What happens each month, with every donor
afrus checks and charges automatically, every day
Your team doesn't have to check one by one who needs to pay this month. afrus does it every day, without accidentally charging twice, and decides what to do based on whether the payment went through or not.
1

Checks who needs to pay today

Every day, afrus identifies which monthly donors have a pending payment.

2

Processes the charge

Sends the charge to the bank or payment gateway and waits for the response: approved or declined.

3

Act based on the result

If the payment went through, schedule it for the next month. If it failed, follow the rule you defined.

When to charge

You choose which day of the month to charge

After a successful payment, afrus schedules the next charge in one of two ways.

Social Causes Mode

All payments, at the start of the month

- The billing date gradually shifts until it lands on the 1st of each month.

- This way, almost all your funds come in at the same time, making it easier to balance your books.
Standard Mode

The same day they donated

- If someone donated on the 15th, they are charged again on the 15th of every month.

- The donor always knows exactly when they will be charged.

When a card fails

You decide how persistent afrus is

A declined card shouldn't mean losing a donor. But it doesn't make sense to chase them forever, either. You choose how afrus behaves.

Social Causes Mode

Keep trying, and know when to stop

- If a month fails, that month is not collected later; it simply tries again the following month.

- If a donor's payment fails for 12 consecutive months, afrus automatically cancels the monthly donation. No one on your team has to do it manually.
Standard Mode

Save what was missed and collect it later

- If a donor fails for several consecutive months, those months remain pending.

- The next time a payment goes through, afrus also collects the outstanding balance.
For your team

You know exactly
who needs your attention

Every monthly donor has a clear status. Those who need your attention because a
payment failed or information is missing are grouped in one place, so you never miss a thing.

What is afrus?

afrus is a fundraising platform that helps social organizations acquire more donors, automate processes, and strengthen relationships with their communities using technology and artificial intelligence.

Do I need technical knowledge to use afrus?

No. afrus is designed so that fundraising, marketing, and communication teams can create forms, landing pages, automations, and campaigns without relying on developers or specialized technical teams.

How does afrus help acquire more donors?

afrus allows you to create optimized acquisition experiences, automate follow-ups, and guide each person throughout their journey, increasing conversion and retention opportunities.

What is ALMA?

ALMA is afrus's autonomous fundraising agent. It works alongside your team, identifying opportunities, conducting follow-ups, and maintaining personalized conversations to help convert more people into donors. This way, your organization can expand its acquisition and retention capabilities without increasing operational burden.

Does artificial intelligence replace my fundraising team?

No. afrus's artificial intelligence is designed to empower your team's work by automating repetitive tasks and facilitating donor relationship management, so that people can focus on strategy, relationships, and the organization's mission.

Why do organizations choose afrus?

Because it brings together all the necessary tools to manage campaigns, donations, automations, communications, and donor relationships in one place. This reduces operational complexity, improves the donor experience, and allows more time to be dedicated to creating impact.

Does the form work the same on mobile as it does on a computer?

Yes. It’s not a stripped-down version; it’s the same form, same design, and same features on any screen.

Is it available in multiple languages and currencies?

Yes. The same form automatically adapts to the donor's language and currency based on their country.

Does it allow for one-time, monthly, and annual donations at the same time?

Yes. Donors choose the frequency directly within the form, so you don't need to create separate forms for each option.

How does the monthly donation upgrade work?

When someone selects a one-time amount, the form displays a card offering two smaller amounts to upgrade to a monthly donation. The donor can accept or continue with their one-time gift.
