Every botanical garden needs giving to be easy to make and easy to track. Social Good Software adds modern donation and fundraising tools on top of Blackbaud Altru, so garden restoration and horticulture giving flow into the same constituent record as your members and visitors, with no separate donor database to reconcile.
What botanical gardens need from donation software
For botanical gardens, giving is tied to everything else, from garden restoration and horticulture giving to the members and visitors who fund the mission. Standalone donation tools capture the gift but strand it away from the member and visit history, leaving staff to export and match. Donation software for a botanical garden should put the gift on the same record as the donor’s membership and admissions.
Giving on the Altru record
Social Good Software adds donation asks and giving to your on-brand checkout, tied to the Altru constituent record. A ticket buyer or member can give in the same flow, and it all lands in Altru. Explore how we serve botanical gardens.
