Your patron is a subscriber, a member, and a donor.

Arts organizations know the same person three times: the one who buys a season, the one who renews a membership, and the one who gives at year end. When those live in separate systems, the relationship never adds up. Ignite makes it one record.

One patron, not three systems.

Membership, giving, and event history land on the same record. The person who renews every fall and gives every spring is one relationship, so every ask and every thank-you knows the whole story.

The personal touch your patrons expect.

Acknowledgements, renewal reminders, and invitations send automatically, personalized and segmented from live donor profiles. Communications that used to take months now go out on time, without the list-wrangling.

Memberships that renew on time.

Renewal dates and membership levels live on the record. Ignite watches for members about to lapse and drafts the outreach to bring them back, before the season turns over.

From standalone tools to one live record.

Patron history becomes a working record for the next renewal, visit, or acknowledgement.

Bring everything together

Start with the patron record you already have. Ignite brings membership, giving, and donor history together; the Data Import agent maps and validates the file, and your team approves it before anything lands.

See who needs attention

A single view shows the patron whose membership lapsed, the subscriber whose giving is growing, and the prospect ready for an officer. It updates with the record throughout the season.

Act with AI teammates

Renewal reminders, acknowledgements, and meeting briefs arrive as drafts for staff review. Your team configures any record-write gates.

Built for every team behind the season.

Development, marketing, and finance read the same numbers, so patron relationships add up across the season instead of living in separate tools.

  • A live picture of every patron, from members to major donors
  • Retention flags members about to lapse and drafts the outreach to keep them
  • A sourced brief before every major-gift and sponsor meeting
  • Annual fund and gala results in real time, not at season end

Does StratusLIVE work for arts and cultural organizations?

Yes. StratusLIVE has served arts and cultural nonprofits for two decades, and the platform carries more than 20 million constituent profiles. Ignite is the newest generation, bringing memberships, patron communications, events, giving, and finance onto one platform.

Can Ignite manage memberships and renewals?

Membership levels and renewal dates live on the patron record. Renewal reminders and acknowledgements run as automated, personalized communications from Ignite Marketing, segmented from live profiles, and the Retention agent flags members about to lapse and drafts the outreach to keep them.

Can we personalize patron communications at scale?

Yes. Ignite Marketing builds audiences from live donor profiles and sends personalized, segmented communications, so acknowledgements and renewals that once took months go out on time. Every send reads the same record fundraising and finance use.

Can we migrate from a legacy CRM or donor system?

Yes. Guided implementations use AI-assisted data migration and require zero custom code. Your historical donor, membership, and giving data moves onto one live record.

Is the AI extra?

No. AI teammates are included in every Ignite subscription. There is no premium intelligence tier. Agents are read-only by default, your team configures write gates, and outbound communication waits for approval before it sends.
