Revamped: Family Fund MemberBASE, donor & membership portal
The National Mikey Powell Memorial Family Fund (NMPMFF) has revamped our MemberBASE service, first introduced in July 2021, which combines contributions to the Fund with a number of extra benefits utilising the Stripe payment platform.
Visitors can register as FREE members, or be dual donor/members. ALL members have full control to manage and renew their subscriptions online. They can also book onto our events and other activities without leaving the website.
New subscriber's are auto-added to our news and events platforms, but have the option to cancel these if they choose.
The revamped donor platform gives you complete (and flexible) control over how you interact and support the work of the Fund. All of our 'Member Options' are flexible so you can dip in and out, increase or decrease your donations as you wish, and interact with other members as well as with the Memorial Family Fund staff and/or volunteers. And all in one place!
Benefits to our donors and supporters:
- Supporters can become FREE members (no donation required)
- Secure personal account showing all their activities and donations in one place
- Single or multiple donor options with no long-term commitment
- Real flexibility to adjust their donations plan if needed
and much more to come...
Benefits to the Memorial Family Fund:
- A further means of interaction with families affected by state custody deaths
- Easier management & monitoring of donors activities all in one place
- More precise and recorded data on donations to the Memorial Family Fund
- Ability to engage with donors via multiple routes such as email and text
- Reducing the workload of our staff and volunteers to aid more effective oversight
- Single access point for our administrative team members
Important Notes: If existing donors choose to use our MemberBASE option they may want to cancel any current donations in PayPal to avoid duplication.
Our standard PayPal donation method will remain available until December 2024.
