Maximize your fundraising impact with Blackbaud’s Complete Cover ✨

Raise unlimited funds and keep 100% of what you've raised—saving on BBMS fees.

Imagine celebrating a successful fundraising campaign only to realize that a portion of those hard-earned donations will be lost to transaction fees. It’s a bittersweet moment—reaching your goal, but knowing you won’t keep the full amount.

Now, picture this: 100% of your donations going directly to the cause, with no fees deducted—and no penalties for raising more.

That’s the power of enabling Blackbaud Complete Cover with Almabase. Institutions using Blackbaud Merchant Services (BBMS) can unlock the ability to raise unlimited funds at a flat fee while keeping every dollar raised, saving significantly on BBMS transaction fees.

Here’s how it works:

How does it work?

By turning on an optional tipping feature through Blackbaud Complete Cover, donors have the chance to add a small tip to their contribution. Over 60% of donors are happy to tip, and when they do, all processing fees for every donation are waived—even for those who don’t tip!

Let’s say a donor gives $100:

• Without Complete Cover, you’d lose around 3% to transaction fees and receive only about $96.70.
• With Complete Cover, you keep the full $100, regardless of whether the donor tips.

Donors who tip might give $105 or $110, and even if they don’t tip, you still keep the entire $100.

(Note: These are just hypothetical figures.)

What’s the real difference? 💰

Complete Cover doesn’t just reduce fees—it maximizes the impact of every donation. With thousands of dollars saved each year, you can reinvest more into your programs, students, or causes. It’s a simple change with transformative results.

Note: These numbers are just estimates to give you an understanding of how much can be saved. Actual savings may vary based on the number of email records, the products you purchase, and other factors.

Who can benefit?

This option is available for Almabase customers who use Blackbaud Merchant Services (BBMS) and choose to enable the tipping feature through Blackbaud Complete Cover.
