Will we be notified when someone makes a donation?

Absolutely! Those are the emails you'll look forward to receiving. 

SimplyGiving.com will send you an email notification every time a donation is made either directly to your cause page or via a fundraiser, as long as you are the Beneficiary of the donation. You can then login to your charity admin area and access the donor data to issue a tax receipts (if the donor has requested it) and, most importantly, to thank them!
