AI agent for fundraisers
Funder Relationship and Stewardship Agent
Regular, accurate funder updates that go out on a schedule, and no funder goes unthanked or unheard
What it does
Funders often hear from an organization only when it asks for money. This agent tracks every touchpoint with each funder, report dates and giving history. It flags funders with no recent contact and drafts short update notes that use real outcomes from approved sources. It checks every fact in a draft against the source data. After sends, it records the contact and rechecks the funder's touch schedule. The director approves each message. Edge case: a funder has an open application, so the agent holds a general update to avoid confusion and flags it for the director.
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.

- Thank for gifts within 3 days
