Goal Thermometer for Online Forms

An optional goal thermometer to visually track the progress towards your goals on online giving forms. It would reflect ALL offline and online giving.

    This needs to be a priority. We had this in Kindful...being forced to move to Bloomerang... this feature is a backward step.
    We have a number of older donors that only send gifts by check. Also our larger gifts usually come from donor advised funds. The top 60-80% of our campaign goals come from donor advised and checks sent in. To not have the ability to add offline gifts makes the campaign look like a failure. Donors don't like to feel like they gave to a campaign that failed.... Then it takes us extra time to explain "the system doesn't allow us to show all gifts given" .... not a good look for Bloomerang when Kindful did this.
    Can you make this a priority? I have a report already saved that reflects the total given..... I can't believe this can't be fixed relatively soon.
    Thank you for considering.

    This would be great without having to add other widgets, doohickeys or doodads to make this product better.

    This would be great. Currently we have this implemented through custome javascript/css on our website, but we do the "integration" by hand. We periodically run a report in Bloomerang and then hand-edit the code on the website to show the total raised and last-updated date.

    Our supporters seem to love the thermometer and it increases giving as we approach the goal. Having this happen automatically/in real time would be great!

    We have found the integration with FundraiseUp to be a great tool for this, and their donation forms have much more robust giving options than the Bloomerang forms. Check it out if you haven't already!

    Very important. It will help increase donors!

    If you use Kindful there is a goal thermometer for Campaigns. HOWEVER I do not recommend adding Kindful because there are serious integration issues to Bloomerang that will impact your database.

    YES! This would be a HUGE help!

    Yes, and I would love to be able to set a goal for number of individual donors versus just amount raised. For instance, if we wanted to run a drive to bring in 50 new donors (or 10 new recurring donors) the $ thermometer wouldn't tell us how close we were.
