All 42 Documented Cases
Uncontrolled Pledge Data & Donor Privacy Breaches
AUD 5,000–50,000+ in Privacy Act penalties (OAIC enforcement), breach notification costs, legal fees, and reputational loss; plus 15–30 hours incident response labourManual pledge systems (spreadsheets, email threads, unencrypted databases) lack access controls, encryption, and audit trails. Sensitive donor data (payment details, contact info, giving history) is exposed to unauthorised access, inadvertent disclosure, and cyber-theft. No logs of who accessed or modified pledge records.
Manual Pledge Data Entry & Reconciliation Bottlenecks
AUD 12,000–30,000 per annum in labour (25–50 hours/month at AUD 25–40/hour); plus opportunity cost of lost strategic fundraisingTeams spend significant time re-entering pledge data from multiple sources (online forms, email, paper pledges, event registrations) into donor databases. No native payment processing integration requires manual bank statement matching. This diverts staff from strategic donor engagement to administrative tasks.
Blind Spots in Donor Segmentation & Pledge Performance Analysis
AUD 10,000–25,000 per annum in inefficient campaign spend and lost pledge revenue; plus 10–20 hours/month manual reporting labourNon-profits lack visibility into pledge performance metrics by donor segment, appeal source, or campaign. Manual reporting delays insights, preventing agile decision-making. Teams cannot identify which campaigns drive pledges, resulting in wasted marketing spend and misaligned fundraising strategy.
Delayed Pledge Collection & Pledge-to-Cash Lag
AUD 8,000–20,000 per annum in lost pledges and working capital drag; plus 15–25 hours/month manual follow-up labourManual pledge tracking systems lack automated reminders, payment verification, and follow-up workflows. Pledges fall through the cracks when donors are not systematically contacted. Real-time payment processing integration is absent, causing delays between pledge commitment and actual cash receipt.
