Is your organization ready to discover how AI can boost your fundraising results?
AI pilots are your pathway to safe, practical AI innovation – allowing your organization to learn by doing while carefully managing risks and costs. These self-contained projects let you test AI solutions in controlled environments before making larger commitments.
I'm launching a Fundraising with AI Pilot Program for organizations who are ready to explore their AI fundraising potential.
Over an 8-16 week program we'll run a safe, self-contained AI pilot that will provide valuable, real-world insights for your fundraising program.
The sample AI pilots below are designed to address a specific fundraising challenge while minimizing disruption to your existing operations. They are structured to deliver clear, measurable results within 8-16 weeks, so you can validate the impact of AI on your fundraising goals before making any larger commitments.
Donor Reactivation Predictor
Are you wasting time and resources trying to reactivate all lapsed donors without knowing who's most likely to give again?
Use AI to inspect your lapsed donor data and identify patterns among those who have successfully reactivated. These insights will help your team work smarter by focusing their efforts on the most promising recovery candidates.
Donor Persona Builder
Are your donor segments feeling flat and lifeless, failing to capture the real people behind the data?
Transform your donor data into dynamic, actionable personas that bring your supporter segments to life. The AI-powered system identifies meaningful patterns in donation frequency, gift sizes, preferred causes, digital engagement, and event attendance.
Donor Segmentation Enhancer
Are your traditional donor segments missing important behavioral patterns that could improve your targeting?
Use AI-powered insight to analyze your entire donor data, uncovering nuanced patterns and refining traditional segments with behavioural and engagement insights.
Email Appeal Optimizer
Are your email appeals falling flat, with declining response rates despite your best efforts?
Analyze email appeal results for insights to improve campaign performance. Start by optimizing one specific type of appeal – such as monthly giving requests.
Social Donor Journey Mapper
Are you struggling to convert social media engagement into actual donations?
Optimizes how supporters move from social media engagement into the giving funnel and convert to financial supporters. Begin with just one lead conversion funnel, using AI to identify patterns in supporter behaviour.
Landing Page Personalizer
Is your one-size-fits-all donation page failing to resonate with different types of supporters?
Optimize your donation page content based on how visitors arrive at your site. Test personalization such as featured content, customized giving arrays, and preferred payment options.
Event ROI Optimizer
Are you unsure which elements of your events really drive fundraising success?
Analyzes historical event data to identify what drives success. Start with data from just one type of event, looking for patterns that could inform future planning.
Supporter Services ChatBot
Is your team overwhelmed with routine donor questions, especially during office hours?
Enhances donor service with a friendly, knowledgeable, and 24/7 accessible conversational chatbot. Begin with handling common donation process questions during off-hours, then expand to full availability.
What are your top fundraising challenges?
We'll develop a custom AI pilot focused on your organization's unique needs. Whether you need deeper donor insights, workflow optimization, or innovative engagement strategies, we'll create a targeted solution for your unique priorities.
Pricing for AI Pilots is based on the complexity of the project and the resources required to implement it. We'll work with you to determine the best fit for your needs.
Basic AI-powered dashboard with data-snapshot analysis, and AI-generated insights plus recommendations, with on-demand data refreshes. Ideal for single-workflow implementations with weekly meetings.
Additional AI-powered features such as live data feeds, predictive modeling, task automation, document processing, custom content generation, or custom reporting, including team AI safety training.
Complex AI Agent combining multi-channel, multi-system data automation, large-scale data or document processing, predictive modeling, customized content workflows, user authentication, and/or data systems integrations. Suitable for team-based or system-wide toolsets.
At the end of your pilot, you'll receive:
A comprehensive analysis of your pilot's results, including key metrics, insights gained, and specific recommendations for your fundraising program.
A clear plan for either scaling successful elements or adjusting the approach based on learnings. This includes specific steps for implementation and resource requirements.
Clear recommendations for next steps, whether that's expanding the successful pilot, trying a different approach, or integrating the learnings into your existing processes. We'll present various options that align with your budget and organizational capacity.
We take data security seriously in all our AI pilots. Each pilot follows strict data governance protocols, including data anonymization and privacy compliance standards. We'll work with you to ensure all data handling meets your organization's security requirements and industry regulations.
All AI pilots include human oversight and validation processes. AI Pilots work within your existing content review and approval controls - nothing goes live without your team's explicit approval. We start small and test thoroughly, with clear protocols for reviewing AI-generated insights and recommendations.
Safety guardrails are built into every pilot, including content approval workflows, performance monitoring, and error detection systems. Your team maintains control and can adjust or override any AI suggestions that don't align with your fundraising strategy.
No specialized technical expertise is required. Our pilots are designed to be user-friendly, and we provide comprehensive training and support. Your team will learn how to effectively use the AI tools while focusing on what they do best – building donor relationships.
No – AI is designed to enhance, not replace, your fundraising team. These pilots help automate routine tasks and provide insights, freeing up your staff to focus on building meaningful donor relationships and strategic activities that require human touch.
ROI varies by pilot type and organization, but we focus on measurable outcomes. Each pilot includes clear success metrics and benchmarks. For example, our Donor Reactivation Predictor pilots typically help organizations focus resources on the most promising donor segments, improving reactivation rates while reducing outreach costs.
Most pilots show initial results within 4-6 weeks, with full insights available by the end of the 8-16 week program. We provide regular progress updates and adjustments throughout the pilot to ensure you're seeing meaningful improvements.
We start with a detailed assessment of your current fundraising challenges and goals. Based on your priorities, budget, and readiness, we'll recommend the most suitable pilot program. We can also customize pilots to address your specific needs and circumstances.
No – pilots are designed to run alongside your existing operations without disruption. We typically start with a single workflow or process, allowing you to test and validate the AI solution in a controlled environment before considering wider implementation.
Each pilot includes regular check-ins, technical support, and training for your team. We provide documentation, best practices, and hands-on guidance to ensure your team can effectively use and evaluate the AI tools.
