AI agent for fundraisers
Major Donor Prospect Briefing Agent
Give the officer a sourced one-page brief before each donor meeting
What it does
Before a donor visit, a major gift officer needs a short, accurate brief, but gathering it takes hours. This agent pulls the donor's giving history, past meetings, event attendance, board connections and interests from the database, and searches public foundation filings and news about their philanthropy. It drafts a one-page brief with a suggested ask range: 1.5 to 3 times the largest gift if giving is rising. It then checks every fact has a source and relates to giving; unsourced or unrelated items, such as personal details, are removed, and gaps are searched again or marked unknown. When two records seem to be the same person, it asks before combining them. The officer approves the brief and decides the ask. Edge case: possible duplicate records are never combined without approval.
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.
