The AI fundraising assistant that helps you raise more with less effort

Raise uses AI-powered outreach tools to help fundraisers send timely, personalized emails, call prompts, and stewardship messages at scale. The platform analyzes donor data to recommend the right prospect, message, and timing, allowing teams to focus on building relationships instead of manual task lists. 

With Raise, advancement teams can achieve more personal touchpoints, even with limited staff, and drive measurable increases in giving.

CRMs like Raiser’s Edge NXT and Salesforce are designed to store and organize donor data, but they don’t tell you who to contact today, with what message, and why. 

Raise fills that gap by using AI to turn data into daily action plans for fundraisers, including outreach prompts, suggested messages, and stewardship reminders. Instead of passively holding data, Raise actively guides fundraising activity, helping teams connect with more donors in less time.

Raise integrates with leading CRM systems like Raiser’s Edge NXT and Salesforce to ensure that every fundraising action – outreach, engagement, and stewardship – is consistently reflected in your donor database. 

The integration uses a scheduled write-back model, exporting data from Raise into your CRM on a configured sync schedule. This ensures that all activity initiated in Raise, including calls, emails, notes, and tasks, is centralized in your CRM for accurate tracking, reporting, and continuity across teams.

Raise is built for advancement teams of any size – from large university development offices to one-person advancement shops. 

Smaller teams often see immediate and measurable benefits, because Raise allows them to do more with less by automating donor prioritization and outreach. For example, Fenwick High School used Raise to raise six figures in new and increased gifts with a single fundraiser managing outreach.

Raise and Evertrue both support donor engagement, but they take different approaches. Evertrue emphasizes wealth insights and digital engagement signals, while Raise focuses on AI-driven daily outreach plans that make fundraisers more productive. 
With Raise, teams receive specific outreach prompts, messages, and timing recommendations, turning data into immediate action. This proactive, AI-first model allows schools to scale donor outreach, deepen relationships, and drive revenue faster than traditional donor engagement software.
