Salam, it's Maria!
In all of my years in the LaunchGood community, I can feel the team energy shift as Ramadan approaches. Across continents and time zones, through Slack and Gather, the LaunchGood team is working tirelessly to maximize the Ummah’s giving opportunities this Ramadan.
Through your confidence and support, we are back for Ramadan 1444 with much-loved features like the Ramadan Challenge, including Automated Giving. The new name for Automated Giving is Scheduled Giving. We want to make sure that donating remains a meaningful and intentional act of ibadah, and Scheduled Giving is a great way to keep it top of mind for donors.
You can create your giving schedule to:
- Donate for all 30 days or for the last 10 days only.
- Choose campaigns, or let us choose for you!
- Change the amount any time - we get that many supporters like to give more during the last 10 days!
And if you're looking for a little extra motivation, we've also brought back the leaderboards, with daily prizes up for grabs! We're hoping to see some friendly competition as we all strive to do more good, just like the sahaba would have done with each other.
I want to take a moment to thank you for the feedback and experiences you share with us. We have been listening to everyone's feedback and doing our best to surpass our community's expectations. Just in time for Ramadan, we have:
- Fixed a lot of things in the backend to make it easier for you to create a campaign page
- Integrated an option to donate with Google Pay and Apple Pay
- Simplified your ability to search and find campaigns or organizations that you care about, in time for Ramadan
- Prioritized working on easily sharing your campaigns on Instagram, too (keep your eyes peeled for this update!)
At LaunchGood, we're all about community and coming together to support each other. We hope you'll join us this Ramadan in doing just that!
