AI agent for fundraisers
Donor Stewardship Touch Plan Agent
Every top donor gets a timely, relevant touch each quarter
What it does
Top donors expect to feel known, but contacts happen when someone remembers. This agent reads gift history and past contacts for the top donors each month and finds who has not had a meaningful touch in too long, such as a personal call, a thank-you or an invitation. It builds a stewardship plan with specific touches: a call after a large gift, an impact update tied to their interest, an event invitation. It checks completion in the contact log and re-plans for those missed. It also notes sensitive situations such as a recent complaint. The fundraiser approves the plan and each message. Edge case: a donor gave a major gift last week, so the agent plans a thank-you call first.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
Read the steps as a list
- Monthly plan begins
- Load top donors, gifts and contact history
- Find donors with no meaningful touch in 90 days or a recent major gift
- Choose a touch type for each based on interests and gift size
- Is the touch relevant and free of recent complaints or opt-outs?If not: revise the touch or hold it and note the reason. Back to step 4.
- Draft calls, notes and invitations
- Fundraiser approves the plan and each messageThe agent waits here for your OK.
- Track completion in the contact log
- Were all planned touches done by month end?If not: re-plan missed ones for next month. Back to step 2.
- Stewardship plan and completion record
How it decides
A donor needs a touch when no personal contact appears for 90 days, or sooner after a major gift. The type of touch follows their interests and past response.
- Plan a touch after 90 days with no personal contact
- Plan a thank-you call within 3 days of a major gift
- Respect contact preferences and opt-outs
- Match the touch to the donor's stated interest
