Donor Management Automation for Fundraisers

Let your AI agent handle donor profiling, outreach, and database updates so you can focus on building real relationships and securing contributions.

You spend hours in Excel, Outlook, and Blackbaud just tracking donors, writing thank you emails, and updating records. As a fundraising manager, manual admin eats up your day, leaving little time for strategy or meaningful donor conversations. Missed follow-ups and outdated databases make hitting your fundraising targets harder than it should be.

An AI agent that automates donor research, personalized outreach, database updates, and grant application prep for fundraising professionals.

What this replaces

Draft personalized outreach emails in Gmail for each donor

Assemble grant application documents in Google Drive
Write thank you letters one-by-one for campaign contributors

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In financial services fundraising, development managers and donor relations specialists waste time pulling donor lists from Salesforce, drafting outreach in Gmail, and updating records in Raiser's Edge. Each thank you note, grant proposal, and event follow-up becomes a repetitive task. The constant admin work means less time for cultivating donors and planning campaigns.
