## Problem

Each fundraiser has too many donors to keep in touch with, so mid-level donors get forgotten.

## How to do this

1. Gravyty Raise (no public price, talk to sales)
2. Your donor database
3. A fundraiser who edits and sends each email

## Verdict

The fundraiser still sends the email, and more donors hear from them.

## Tools

- [Gravyty Raise](https://gravyty.com/): Flags the next donor and drafts the email for the fundraiser to send


## Result

After just one year: 69 new gifts, for a total of $1.2 million. The added revenue came from more fundraiser outreach prompted by Raise. "With 20,000 donors, which we have now, we can't reach all of them. With Raise, it gives us a way to make those contacts more consistent. It helps increase our productivity as fundraisers."
