recurring giving alerts. These alerts can have a direct effect on donor retention by addressing payment issues before they cause donors to disengage.
These emails alert donors when action is needed and directs them to their donor accounts where those updates can be made.

At 4aGoodCause, we pride ourselves on stability, which led us to the next announcement: a deep dive into error logs to ensure a smooth experience for users.
Known as Kaizen—the Japanese concept of continuous improvement—this process is all about making small tweaks to improve your overall experience.
Although some of these fixes may seem small, they ensure that the platform stays robust and ready for donors.
We added several new stats that make it easier to monitor the health of your monthly giving program—right from the dashboard.
If you have a monthly giving program (which we strongly recommend!), you’ll love these new metrics.
Do you know how much you can expect to bring in through your monthly givers each month? Now, with Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR), you can. This key metric shows the total income you can count on each month from active donors, helping you better forecast and plan.
On the subscription front, you’ll now have a clearer understanding of which donations are successfully processing vs. those that require your attention.
Subscriptions marked as flagged need your attention due to a missed payment or an almost expired card.
By staying on top of flagged subscriptions, you can reduce churn and keep donors engaged.
Statistics show that recurring donors, on average, have a retention rate of 83%, but with focused attention and stewardship, you can push that even higher.
Two new metrics we are tracking include:
Increasing these numbers mean greater donor loyalty and increased revenue.
