Make the most of your fundraising data
No matter what your core CRM platform, there are some applications that I believe every nonprofit will benefit from at different stages of their fundraising journey. If you are trying to acquire new donors, drowning in data imports, or curious about predictive modelling, I’m proud to recommend these solutions. Not only is the technology smart with demonstrated success, there are also some really good humans behind them.
Bridgit is the AI data and integration assistant built for charities. It connects the fundraising platforms you already use, like iDonate, Enthuse and JustGiving, to your CRM, then cleans, maps and reshapes your data automatically so it arrives accurate and ready to use. The fiddly admin that drains your week, from formatting postcodes to coding campaigns and flagging Gift Aid, is handled in the background, freeing your team to focus on supporters rather than spreadsheets.
Setting up a “bridge” is simple: choose a source, choose a destination and review how Bridgit proposes to map and clean everything. You approve each change before it’s finalised, so you stay in control. Bridgit works with most CRMs, delivering an import-ready spreadsheet or writing directly into systems like Salesforce and Raiser’s Edge NXT.
Bridgit meets enterprise-grade security standards and offers a free trial: don’t pay a penny until data is flowing and your team is saving time.
Fundraise Up is a digital fundraising platform that optimises the online giving experience. This goes way beyond donation pages and into a range of other powerful features. A growing pool of Irish charities are benefiting from using this AI driven tool to grow their income, including the Irish Cancer Society and the Society of St Vincent de Paul.
Consumption-based pricing means you only pay when the platform helps you raise money – so there’s no big upfront cost. You can start small, test what works, and scale up once you’re seeing real results. There is more information on pricing on the FRU website.
Schedule a slot with their team to learn more. Alternatively, drop me a line if you’d value an initial conversation to understand if this tool is a good fit for your fundraising programme.
Dataro is a fundraising intelligence platform that helps charities raise more without adding to the workload. It sits on top of your CRM and turns donor data into clear, ranked actions: who to focus on, who to engage right now and what to do next, across appeals, monthly giving, mid-value, major and legacy programs.
Instead of blanket outreach and manual list building, teams use Dataro to shrink audiences, prioritise the donors most likely to give, upgrade or lapse, and send fewer, better-timed asks. You keep control: every recommendation is explainable and tunable.
To get value from Dataro, you’ll need an established donor database to build on. If that sounds like you, visit the Dataro website or reach out to me for a chat to see if it fits where you are in your fundraising journey.
