January was a big month for BetterUnite. We focused on shipping updates that reduce manual work, surface better donor insights, and remove friction for teams running fundraising, auctions, and CRM workflows every day. Some of these releases unlock entirely new capabilities, while others quietly make existing workflows faster and cleaner.
Below is a breakdown of what’s new, organized by impact level.
MAJOR RELEASES
ENHANCEMENTS
Donor Statement Updates
Donor statements are now more flexible and easier to manage. Teams can filter by giving totals, tags, households, and pledges, customize layouts, and merge statements directly into emails.
Activity Reporting
The activities page now offers a clearer snapshot of calls, emails, and tasks over time. This makes it easier to understand engagement levels without digging through individual records.
Virtuous Pledge Sync Support
BetterUnite now supports syncing pledges with Virtuous. This is a significant upgrade for Virtuous users, keeping pledge data aligned across systems and reducing manual reconciliation.
Tessitura Integration User Experience Upgrade
The Tessitura integration has been updated with a smoother, more intuitive experience. Arts and cultural organizations can now set up and manage the integration more easily.

Teams can choose between multiple sending addresses when emailing from a connected domain. This adds flexibility while maintaining consistent branding and deliverability.
