Ability to send updates to donors and post them on the campaign pages.

I agree this would be a great feature to help us stay in touch with our donors and keep them coming back and sharing the campaigns. Here were some thoughts I had shared via emai...
Maybe tab next to stories, similar to Kickstarter. Donors can opt-in to be notified of campaign updates via text or email. Have a number badge to indicate how many updates there are. Maybe include a FAQ tab (or option to add additional custom tabs, like "About Habitat"). 
I like your idea of automatic updates based on % raised, but would also want to be able to send custom updates - not just as we fundraise, but also after to share how the funds have been used.

@Mark Rummel: Great ideas, Mark, thanks for sharing. We are in the process of planning out some of these additions, so very timely!

Max Friedman

We are considering a new feature called "Campaign Subscribers" and adding an automated series of updates, such as:

Campaign reached 25%, 50%, 75, 90%, 100% of goal
Member-specific updates based on who you donated to
Donation-specific updates based on others' likes and comments
And more... comment your ideas!

Admins, members, donors, invites, and imported lists would all be automatically subscribed to campaigns.

All other Campaign Updates could then be posted directly to Campaigns and automatically sent to all Campaign Subscribers.

@Max Friedman: where is this feature at? Any updates?

Liran Cohen

@Shai Perednik: Hi Shai - Unfortuantely we don't have a concrete timeline yet for this feature, but it is something we plan on building in the next couple of months.

@Liran Cohen: this is honestly disappointing. I should have done more research. We switched to givebutter from GoFundMe. After a lot of research and reading through all your vs blog givebutter seemed the superior platform. I didn't think a basic feature like donor updates wouldn't be there.

I hope something motivates the givebutter team to release an mvp version or something to give us some sort of donor communications.

Liran Cohen

@Shai Perednik: Completely understand the frustration with this. We've already moved this up our priority list, so I'm hoping to share a more concrete update in the near future. As always we appreciate the feedback.
