Sometimes fundraising can feel like standing on one side of a cliff.
On the other side lie smoother supporter journeys, better data, and more time to focus on the mission. But how do you get across?
There are two ways:
- Leap across — a bold, complete change that gets you there in one go.
- Build stepping stones — smaller, deliberate moves that take you across safely without reworking everything at once.
At Dreamscape, we’ve built two solutions for these journeys: hapi (the leap) and hapiLite (the stepping stones). Both are powerful in their own right - but which one is right for you?
The Leap Across: hapi
When you choose hapi, you’re making a full commitment to a digital transformation.
It’s like taking a running jump across the gap. You start fresh with a purpose-built website designed around fundraising, reimagine supporter journeys, and bring every fundraising tool into one platform. The hapi website builder offers a wide range of professionally designed drag-and-drop widgets, complete control over your branding and content, and integrated fundraising tools that work seamlessly.
With hapi, you get:
- A hapi-built website with drag-and-drop widgets
- Complete control over branding and supporter experience
- Every fundraising tool is integrated and optimised for impact
- Secure CRM data automation and email stewardship
The leap is bold — but when your current setup no longer supports your goals, it can be the fastest, most effective way to cross the gap.
Building Stepping Stones: hapiLite
Not every charity is ready to take that leap, and that’s where hapiLite comes in.
hapiLite lets you keep your existing website while building stepping stones across the gap. You add modern, powerful tools on top of what you already have, so that you can cross the gap in smaller, manageable steps.
With hapiLite, you can:
- Streamline supporter checkout processes
- Automate donor data handling and email journeys
- Bring disconnected platforms together in one connected experience
It’s the smart upgrade — a way to modernise now, without the cost, time, or disruption of a complete rebuild.
Which Path Should You Take?
Choosing between hapi and hapiLite comes down to how you want to cross the gap.
- Take the leap if your charity is ready for a complete digital transformation and wants everything under one roof.
- Build the steps if your current website still works, but your fundraising tools are holding you back.
Both paths get you to the other side — but the route you choose depends on your resources, priorities, and readiness for change.
The Takeaway
Whether you take the leap or build the steps, the important thing is making the crossing so your charity can reach the other side — a place where technology works for you, not the other way around.
At Dreamscape, our mission is to help you choose the right route. Because crossing that gap successfully isn’t about doing it all at once — it’s about choosing the path that’s right for your charity today.
So - will your charity take the leap, or build the steps first?
