Papilia Announces The Great Fundraising Buy-Out Program
Online Fundraising and Communications Pioneer To Provide Solution For Nonprofits Currently Under Contract With Inflexible Fundraising Tools And Services


Papilia, a pioneer in online fundraising and communication solutions for nonprofits, today announced The Great Fundraising Buy-out Program. The program is being launched specifically to assist nonprofits currently under long-term contracts—and suffering with technology challenges, delay in professional services, and hidden charges for essential features.

The Great Fundraising Buy-out Program allows organizations to sign-up for Papilia and leverage the simplest and most powerful online fundraising and communication solution available, but without a long-term contract, an increase in resources, lengthy time-to-deploy, or hidden services costs. By signing-up, any nonprofit under contract with Convio, Kintera, Blackbaud NetCommunity and others will receive a credit towards the purchase of Papilia for the full amount remaining on their agreement.

“It’s been a very interesting year in online fundraising and communications, with mergers leading to products being discontinued, and long back-ups for professional services. Nonprofits shouldn’t have to suffer as their vendors figure out how to merge with each other,” said Natasha Deganello Giraudie, chief executive officer at Papilia. “ With the launch of the Great Fundraising Buy-out Program, nonprofits of all sizes—and with any provider—can escape long-term contracts and complicated solutions, and reach out to their donors with Papilia: the simplest and most powerful online fundraising and communications solution available today.”

“Using Papilia for online fundraising and communication is like striking gold,” said Freud Reia, IT Director at the Museum of the African Diaspora (MoAD) and ex-Convio User. “The advantage Papilia has over all the other solutions on the market is its seamless set-up, smooth deployment and ease-of-use. Any organization looking to quickly and cost-effectively drive more donations from their online efforts, I recommend they try Papilia; they deliver.”

Papilia provides online fundraising and communication solutions to nonprofits in a variety of sectors, including: Arts, Human Services, Healthcare and Relief Services, among others. All of Papilia’s services are built on patented technology, and are deployed as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) to enable seamless integration and ease of deployment for today’s resource-constrained nonprofits. Papilia’s solutions help its customers engage and retain their donors through consistent, personalized communications without the need for complicated training or technical background, requiring only a standard web browser and an internet connection to use the service. Papilia is offered on a quarter-to-quarter basis, and no long-term contract is required. Additionally, all of Papilia’s solutions come with the added benefit of a dedicated Client Services Manager for deployment, strategy, and ongoing tactical planning and support.
