An AI second opinion on the forecast, not a replacement for yours
The split revenue picture
Giving happens in one system. The pipeline lives in another.
A giving platform here, a spreadsheet there, and a CRM that hears about both later. Nobody sees the real number until the board asks for it.
02
Pipeline by spreadsheet
Every gift type has its own informal system, so the real pipeline exists only in the VP’s head and a workbook that is out of date by Tuesday.
03
Reviews that eat a day
Preparing for a pipeline review means reconciling five sources by hand, so the meeting is about the spreadsheet instead of the donors.
From first gift to major gift.
Donation pages, donor experiences, and the opportunity pipeline run on the same live constituent record, so acquisition and stewardship stop being separate systems.

A pipeline that prepares your team.
The major-gift pipeline does more than track stages. It scores, briefs, and nudges, so no gift officer walks into a conversation cold.
One pipeline, five gift types
Individual, planned, grant, sponsorship, and workplace campaign opportunities move through a Kanban pipeline with stage transitions, team credit, goal planning, and stewardship plans. Won and Lost are explicit outcomes, with received amounts rolled up from finalized gifts.
Prepared briefs on every card
AI probability scoring on every card, persisted briefs, and recommended next actions give every gift officer the preparation of a research team.
Research flows into the pipeline
Prospect Research briefs persist as research records and move through a research queue with a two-gate qualification workflow, so a qualified prospect opens as a research-stage opportunity assigned to a fundraiser.
A day that starts focused
A personalized Today dashboard opens with context and the day’s priorities, so the first hour goes to donors instead of triage.
AI probability scoring
Every opportunity carries a score, so instinct gets a second opinion.
AI activity parsing
Type a note and Ignite turns it into a structured, logged activity.
Pipeline duration alerts
Stage-staleness detection flags the opportunities going quiet.

Questions
Asked by every team that switches.
Direct answers, because you’ve sat through enough vendor slides.
Book a working sessionWhat gift types does the pipeline manage?
Five: individual, planned, grant, sponsorship, and workplace campaign, each with type-appropriate handling, from grant compliance calendars to sponsorship fair-market-value treatment. Kanban visualization, stage transitions, AI probability scoring, goals, and stewardship tracking work across all of them.
How fast can we publish a donation page?
Minutes, not a web-team ticket. The page builder generates on-brand content with AI, and every page sits in a working list with its raised total and published or draft status, so your team runs every page from one list.
What choices do donors get when they give?
One-time, monthly, or quarterly giving with suggested amounts and a custom field, tribute and memorial dedications, donor-covered fees, and anonymous giving. Payments run through Stripe, PayPal, and ACH, with Apple Pay and Google Pay available through FundraiseUp-powered giving.
How do received amounts get onto opportunities?
Gift entry attributes gifts to opportunities directly, with received-amount rollups and Closed-Won handling, so the pipeline reflects processed gifts rather than a fundraiser’s manual estimate. Won and Lost are explicit outcome stages, and close and reopen actions are audited.
How does goal planning work?
Set fiscal-year and by-quarter goals through a guided flow, then track attainment, pacing, and variance on a performance dashboard. Named scenario projections hold a conservative, likely, and optimistic band side by side, so the plan and its range live in the same place.
What does stewardship look like after the gift?
Stewardship plans build from donor-tier templates, principal gifts through micro-level, each with milestones that generate fundraiser tasks, reminders, and overdue escalation. A plan can start in one click when a qualifying gift or pledge posts, and completion and renewal reporting show whether the stewardship actually happened.
What happens between a research brief and a real opportunity?
Prospect Research briefs persist as research records and work through a research queue with a two-gate qualification workflow: an entry gate into research and an exit gate into the pipeline. A qualified prospect is assigned to a fundraiser and opens as a research-stage opportunity, so research flows straight into cultivation.
Which agents work the pipeline?
Prospect Research, Major Gift, and Retention read opportunity and constituent context to research prospects, prepare cultivation strategy, and flag at-risk relationships. Agents propose; writes go through per-agent permission levels and approval gates your team configures.
