From smarter checkout to entirely new ways to give

Fundraise Up uses AI to improve every donation experience and create entirely new fundraising moments, helping more donors discover and support your mission.

Fundraise Up first applied AI to one of the most important moments in fundraising: the moment someone decides to donate.

By personalizing the ask and removing friction from checkout, we proved that better donor experiences lead to better fundraising results.

Now, we are bringing that same intelligence to more of the donor journey, helping people discover causes, start fundraisers, create compelling appeals, and support missions wherever giving happens.

AI will continue to change. Our goal will not:

Make it easier for every person who wants to help to take action.

AI for every fundraising moment

Launch giving experiences that were not possible before AI. Bring intelligence to every fundraising moment, improve performance today, and unlock new ways to raise more.

FAQ

How does Fundraise Up use AI?

Fundraise Up uses several types of AI across the fundraising experience. Machine learning helps personalize and optimize donor journeys, while generative AI can help fundraisers create content and complete tasks. We're also building technology for emerging AI-assisted and agentic giving experiences.

Everything serves the same purpose: making fundraising easier and helping more donor intent turn into support for your mission.

How does AI personalize the donation experience?

Fundraise Up's models can use contextual signals such as device, location, behavior, timing, and historical giving patterns to make decisions during the donor journey. This can include selecting suggested donation amounts and determining recurring giving opportunities.

How does AI improve fundraising performance?

Fundraise Up uses AI to optimize for the full value of the donor relationship, not just donation conversion. Models can influence how much donors give, whether they give once or regularly, when they see an upsell, and how their support grows over time.

What is Agentic Giving?

Agentic Giving is an emerging model where donors can ask AI assistants to discover causes, evaluate organizations, and eventually help complete donations on their behalf. Fundraise Up is building the infrastructure nonprofits need to participate in this new donor journey.

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol, or MCP, is a standard that allows AI assistants to securely connect with other software and take supported actions. For nonprofits, that creates the possibility of working with fundraising technology through an AI assistant.

Fundraise Up MCP lets you connect AI assistants like ChatGPT or Claude directly to Fundraise Up. Once connected, you can ask questions about donations, recurring plans, campaigns, designations, and fundraising totals in plain language without exporting data or querying an API. Access is read-only and respects each user’s existing Fundraise Up permissions.

How do AI assistants discover our organization?

AI assistants rely on structured, accessible information to understand organizations and their fundraising opportunities. Fundraise Up provides technology that makes nonprofit information and giving experiences easier for AI agents to discover, interpret, and act on.

Is donor data used to train AI models?

Fundraise Up develops its fundraising models with privacy and security in mind. Our AI uses numerous non-personally identifiable signals to optimize donor experiences, rather than relying on personally identifiable donor information to make recommendations.

Do we need technical resources to use the AI features?

No. Fundraise Up’s AI is built directly into the platform and designed to work behind the scenes. Nonprofits can benefit from sophisticated optimization without building models, managing data science teams, or continually running their own experiments.

Will AI replace fundraisers?

That's not what we're building for.

The most valuable work nonprofit teams do, such as understanding communities, building relationships, telling meaningful stories, and deciding where to focus, remains human.

We see AI as a way to remove work around that work: optimizing donation experiences, helping supporters start campaigns, analyzing information, and handling repetitive tasks so nonprofit teams can spend more time moving their mission forward.
