GivebearAdd-ons Reference
Understand which specialized features can be enabled for an organization and when to use them.
Add-ons let an organization keep the dashboard focused. Instead of showing every possible faith, calendar, volunteer, and campaign feature to every team, Givebear enables the tools that fit the organization's work.
How add-ons are chosen
During onboarding, a starter toolkit can enable an initial bundle of add-ons. Admins can later adjust individual add-ons from the dashboard.
Starter toolkits are shortcuts, not permanent labels. A mosque can change its enabled add-ons later. A generic nonprofit can add a community calendar later. The important question is whether staff have a real workflow for the feature.
Add-on catalog
| Add-on | Use it when | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Muslim Prayer Times | A mosque needs daily prayer schedules and related website surfaces. | Keep schedule details current because donors and attendees may check them often. |
| Ramadan Campaigns | A mosque or nonprofit runs Ramadan-specific fundraising. | Use with campaign pages and clear donor messaging. |
| Church Services | A church needs service-related scheduling. | Pair with calendar or event workflows when attendance details matter. |
| Church Tithes | A church wants giving language and structure around tithes. | Use funds for stable giving destinations. |
| Synagogue Calendar | A synagogue needs public calendar support. | Use calendar content for visibility, not ticketing. |
| Jewish Holiday Giving | A synagogue runs holiday-centered appeals. | Use campaigns when the appeal has a story or season. |
| Hindu Temple Events | A temple needs event-oriented programming tools. | Use Events for registration and check-in. |
| Gurdwara Calendar | A gurdwara needs community calendar support. | Keep public schedule details written for attendees. |
| Buddhist Temple Events | A temple or sangha needs event-oriented programming tools. | Use event pages when attendance is tracked. |
| Community Calendar | Any organization needs a public program schedule. | Do not use events for every calendar item unless registration matters. |
| Volunteer Program | Staff need to track volunteer-oriented work. | Pair with contacts, tags, tasks, and activity. |
How to decide what to enable
Enable an add-on when all three are true:
- Staff can name the workflow it supports.
- Someone owns keeping the content accurate.
- Donors, attendees, or volunteers benefit from seeing it.
Leave an add-on off when it is only aspirational. A cleaner dashboard is better than a large dashboard full of unused surfaces.
