How to Keep Donors Engaged When the Economy Tightens with Aarika Riddle

TL;DR

  • Virtuous Raise AI Page Builder helps you create complete donation pages by describing what you want in plain language.
  • A built-in Knowledge Base teaches the AI about your mission, programs, and brand voice, so every page reflects your organization’s unique voice.
  • Purpose-built Modules create professionally structured fundraising experiences based on nonprofit best practices.
  • An integrated AI Chat lets you refine pages through conversation instead of making manual edits.

Building a Donation Page Just Got Easier…and Faster

When your donors land on your donation page, they might not think twice about the amount of time that went into just that one giving form. 

But we all know how it feels to spend hours piecing together a donation page that both feels like your nonprofit and drives more donations. 

Someone has to write the copy. Choose the layout. Gather images. Build giving tiers. Add trust elements. Review messaging. Collect stakeholder feedback. Make revisions. Then repeat the process until everyone signs off.

Even with a powerful page builder, creating a polished online giving experience can take hours or even days.

With Virtuous Raise AI Page Builder, you can create stunning donation pages in minutes. 

You can see it in action in the video below.

In this episode of The Responsive Lab, hosts Carly Berna and Scott Holthaus are joined by Aarika Riddle, Executive Director of Kristi Yamaguchi’s Always Dream, for a conversation about leading through uncertainty, stewarding well in challenging moments, and grounding your work in mission when fatigue sets in.

Aarika shares lessons from navigating multiple economic downturns in her fundraising career, including the 2008 recession and recent years of uncertainty. She gets tactical about the basics that still work (thank-you notes, stewardship, donor storytelling), how to personalize at scale using simple tools, and why leadership energy makes or breaks team morale.
