Federated fundraising is a different job.

Generic donor databases treat a United Way like any other nonprofit. But you run campaigns through employers, fund a network of agencies, and answer to a whole community. Ignite acts like it.

Campaign season without the spreadsheet pile.

Pledge files arrive from every company in a different format. Give at Work runs corporate campaigns end to end, and the Data Import agent maps and validates every file before anything lands.

Designations that reach agencies fast.

Donor choice means thousands of designations to allocate, distribute, and reconcile. Ignite carries each one from gift to general ledger with a full audit trail, so agencies get funds without the wait.

Workplace donors you actually know.

A donor who gives through payroll for ten years deserves more than a line on a pledge form. One record follows the relationship across employers, campaigns, and years.

From pledge files to one live record.

Pledges, agencies, campaigns, and donors stay linked throughout the federated workflow.

Bring everything together

Pledge, campaign, donor, and agency history enter as connected parts of the same federated record. The Data Import agent maps and validates the file, then waits for team approval before import.

See who needs attention

Employer campaign progress, donor designations, and agency relationships stay visible together, including workplace donors who need attention before campaign close.

Act with AI teammates

Corporate-partner briefs and donor outreach begin as drafts tied to the campaign record. Staff reviews outbound copy and configures any record-write gates.

Built for every federated team.

Campaigns, community impact, and finance read the same numbers, so the Monday meeting starts with decisions instead of reconciliation.

  • Give at Work runs corporate campaigns end to end, from pledge capture to donor choice
  • Every pledge lands on the donor's record with the agency designations they chose
  • A sourced brief before every corporate partner meeting
  • Campaign progress by employer in real time, not at year end

Does StratusLIVE work for United Ways?

Yes. StratusLIVE has served United Ways and federated fundraisers for two decades, and the platform carries more than 20 million constituent profiles. Ignite is the newest generation, bringing workplace campaigns, agency designations, volunteers, finance, and community impact onto one platform.

Can Ignite run workplace giving campaigns?

Yes. Give at Work handles corporate campaign setup, pledge processing, multiple payroll schedules, and donor choice, and every pledge lands on the donor's record with the agency designations they chose.

How does Ignite handle donor designations to agencies?

Designations flow from the campaign to Ignite Finance for allocation and distribution, with an audit trail from the original gift to the general ledger. Your agency network lives in Ignite Partnerships, so every distribution ties to a real relationship record.

Can we migrate from Andar or a legacy donor system?

Yes. Guided implementations use AI-assisted data migration and require zero custom code. Your historical campaign, donor, and agency 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.
