About DonorElevate
One Platform. Every Stage. Built for Nonprofits & Athletic Departments.
We help nonprofits and athletic departments elevate donor engagement—whether you're just getting started or scaling a mature fundraising operation.
Why We Exist
We started in your world.
Our team built RecruitSuite—the platform that helped over 70 top football programs personalize recruiting communication at scale. That success led to our acquisition by Teamworks in 2022.
But we saw a bigger challenge rising: donor engagement.
Departments were stretched thin, juggling disconnected tools, manual processes, and growing pressure to fundraise. We knew there had to be a better way.
So we built DonorElevate—a purpose-built platform for nonprofits and athletic departments that helps organizations simplify outreach, increase engagement, and grow donor support at any stage.
