Understanding Leaderboards

Feature Overview: Leaderboards

Leaderboards are a dynamic tool designed to enhance engagement and foster friendly competition during Giving Day events. By showcasing real-time rankings of participating organizations based on key fundraising metrics, Leaderboards can motivate participants to amplify their outreach efforts and inspire donors to contribute generously.

Leaderboards display up-to-date standings of organizations participating in a Giving Day, ranked by metrics such as:

• Dollars Raised

• Number of Donors

• Number of Gifts

These rankings are prominently featured on the Giving Day homepage and dedicated pages, providing visibility and recognition to top-performing organizations. They are refreshed frequently, ensuring the displayed statistics remain current throughout the Giving Day. This near real-time updating allows organizations and supporters to monitor progress and adjust their strategies promptly.

Utilizing this feature can help:

• Boost Motivation: Real-time rankings encourage organizations to intensify their fundraising efforts to climb the leaderboard.
  ​

• Enhance Engagement: Donors are more likely to contribute when they see their favorite organizations striving to reach the top.
  ​

• Promote Transparency: Publicly displayed metrics build trust among donors by showcasing the impact of their contributions.
  ​

• Facilitate Recognition: Top-ranking organizations gain increased visibility, which can attract new supporters and additional funding opportunities.

Feature Availability

Leaderboards are accessible to all organizations participating in a Giving Day hosted on GiveGab. Administrators can view and manage their standings through their organization's profile, while Giving Day hosts can configure leaderboard settings via their Partner Dashboard.
