With unique, personalized, and highly configurable options, we are used by all types of organizations from small nonprofits to Tier 1 universities.We unify typically disparate payment flows by serving as an end-point for online giving through websites, mobile apps, text-message giving, call centers, and credit card swipe machines. This provides for a more cohesive donor experience and simplifies internal processes, lowering the burden on fundraising and data teams.We simplify giving by allowing any organization to launch fully customized and branded giving forms in their own website in minutes with extremely streamlined giving flows.

BlueRidge Giving is a joint venture between BlueRidge Data and Custom Donations that brings to market a NextGen online giving platform and complementary giving solutions and services that support the fundraising and alumni relations efforts for Higher Education and K-12 Independent Schools.Our featured product, QuickGift, is a turnkey giving platform that delivers customizable and fully branded giving forms that embed directly in your website in minutes.
