The year-end appeal, capital campaign, giving day, gala, livestream, and room appeal all need the same spine: goal, story, pledge path, QR, live total, and a report the board can trust. Alora Giving keeps them in one campaign workspace.
For live moments: code, QR, kiosk, phones, widgets, and donate pages all feed the same campaign total.
The job
Generic fundraising tools treat them all as one more form. They're not — each has its own rhythm, its own moment, and its own measure of success.
Roughly 30% of the year's giving arrives at year-end. From Giving Tuesday through December 31 — the appeal drafted early, progress tracked daily, and clean receipts ready in January.
Building funds, endowment drives, equipment funds — campaigns that run for years, not weeks, with phased milestones, multi-year pledges, and a thermometer your whole community watches rise.
A 24-hour community push with a public goal, a live tally, leaderboards, and a link your supporters share everywhere — momentum you can see by the hour.
The benefit dinner, the telethon, the auction evening — a live fundraising event with a code and QR on the screen, and the room watching the total climb together.
Run the campaign
Every campaign gets a goal, a deadline, and a visible thermometer — on the dashboard and on its own donate page. Milestones break a large goal into phases your community can celebrate, and velocity tracking tells you whether you're on pace before the campaign ends, not after.
One shared number — on the dashboard, the donate page, the kiosk idle screen, and the lobby display.
Phase one, halfway, final stretch — staged targets that turn a long campaign into moments of shared celebration.
Are we on pace for the goal? The platform answers week by week, while there's still time to act.
Gather the promises
A pledge made during a campaign is a promise your organization carries for a year — or, for a capital campaign, for several. Alora Giving tracks every one of them to completion.
Donors pledge from a phone, the donate page, or a live fundraising event — and staff can record the pledge card from the gala table. Every promise lands in the same campaign total.
Weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annual installments over one year or several — so a three-year capital pledge made in 2026 is still being kept in 2028.
Gentle email nudges before and after each installment is due, each with a one-click payment link — the donor pays the next installment in seconds. Staff are alerted too, so nothing falls through the cracks.
When payments stop, the pledge is flagged early — while a personal note from your team can still bring it back.
The live moment
The gala, the telethon, the giving-day finale. Put a 4-character code and a QR on the big screen — guests open live.aloragiving.com on their own phones, join in seconds, and watch the total climb together, in real time, in the room.

Season-aware
The platform knows every calendar your communities keep — eight calendar systems, from Gregorian and fiscal to Hebrew, Hijri, Hindu lunisolar, Buddhist, and Nanakshahi. Before each giving season opens, the AI drafts the campaign — name, copy, email subjects, a suggested goal — in your organization's voice and your community's vocabulary, whether that season is framed as tzedakah, dana, or seva. You review, adjust, and publish. Nothing auto-sends, ever.
Roughly 30% of the year's giving arrives at year-end. The Giving Tuesday push and the December appeal appear as drafts before the season — not scrambled during it.
The Hijri calendar drives the timing — the appeal is staged ahead of the month, in the community's own respectful vocabulary.
The Hebrew calendar keys the draft to Rosh Hashanah — the season of giving framed in the community's own terms.
The fiscal calendar knows your year-end — the final-quarter campaign and the board's deadline push are drafted in advance.
One total
However your supporters give — at the door, online, from their seat at the gala — every donation counts toward the same goal, and every screen shows the same live progress.
The lobby kiosk shows the campaign thermometer between donations — every walk past the front desk is a progress update. Kiosks →
Each campaign gets its own branded donate page with story, goal, and progress — share the giving.at short link in the community WhatsApp group, the link in bio, or the QR on the poster. Donate pages →
A one-line embed puts the live thermometer and quick-give on your website — progress updates without anyone touching the site. Widgets →
Lobby TVs and event-hall screens carry the same live progress — the whole venue watches the goal rise together. Signage →
When the campaign ends
When the board asks how the campaign went, the answer is already on the screen: campaign velocity against the goal, a recurring-revenue forecast for budget season, and a Giving Health Score for your giving program overall — with fund-separated reporting and clean exports.
Reporting — the questions leadership actually asks
