Rescue missions

The fundraising tool 50+ rescue missions use to raise more.

No two missions have the same story, so why send a generic one? ViewSpark lets your donors see what's happening at your door — the moment it's happening — on their own phone.

What missions send

The best videos are the ones you didn't plan.

The food boxes just arrived. The first freeze is tonight. A forklift broke. These are the sends that raise the most — and they take a minute to record. Three real ones, exactly as donors received them:

A year of sends

Your calendar already writes itself.

Thanksgiving & Christmas

Turkeys arriving, boxes being packed, the dining room on the day. One mission raised nearly $10,000 from a single Thanksgiving video — and $4,836 from one back-to-school send.

Thank-yous

After a big appeal, show donors what their gifts did — the meals served, the beds filled. A simple thank-you video keeps them close, and it often brings in the next gift.

Urgent needs

Code Purple nights, a broken freezer, a flood. Your donors hear about it from you first — not from the news.

Lapsed donors

"The most effective way we've ever reactivated lapsed donors." — Muncie Mission. A fresh format wins back attention.

Monthly donors

Behind-the-scenes updates that make a $25/month donor feel like an insider — and give them a reason to stay one.

Major donors

A personal 30-second video to one donor, sent from the program floor. Nothing else in your toolkit does this.

Peer proof

Missions like yours, already doing it.

ViewSpark is the most effective way we've ever reactivated lapsed donors. One short video update won back their attention — and their compassion.

When one of our donors makes a gift, I get an instant push notification on my phone. With one tap, I can record and send a personalized thank-you video. Our donors are thrilled, and my team says there's nothing else like this in the marketplace.
