What DonorOS is
DonorOS is a web fundraising platform for nonprofit teams working with grants, donors, proposals, workplace giving, and donor journeys. Its AI lead discovery scans data points for supporters and funding matches. Grant Copilot uses live funder guidelines to answer eligibility questions and identify opportunities for programs, while Smart Proposal Drafting draws on an organization’s past successes and outcomes to create proposal drafts in its voice. For workplace giving, the platform identifies matching gifts, notifies donors, and tracks reconciliation, with a database covering more than 20,000 companies. Donor Journey Tracking places interactions, gifts, and touchpoints on one timeline. Five specialized AI agents are described for development, grants, communications, operations, and engagement. Users can set guardrails and choose among six autonomy levels, including approval for high-stakes actions; a dashboard records decisions and actions in an audit trail. Notifications can be sent through Slack, email, SMS, and voice. NorthPath Meridian connects to SaaS platforms through a single REST webhook endpoint. Pricing is available on request.
