Keep your sustainers.
Monthly donors carry a food bank through summer and January alike. Ignite watches for the giving patterns that signal risk and drafts the outreach that keeps them, before they lapse.
Food Banks & Human Services
See the whole operation.Feed more neighbors.
StratusLIVE Ignite gives food banks and human services organizations one platform for donors, food and fund drives, volunteers, and finance, with AI teammates included in every subscription. Nothing goes out to a donor, and nothing changes in a record, until your team approves it.
30 minutes, live in Ignite, on a workflow you choose. No slide deck.
- Two decades serving nonprofits
- Zero custom code implementations
- AI teammates in every subscription

Built for the way food banks actually run.
Donors in one system, volunteers in another, drives in a third. Ignite puts the whole operation on one constituent record, so a lean team can see everything and act on what matters.
See the whole supporter.
The person sorting cans on Saturday is also a donor and an advocate. Volunteer hours, event signups, and gifts land on the same record, so every relationship shows up whole.
Run every drive from one place.
Corporate food drives, workplace giving, peer-to-peer campaigns, and holiday appeals share one platform and one live view of results. No more stitching totals together by hand.
From scattered systems to one live record.
Monday starts with one current view of donors, volunteers, and drives.
Bring everything together
Bring giving, volunteer, and drive history across without hand-mapping every column. The Data Import agent maps and validates the file; your team approves it before import.
See who needs attention
The Monday view pairs corporate pipeline and drive progress with the sustainers who need attention, so the team starts with decisions.
Act with AI teammates
Thank-yous, retention outreach, and meeting briefs arrive ready for staff review. Your team reviews every draft before it goes out.
One platform. Every seat at the table.
Development, programs, and finance read the same numbers, so Monday meetings start with decisions instead of reconciliation.
- A live picture of every donor, from monthly gifts to volunteer shifts
- Retention flags at-risk sustainers and drafts the outreach to keep them
- A sourced brief before every corporate partner meeting
- Campaign and drive results in real time, not at month end
