About Fundraising KIT
Fundraising KIT is a cloud based platform that helps nonprofits raise more for their cause.
With Fundraising KIT, your nonprofit can increase online donation revenue using tools that help acquire, steward and engage with every donor in your database, so they stay and grow with your organization.
Built by a nonprofit leader for the nonprofit community, our toolkit plugs right into your existing database where our suite of tools identifies supporters that are ready to give, easily segments your donors for targeted communications, and helps you track fundraising progress, all while saving time and resources in the quest to increase revenue.
Organizations using Fundraising KIT increase their revenue by 46% on average in their first year.
How It Started
Fundraising KIT was founded by a passionate team with years of experience building cutting edge software products in both the nonprofit and for profit sectors.
We saw how technology was transforming how the world works, and wanted to know how we could create a solution that enables nonprofits to unlock the potential of their data, better understand their donors, and make an even greater impact for their cause.
