AI-Powered Fundraising, Made for Humans: Introducing Raisely AI Solutions
Published
July 14, 2026
Every groundbreaking fundraising campaign is fueled by two distinct forces: the deeply human passion for a cause, and the operations running behind the scenes.
But for most nonprofit teams, a frustrating digital divide exists. Campaign managers routinely find themselves trapped in the role of data analyst, and fundraisers are forced to act as web developers. This diverts precious hours away from the real work of building community and driving impact.
The nonprofit sector is currently standing at an AI crossroads. According to TechSoup’s State of AI in Nonprofits 2025 Benchmark Report—which surveyed over 1,300 nonprofit professionals—47% of fundraisers see AI as their single biggest digital opportunity. Yet, a stark digital divide remains, as 92% of nonprofits feel completely unprepared for effective AI integration and lack accessible, easy-to-use tools to unlock it.
We believe it's time to bridge that gap.
“We are thrilled to unveil Raisely’s AI Solutions. We aren't introducing AI for the sake of a trend,” says Marcus Alley, VP of Product and Data. “What have built is purposeful, human-centered technology directly into the core of Raisely to serve as a catalyst for fundraising operations.”
Our goal with AI in Raisely is straightforward: provide instant insights, impactful personalization, and faster campaign building so you can move toward confident decision-making and fundraising execution, with efficiency.
Here is how we are pairing the heart of your cause with the intelligence of AI to handle the heavy lifting.
We are introducing two brand-new, AI-powered fundraising tools to the Raisely platform, alongside our existing suite of intelligent optimization features.
The Raisely AI Assistant is an in-product chatbot built directly into your admin dashboard. Think of it as a knowledgeable teammate who knows your campaign data inside and out.
Instead of spending hours wrangling data or trying to build complex custom reports, you can simply type a question and get an instant answer.
“How many fundraisers signed up over the weekend?”
“Did our recurring gifts increase since last Tuesday?”
Built-in prompts guide you directly to the insights that help you make fast fundraising decisions, helping you uncover the "why" behind your numbers so you can protect your momentum. You can activate the AI Assistant in your Raisely Admin Settings at any time.

For teams and agencies looking for a technical shortcut to build campaign pages, we’ve built the first fundraising platform connection to Claude and Cursor. These optional beta plug-ins are best suited for developers, agencies, and technically confident teams that are comfortable reviewing and troubleshooting AI-assisted outputs.

For access to our Claude Connector, reach out to our Product Team.
While our AI Assistant and Connectors are launching in beta, they join our existing, powerful machine-learning solution: Intelligent Amounts.
Setting suggested donation amounts is a delicate science. If they are too low, you miss out on critical funding. If they are too high, you discourage vital grass-roots donors.
Intelligent Amounts dynamically presents personalized giving prompts that adapt to each individual donor. It lifts overall revenue seamlessly and encourages supporters to give generously on an emotional level, without ever feeling pressured.
We know that the fundraising technology market is shifting.
Legacy solutions have let their technology become dated and complex. Nonprofits want AI that amplifies, rather than replaces, human effort.
Because this is a beta launch, the Raisely AI Assistant is currently free for Raisely customers to use if they choose. The Claude and Cursor Connectors are also free to use with Raisely, though they require an active Claude and/or Cursor account. Right now, our focus is on putting these tools into your hands so we can learn from real fundraising workflows and continue improving the experience.
A note on beta: Raisely AI Assistant and our Claude and Cursor Connectors are live in beta, which means they’re ready for you to use and still actively improving. You may occasionally run into minor issues, incomplete outputs, or answers that need review. That’s part of the beta process, and your feedback will help us make these tools more accurate, useful, and impactful for nonprofit teams.
Turn your data into a story you can hear, and start building faster today.
