Donor Research Automation for Fundraisers

Let your AI agent gather donor goals, wealth estimates, and giving trends in minutes—so you focus on building relationships, not searching databases.

You spend hours as a development officer pulling donor info from Raiser’s Edge, Excel, and Outlook. Cross-referencing spreadsheets and emails just to prep for a call is exhausting. Manual research means you risk missing key details and waste time you could spend with donors.

An AI agent that instantly compiles donor profiles, giving history, and net worth from Salesforce, Raiser’s Edge, and email, so fundraisers skip manual research.

What this replaces

Copy donor records from Raiser’s Edge into Google Sheets
Search Outlook for past donor communications before meetings
Manually summarize giving history for board reports
Compile net worth data from WealthEngine into profiles
Review email threads to identify donor interests

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In nonprofit fundraising, development managers and major gifts officers waste 1.5-2 hours each week pulling donor data from Salesforce, Raiser’s Edge, and Outlook into Google Sheets. This manual process means copying giving history, searching for net worth estimates, and piecing together donor interests from email threads. It’s slow, error-prone, and leaves little time for actual outreach.
