Engaging Networks Essentials
A Clearer View of What’s Really Happening
If you’re using Engaging Networks, you already have the data – Email performance, Fundraising income, Advocacy activity, Regular giving – thanks to its multifaceted fundraising platform.
But if those numbers only come together in a spreadsheet before a board meeting, clarity becomes fractured.
Engaging Networks Essentials brings everything into one joined-up view, so you can stop stitching reports together, avoid pivot tables, and start making better decisions.
Not more data. Just better visibility.
What Is Engaging Networks Essentials?
Engaging Networks Essentials is a reporting and insight dashboard designed specifically for charities using Engaging Networks.
It combines:
- Email performance
- Donation page results
- Regular giving data
- Advocacy engagement
Into one shared, structured view.
Instead of switching between EN screens or exporting data into multiple spreadsheets, you get one consistent version of the truth — ready for monthly reporting, leadership conversations and campaign reflection.
Why It Matters
Most charities don’t have a data problem.
They have a clarity problem.
When reporting is fragmented:
- Different teams rely on different numbers
- Definitions quietly drift
- Meetings focus on reconciling figures rather than discussing strategy
- Reporting becomes reactive instead of reflective
EN Essentials removes that friction.
It gives fundraising, comms and leadership teams a shared view of performance — across channels, not in silos.
What You Can See
Joined-Up Performance Overview
See email, income, advocacy and regular giving in one place — without manual exports or cross-checking.
No screen hopping.
No duplicated spreadsheets.
No “which number is right?” moments.
Email Performance You Can Act On
Move beyond opens and clicks.
- Income generated per 1,000 emails sent
- Clear links between campaigns and downstream donations
- Subject line performance patterns
- Momentum indicators that flag when engagement is slowing
Understand not just what happened, but where attention is needed.
Fundraising Clarity
See both volume and value together.
- Best-performing donation pages
- Median and average gift values
- Clear visibility of where small optimisations could lift results
No overcomplication. Just practical insight.
Regular Giving Visibility
Regular giving isn’t just a single net figure.
Essentials highlights:
- Active regular supporters
- New vs existing visibility
- Churn signals
- Average instalment values
So stewardship decisions are grounded in reality, not guesswork.
Supporter Engagement Clusters
Understand how supporters move across your organisation.
- Single-gift supporters
- Regular givers
- Action-only supporters
- Multi-engaged supporters
Many organisations discover that only a small percentage of supporters are meaningfully multi-engaged. That’s not a failure — it’s an opportunity.
When you can see those patterns clearly, you can design journeys more intentionally.
Built for Reflection, Not Firefighting
EN Essentials isn’t designed for daily panic-checking.
It’s built for:
- Monthly performance reviews
- Quarterly strategy conversations
- Cross-team planning sessions
- Leadership reporting
Instead of spending time reconciling figures, you can focus on:
- What’s changing
- What’s working
- Where to focus next
It gives teams permission to pause and think.
Who It’s For
Engaging Networks Essentials is ideal for:
- Fundraising Managers
- Heads of Comms / Digital
- Data & Insight Leads
- Small charity teams juggling multiple roles
- Leadership teams wanting a clearer overview
If you’re using Engaging Networks and relying heavily on spreadsheets to bring performance together, this was built with you in mind.
What It’s Not
EN Essentials is not a replacement CRM.
It’s not a complex BI environment.
It’s not a daily operational dashboard.
It’s a clarity tool.
Designed to reduce friction, align teams, and improve decision-making — without adding complexity.

If you’re tired of stitching reports together just to answer simple questions, Engaging Networks Essentials gives you a cleaner starting point.
