Turn One-Time Donors into
Lifelong Supporters

Our AI analyzes donor engagement patterns, giving history, and behavior signals to identify which annual fund donors are at risk of lapsing and when to reach them. The AI surfaces these insights as actionable recommendations, but never writes your messages. Your team creates authentic video thank-yous that show real impact — with AI ensuring they reach the right donor at the optimal moment. Nonprofits using this approach see donors 40% more likely to give again compared to standard email acknowledgments.

No — and that's by design. DonorElevate enhances your existing CRM (Salesforce, Raiser's Edge, Blackbaud, etc.) by adding relationship-building capabilities that transaction-focused databases weren't built for. Your donor data stays where it is, while DonorElevate adds personalized video messaging, AI-powered engagement insights, and multi-channel communication. Data syncs back to your CRM automatically, enriching donor profiles with interaction history.

Fully automated tools send templated, AI-generated messages that donors can spot from a mile away. They feel impersonal and often damage relationships rather than build them. DonorElevate takes the opposite approach: AI handles the data analysis and timing recommendations, while your team creates authentic, personal content. Donors receive real video messages from real people at your nonprofit — with AI ensuring those messages reach the right person at the right time.

Nonprofits using DonorElevate see donors 40% more likely to give again when they receive video stewardship, 85% video open rates (vs. 22% email average), 15% more first-time donors converting to recurring supporters, and development teams saving 10+ hours per week on manual stewardship tasks. Our AI has identified that video thank-yous sent within 48 hours of a gift have the highest impact on retention — insights like this help maximize every stewardship moment.

Less than you think. Record one video, and DonorElevate personalizes it for hundreds of donors automatically — adding their name, giving amount, and program impact. Most nonprofits save 10+ hours per week on stewardship tasks while actually increasing the number of personal touchpoints. The AI prioritization means you're spending time on donors who need it most, not spreading thin across your entire database or dealing with grant reporting burnout.

Video stewardship doesn't require professional production or perfect delivery. Donors respond to authenticity, not polish. A simple thank-you recorded on a phone feels more personal than a professionally produced piece. We provide best practices and templates to help your team feel confident, and many nonprofit clients find that once they see the donor response rates, any camera shyness disappears quickly.

Absolutely. DonorElevate is perfect for nonprofits with volunteer fundraisers or board members who support development efforts. The AI handles all the complex donor analysis and timing recommendations, so volunteers simply receive clear guidance on which supporters to reach out to and when. They can record authentic thank-yous without needing development expertise — the platform guides them through every step while maintaining your nonprofit's brand and messaging.

Our AI analyzes multiple signals: email opens, video views, website visits, giving frequency, gift amounts, event attendance, and more. It identifies patterns that predict donor behavior — like which annual fund donors are at risk of lapsing, which major gift prospects are ready for cultivation, and which supporters just need a simple thank-you to stay engaged. These insights surface as actionable recommendations for your development team, not just data dashboards.
