Partnership with Koalect

Donations, fundraising, participatory financing, occasional sales and fundraising campaigns: we see a growing desire to involve your audiences more in the life, functioning and sometimes even the sustenance of your organisation. In response, Spade goes one step further in its service proposal: here is the birth of the partnerhip with Koalect!

Koalect, what is it?

Koalect is first and foremost a superb Belgian initiative now present in 5 other countries in Europe. It aims to make the most of digital to engage your communities and generate a strong social impact.

In concrete terms, Koalect is 3 services to activate the participation of people at your side:

  • GIVE – classic donation modules to be integrated on all media
  • DO – crowdsourcing, crowdfunding, it is a question of proposing to your community to launch its own fundraising (to participate in an event, for example a fundraising for a sports race)
  • SCAN – QR codes to be integrated everywhere to facilitate direct donation

A module also allows you to create and manage a mini online shop for the occasional sale of items (an accessory linked to a campaign for example), without having to create a complete e-shop.

These services offer great freedom of customisation. For example, indicate in the donation form that such and such an amount is equivalent to such and such an action, that such and such an amount will allow this or that, etc. You can set up short-, medium- and long-term donation policies, and for each one you can run its own page with news, updates and information for the people involved.

The must-haves:

  • Koalect provides the information necessary for the attribution of tax certificates.
  • In compliance with the RGPD, Koalect ensures the collection of data from donors for marketing purposes – all you have to do is connect the Koalect platform to your CRM tool – thus constituting an additional prospecting channel.

Why Koalect rather than another donation collection service?

Where Spade takes care of digital strategy, user experience, graphic design and visual identity, development and technical management, Koalect provides a set of tools and software for the development of fundraising strategies.

As with our other collaborations (Utick for event ticketing, Make Me Web for specific web technologies), we favour local players with whom we share common values and have complementary skills.

Spade recommends Koalect for the following reasons:

  • Koalect is a Belgian company committed to a social approach. It is also the Belgian market leader in its sector and the only digital donation system already approved by two rulings of the Ministry of Finance
  • The services offered, which have been tested, are very flexible and have a nice ergonomic design for easy use, whether you use them regularly or not.
  • The possibilities of forms, styles and formats of participation are immense – this echoes the flexibility of the tools we are putting in place for you
  • The technologies offered for making donations are comprehensive (for example, the QR code allows you to collect all the information needed to make the donation in a flash, but also to provide the person’s tax certificate – a system that other QR code donation collections do not use)
  • The integration is well thought out and easily done, and the link with your CRM very easy
  • Koalect is very committed to the user experience offered, as is Spade
  • We have common ambitions and share the same commitments to projects with a positive social impact; human projects that make users’ lives easier and put them at the centre of our thinking; projects that make sense; effective tools and consideration of accessibility and responsible web standards in all our developments
