Tribute and memorial giving, done right.
A gift made in memory or in honor carries who it honors and why. That context stays on the record, so the acknowledgement is personal and the family stays close to the mission.

Every gift to the cause carries a story.
People give to a disease or research foundation for a reason: someone they love, someone they lost, a fight they are still in. That reason is the relationship. When it lives in a spreadsheet, the connection fades. Ignite keeps the story on the record.
Every gift tied to the work it funds.
Gifts tie to the fund, program, or research area they support and flow to Ignite Finance with an audit trail from the original gift to the general ledger. Donors see exactly where their support goes.
Show progress toward the breakthrough.
Dashboards read gifts and program data in real time, so donors and boards see momentum toward the goal instead of a year-end recap. The next ask starts from progress, not a reset.
From scattered tools to one live record.
Tributes, gifts, and events stay connected from import through the next donor touch.
Bring everything together
Tributes and fund designations move with the gifts and event history they explain. The Data Import agent maps and validates the file, then waits for your team to approve the import.
See who needs attention
See campaign progress beside event participation, sustainer risk, and major-gift potential while there is still time to act.
Act with AI teammates
The next major-gift step, lapsing-donor outreach, and tribute acknowledgement begin as drafts. Your team reviews every draft before it goes out.
Built for every team behind the cause.
Development, events, and finance read the same numbers, so support adds up across every campaign instead of living in separate tools.

- Major Gift surfaces the next step with each prospect and drafts it

Direct answers.
Book a working sessionDoes StratusLIVE work for disease and research foundations?
Yes. StratusLIVE has served health causes and research-funding nonprofits for two decades, and the platform carries more than 20 million constituent profiles. Ignite is the newest generation, bringing events, tribute giving, donor relationships, restricted funds, and finance onto one platform.
Can Ignite handle tribute and memorial gifts?
Yes. A gift made in memory or in honor carries the honoree and the reason on the donor record, so acknowledgements are personal and the honored family stays connected to the mission. Tribute giving reads the same record fundraising and finance use.
Can we track gifts to specific research funds?
Yes. Gifts tie to the fund, program, or research area they support, and flow to Ignite Finance with an audit trail from the original gift to the general ledger, so you can show donors exactly where their support goes.
Can Ignite run our walks, rides, and runs?
Yes. Peer-to-peer and do-it-yourself fundraising, event registration, and flexible giving run on the platform, with team pages and individual fundraisers. Every registration and gift lands on the constituent record.
Is the AI extra?
No. AI teammates are included in every Ignite subscription. There is no premium intelligence tier. The AI reads your records and prepares the work. Nothing goes out to a donor, and nothing changes in a record, until someone on your team approves it. Every step is logged.
