Fundraising first.
AI second.
Most consultants are coders or IT professionals, we ‘speak charity’ and so we start with what you’re actually trying to do: raise more money, find more donors, and keep them giving for longer. That’s what we do every day for charities like yours; it’s our specialism. AI is not an end in itself, it’s a means to an end. That’s why we say ‘AI is not a strategy. Leadership is.’ For charity professionals like you, AI is a powerful tool that can grow your supporter base and ultimately help you change more lives. Once we help you decide on your goals for AI, this powerful technology can ‘scale’ your decisions, so you reach your desired destination faster.
“As a Head of Digital for a global NGO, I see daily that successful digital and AI transformation is not primarily a technology challenge. I believe it is primarily a leadership, management and governance challenge. The key to success, to enable a true digital and AI transformation within an NGO, is having the right governance in place and establishing clear principles, being clear about the value we want to create through our strategy (the why, the purpose, what you want AI to help you achieve), and ensuring close alignment with executive leadership and between leaders, as well as with leaders and their team.”

A world where
every charity is human-led,

Gathering insight, listening to supporters, understanding context that only humans can interpret.
Connect
Building relationships, creating emotional resonance, fostering trust with donors and communities.
Lead
Setting direction, making values-based decisions, owning governance of the organisation’s AI journey.
Predict
Using data to forecast donor behaviour, identify opportunities and allocate resources effectively.
Iterate
Personalising content at the individual level through AI-generated variations and testing.
Automate
Scaling personalised donor journeys, automating routine communications, freeing human time.
The Trust Guarantee
Our commitment to you as a charity leader.
Human-led, AI-scaled fundraising that safeguards your supporters, your staff and the stakeholders you rely on. In a sector where reputation is everything, this lets your board act with confidence.
The five essentials
We help you make five key decisions before you adopt AI tools.
-
1.
Agree and establish your charity-wide AI strategy before you expand AI tool usage. Governance before gadgets.
-
2.
Use predictive AI to strengthen donor segmentation and retention and make every campaign more effective.
-
3.
Keep donor relationships, trust-building and sensitive conversations wholly human. Some things AI must never touch.
-
4.
Structure website content around the questions prospective donors actually ask, because AI now assesses your charity and decides what donors find out about you.
-
5.
Treat clean data, consistent messaging and clear governance as the foundations for successful AI adoption. AI is only as good as what you feed it.
