Turn interest in your mission into first gifts.
Your database is full of people who already know you, such as event guests, volunteers, members and subscribers, but have never given. We call them, start a real conversation and invite them to become donors.
- Warm prospects first
- Talk tracks built on your mission
- Every outcome logged in your CRM
Start with people who already know you.
The best new donors usually come from people who have already engaged with your organization in some way.
Event guests and attendees
People who came to a gala, tour, webinar or community event and haven't yet made a gift.
Volunteers and members
Supporters who give their time or pay dues are often ready to give financially when asked personally.
Newly acquired names
New subscribers, petition signers and other names you've gathered, called while their interest is still fresh.

Our team makes the calls, sends follow-up materials and records each result.
Hand off and welcome

People, not AI. Seasoned members of our team make every call under your organization's name, using talk tracks built around your mission. No pressure tactics.
Why phone outreach works for donor acquisition
Acquisition is the hardest part of fundraising: people who have never given need a reason to start. A phone conversation lets them ask questions, hear a real story and feel personally invited, which a mailing or digital ad can't do. It also tells you, prospect by prospect, who's interested, who isn't and why.
Making first gifts stick
Bringing in a donor only pays off if they give again. We help by:
- Setting clear expectations about how gifts will be used.
- Offering monthly giving where it suits the donor.
- Capturing what each new donor cares about, so your team can thank them personally.
- Flagging prospects with major-gift potential for your development staff.
Where it fits in your program
New donor calling works best alongside your mail, email and events. Many organizations combine it with lapsed donor reactivation so the file grows from both ends, and with event calling that turns attendees into donors after the night is over.
