What’s the Deal with “Split Checks”?

Have you ever had a donor write a check and want to split the fundraising credit among multiple peer-to-peer (P2P) fundraising participants? Or maybe a company wants to donate, but they’d like each of their team members to get credit toward their fundraising goal? Up until now, these scenarios might have been a bit tricky to manage and require assistance from your organization’s donor services team to manage, enter into a database, and deposit. But here’s some great news: with the new “Split Checks” feature released in the Nuclavis app, you can now easily deposit check donations and split the fundraising credit among multiple team members—directly from your mobile device.

Introducing the “Split Check” Feature: A Game Changer for Fundraisers

In November 2024, Nuclavis introduced a highly-anticipated feature that allows event managers and team captains to use mobile check deposit and allocate portions of the check to credit multiple participants. If you’ve ever had to manually assign fundraising credit after receiving a check donation, you know how time-consuming and cumbersome that process can be. This new feature simplifies everything, and we’re here to tell you why it’s a big deal for your P2P program.

Use Cases: How the “Split Check” Feature Can Help You

The new split check feature is perfect for a variety of common fundraising scenarios:

• Family Donations: A family member might write a single check and want each member of the family to receive a portion of the credit. Instead of manually handling this, the team captain can now split the donation and deposit the check directly in the app.
• Corporate Donations: Many companies love supporting their employees’ fundraising efforts. With the split check feature, companies can donate a lump sum and ensure that each team member gets credit toward their individual goals.
• Generous Donors: Sometimes, donors want to help multiple individuals or teams reach their fundraising goals. Instead of making multiple smaller donations, they can write one check and allocate portions of it across several participants.

The Key Benefits: Why You’ll Love This New Feature

• Happier Fundraisers: Team captains can now deposit checks themselves through the Nuclavis mobile app, without needing to send the check to the organization with specific instructions on how to distribute credit. This puts control directly in the hands of the team leaders.
• Less Work for Donor Services: Traditionally, donor services staff would have to manually enter the check details and allocate credit to the appropriate participants. With the split check feature, this work is offloaded from donor services, reducing the administrative burden and streamlining the process.
• Faster Deposits: Instead of waiting for the check to be sent to the organization and processed through traditional channels, the deposit happens instantly when the team captain or event manager enters it using the mobile app. This means the funds get to the bank faster, helping to keep cash flow steady and improving processing times.
• Quicker Fundraising Credit: By splitting and depositing checks directly in the app, team members can get fundraising credit right away. No more waiting for the check to be mailed and the data to be entered — donations are processed and credited in real-time.

A Seamless Experience for Nuclavis Users

Currently, this new split check feature is available exclusively to Nuclavis clients using Blackbaud’s TeamRaiser platform. If your program uses TeamRaiser and you are already using Nuclavis’ mobile deposit, we can turn it on for you right away. But don’t worry if you’re not on TeamRaiser—we can add this feature to other fundraising platforms upon request.

Why This Matters

P2P programs have always been about bringing people together for a cause. With the “split check” feature, Nuclavis is helping make that process smoother, faster, and more efficient. The ability to instantly credit multiple participants for a single donation creates a more seamless experience for both donors and fundraisers, while also freeing up time for your staff. The best part? It all happens through the convenience of your mobile app.
