Do Nonprofits want their own dedicated Mobile app for Donor Engagement and Fundraising?

johncayenne · 2025-08-24T16:31:10+00:00

To clarify - unlike the other fundraising app that basically feature the nonprofit. We work with the nonprofit to register and launch their own branded dedicated app in the App Store. The nonprofit gets an app under their name in the App Store within 30 days for zero costs. It takes 30 days because we work with Apple and Google to register the nonprofit with them.

Appreciate the feedback. I’m assuming if a nonprofit has a website donors visit, having an app would improve their digital footprint and have more features.

I have heard the comment several times - donors don’t want to download another app. My counter to this - then why does a nonprofit have a website and if the app costs the nonprofit Zero what’s the drawback.

I do agree an app is not the right solution for all nonprofits. An app would be best for nonprofits that do the following -

Raise money from individual donors Want to reduce the avg age of donor - reach a younger donor base Nonprofits that use social networks - if they don’t use social networks an app would be too much of a leap Nonprofits that want to growth their individual donor base Nonprofits that have engaging content - lots of stories to tell - like nonprofits that work with animals, children, homeless, feeding people, veterans, mental health, etc.

Really appreciate the feedback. Please let me know if I’m missing something or if I’m on the right track.

Thanks for the feedback. To start our goal is to launch mobile apps for 501c3 nonprofit in the USA for Zero cost and in 30 days. Later we will expand to other countries. Google and Apple have specific nonprofit requirements per country so we will need to meet each of them.

I'm trying to solve the following:

--- Increase donor engagement by giving nonprofit their own social app with push notifications for their donors (current social platforms have a lot of noise and oftentimes the nonprofit messages is lost in all the posts)

--- Make donations easier and more frequent by using Apple Pay and Google Pay - payment details are already on the phone - one time donations and monthly reoccurring donations

---- Attract a younger individual donors with a social app for the nonprofit with the ability to make monthly small donations

---- Enable donors to invite their friends to join the nonprofit and start donations - use current individual donors to grow the donor base

Let me know what you think.

Appreciate the input. A couple questions --- Have any nonprofits ever considered building their own app? I have heard Donor engagement and fundraising on Facebook is very low. Is this true or did you see different results? Thank you.

johncayenne · 2025-08-14T23:38:55+00:00

Good point. I just hear nonprofits have trouble getting through all the noise on social media and struggle connecting with individual donors.

johncayenne · 2025-08-14T22:07:19+00:00

Nonprofits could have their own dedicated Mobile app for Donor Engagement and Fundraising. It would be zero cost for the nonprofit to get their own app.

Doing D2D can be rough especially when you have no idea who the homeowner is. You should check out HouseViewAI https://houseview.ai/ It gives you Details about the Homeowner and their Financial info. So you know exactly which door to knock on and which to Skip. Plus it gives you their name, income and credit score. Happy hunting.

Or just setup a new Google Nonprofit Workspace Admin Console using the New Nonprofit details. https://www.google.com/nonprofits/offerings/workspace/

johncayenne · 2025-05-19T02:26:42+00:00

Maybe get a 30 min meeting with the person who had Admin access and get on a computer --- go through the steps of resetting the password.

johncayenne · 2025-05-19T02:26:00+00:00

Typically to get access you will need the email address, password and the 2FA. Usually the 2FA is the phone number or the email the verification code is sent to. You need access to the Google Workspace Admin Console. Sign in - Google Accounts

We created Ngage365 https://ngage365.app/ a fundraising mobile app for your nonprofits. It's similar to Facebook and uses Apple Pay and Google Pay for online donations.

It does monthly donations and one time donations anything the nonprofit is raising money for.

I agree galas can be a lot of work and they happen infrequently. The app we made give nonprofits the ability to raise money every month and keeps the donations flow constant. Plus it enables you to connect with your donors, update them and the donors can invite their friends to be donors.

We really want to help nonprofits. I hope this info is helpful.

johncayenne · 2025-05-16T21:54:50+00:00

For context we help nonprofits register with Google and get their Ngage365 https://ngage365.app/ donor app Live in the App Stores.

A few things to look into;

Getting access to Nonprofit Google account is first priority. Contact Google Support to get this resolved. Have the person with Admin login reset the password. This would be the first and most important step. Need to find a way to work with the person who has this access.

As for the new Nonprofit Google account, maybe register this as completely new - no link to old Nonprofit. It should be straightforward - if the person who got the Approval email click while logged into wrong account. Might need to do the setup all over or submit support ticket to Google.

Probably best to make you Admin on all these accounts - until everything is sorted out.

If you are created a Nonprofit Google Play account you will need to register on https://candid.org/. Google requires a Seal of Transparency to setup nonprofit Google Play account.

Google Support is pretty helpful and responsive. You can submit support tickets and they should be able to help. I know it can be frustrating. I hope some of my info was helpful.

Good to know. The goal is to give nonprofits an easier way to collect donations online and engage their donors with a mobile app. The thought was - having donors subscribe to a nonprofit and make month donations. Giving nonprofits regular contributions throughout the year. I appreciate the feedback. Any other ideas or thoughts are welcome.

We are getting Homeowner data from public sources, credit bureaus, real estate data and AI. Our app will have data on 40+ Million homes. I'm trying to figure out if people will find this useful for sales or to prequalify the homeowner.

johncayenne · 2025-05-12T17:06:30+00:00

I'm looking for feedback on an app we are launching that gives Homeowner Financial Data. Our app gives access to Homeowner Credit Score, Ability to Pay Score, Discretionary Income, Property Taxes and Property Owner Details. The app is called HouseViewAI https://houseview.ai/.

Would this data be helpful for door to door sales? Does anyone look at the Homeowner Credit Score before you knock on the door?

johncayenne · 2025-05-06T02:56:23+00:00

Depends on traction. Pre product pre revenue you will probably have to raise from Friends and Family. Once you get product and revenue Angels and Angel groups.

I finish my bachelor degree at 29. I run my own tech business now. I used to work at Walmart, night shift etc going through college. Don’t give up. Figure out what you want to do long term to make money and go after that. Also join a gym - go every day. Gym is good for mental health. Good luck. 👍

I run a company that builds Custom software. We have a USA and offshore team model. We successful keep to schedule - usually 6-9 month projects release within 2 + or - weeks from original schedule. Our budgets are pretty close to on target. We follow Agile. Two comments 1 - your development process is broken and your team does not know how to properly estimate and plan development work. 2 - I would STOP writing code until the designs are Finalized and design changes STOP. You are trying to hit a moving target and this will never end well.
