Reflecting on a Year of Success: A Letter from The Aimly Fundraising Team

Dear Aimly Goal Getters,

As we approach the end of this remarkable year, we find ourselves filled with gratitude and a sense of accomplishment. This letter is a heartfelt reflection on the journey we've shared, a few of the milestones we've celebrated, and the exciting path that lies ahead for fundraising with Aimly in 2024.

Celebrating 2023 Milestones

You asked, we listened: In 2023, our community-driven approach led to the development of more than 10 features that not only met but exceeded your expectations. Three game-changing fundraising features included our expanded sharing options, leaderboards, and donor boards!

1. The Share Feature: Making Sharing Effortless

Our Share feature emerged as a game-changer, allowing you to spread the word about your fundraising events with just a few quick clicks. Now, sharing your event page link, creating pre-written messages for social media, emails, and text messages, and effortlessly sharing on Instagram with customizable templates have become a reality.

2. Leaderboards and Donor Boards: Enhancing the Fundraising Experience for Everyone

For Team Leaders, Team Members, and Donors alike, the Leaderboards and Donor Boards transformed the fundraising landscape. These enabled real-time tracking for Team Leaders, friendly competition and motivation for Team Members, and enhanced satisfaction for Donors by seeing the impact of their contributions instantly.

Our Journey Together

Aimly is more than a fundraising platform: We believe our success is intertwined with the strength of our community, and express our deepest gratitude for your trust and support. 

We pride ourselves on being a small black owned business built by real people to help real people achieve their fundraising goals with ease. We know how challenging fundraising can be, which is why we aim to go above and beyond for each and every member of the Aimly community. 

One of my favorite messages shared about Aimly was  by Kristen of the The Cheer Mom blog, who had this to say about us:

“Their chips are amazingly delicious and their website is awesome, but Aimly goes above and beyond, more than any other fundraising company that I’ve seen. They don’t just give you a link to share, they offer free coaching sessions to help you maximize your fundraising efforts. They even have specific tips, just for cheer teams!”

Not only do your words mean the world to us, but we use them to help us shape Aimly into a top fundraising platform.

Looking Ahead to 2024

The number one request we received this year was for more content on utilizing digital tools for effective fundraising. In 2024, expect valuable insights in our blogs, newsletters, and social media to maximize your fundraising efficiency.

Happy New Year, and Cheers to Aiming High and Raising Easily!
