Fundraising Performance

At the top of the page, you’ll see Fundraising Performance for your group over the last seven days

• Total dollars raised
• One-time dollars raised
• Recurring dollars raised
• Contributions
• Avg. contribution
• % via mobile device
• % ActBlue Express donors

 Hover over the bars, which represent dollars raised, to see a breakdown for that particular day. 

You can change the timeframe for your Fundraising Performance numbers and graph. You can either click the dropdown and choose from different timeframe options or enter the exact start and end dates of a custom timeframe you need. Then click the “Filter date” button.

Recent Contributions

The Recent Contributions module lists your five most recent contributions: donor name, amount, location, contribution type, and time since the contribution. Click on the donor’s name to view more details, including the ActBlue order number and donor’s email. 

Top Forms

This module lists your highest-raising forms for the selected time frame so you can determine what messages are resonating with your donors.

Disbursements

The Disbursements module summarizes your most recent disbursement and your upcoming one.

1. Your latest disbursement: the check or wire number, net total, and date of the most recent disbursement you’ve received from us. You can click on the check or wire number for a detailed breakdown of the disbursement and to download the donor data.
2. Your next disbursement: the pending net total of your next disbursement, and your disbursement schedule.

If you have a Stripe account, this module is called “Payouts.”

Recurring

The Recurring module projects your total number of recurring contributions for the next 30 days and the total income from those contributions. Click on the link to view a retention chart for your recurring program. 

Donor Statistics

In the Donor Statistics module, you can view the number of unique and first-time donors gained over a given timeframe, and the percentage that came from your state. 

Form Breakdown

The Form Breakdown module displays the various form types your donors are using and how much money is coming from each:

1. Forms you manage: donations that come through forms managed through your ActBlue account
2. Donor Dashboard: contributions made directly from a donor’s ActBlue Express dashboard
3. Forms managed by other organizations: fundraising done by other organizations through a Tandem form
4. Forms managed by your supporters: donations made through supporter forms
