I still need 2 more donations to win my "friendly wager" w/ our fundraising team. I bet I could get 10 Mastodon users to donate to a CU Fund during the #buffsallin campaign. If you can spare even $1 and 5 min, PLEASE consider donating to CMCI using this link buffsallin.cu.edu/o/university…. This is a great way to show marketing groups that Mastodon is worth adding to their social media mix.

@mgifford CU uses a fairly unique approach to fundraising where anyone can have a fund for just about any reason. Like frisbee, donate to giving.cu.edu/fund/mens-ultima…. Apple trees? giving.cu.edu/fund/boulder-app…. We have > 2K funds on giving.cu.edu/. This CMCI was one featured in a campaign CU Boudler is running right now called #buffsallin. Not all 2K funds are part of that campaign, but you could donate to any of the funds on buffsallin.cu.edu/ if you add the utm values to the query string.

@mgifford I am targeting CMCI because ofthe work they have been doing the fediverse made it win/win. The service CU uses for crowdfunding also provided support for drupal.org/project/community_f… in D7, but when using the service directly they provide reports of the donation sources for marketers based on the utm values in the query string. The process of donating is embarrassingly convoluted and we lose utm reporting in the process right now. Community Funded -> D7 Commerce -> Salesforce

@mgifford Everything Community Funded is doing could be built in Drupal Commerce, but the our marketing teams really like working with a vendor used by many of their peer institutions. What we're doing on giving.cu.edu will change in 2025 to remain PCI compliant, but that's no longer a site/service I'm directly responsible for. Adding ?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=organic_social to the end of any funds URL will work and still show that the donor source was Mastodon.
