Simplify Contribution Collection with NIKKI

Managing contribution collection doesn’t have to feel like herding cats. For many organizations, it’s a time-consuming chore, yet it’s the lifeblood of their activities. Here’s a statistic to put things into perspective: organizations lose up to 20% of their expected contributions due to delays or inefficiencies in payment systems.

The NIKKI journey: From day one to payment collection

Day 1: Email with payment options
Once member data is uploaded, NIKKI sends an email to members offering three payment options:

1. Full payment: Members pay their dues in one lump sum, free of additional fees.
2. Installment plan: Members can choose to spread payments over 8 or 10 installments, with a 10% service fee (capped at €19).
3. Third-party assistance: Eligible members can apply for funding through external sources, such as the Youth Fund for Sports & Culture, by notifying NIKKI directly.

Day 5: First payment deadline
Members must make their first payment by day 5, either as a full payment or the initial installment. If payment isn’t received, NIKKI sends a reminder email on day 10.

Day 26: Proactive follow-ip
If payments remain outstanding after reminders, NIKKI’s trained team follows up with a friendly phone call to address issues and resolve delays.

Throughout the payment term, members receive automated reminder emails five days before and after each payment deadline to encourage timely contributions.

Monthly warnings for non-payment
On the 20th of each month, members with overdue payments receive an email warning of potential suspension of their membership unless payments are made promptly.

Pre-collection notices
Members who fail to pay for three consecutive terms (three months) receive a pre-collection notice on the 20th of the month. If no action is taken within 15 days, organizations can transfer these cases to NIKKI’s partner, CollectMasters, for further processing.

Weekly contributions to your organization

NIKKI ensures that your organization receives contributions on a weekly basis. Regular payouts reduce delays and errors in financial transactions, helping your organization maintain its financial stability.

A transparent fee structure simplifies the process further. During the first payment, NIKKI deducts a service fee, providing clear insights into costs for all parties.

‍

Comprehensive evaluations

Quarterly reports
Every quarter, your organization receives a detailed financial overview via email. These reports offer valuable insights into your performance and highlight areas that need attention.

Annual evaluations
At the end of the year, NIKKI conducts a comprehensive evaluation of the past season. Successes, challenges, and opportunities for improvement are analyzed to set actionable goals for the future.
