Avid - The Fundraising Operating System

What if your next campaign segment included the people most likely to give?

Treasure Coast Food Bank used Avid’s propensity model to identify donors who looked like past summer-match donors, but hadn’t given to the campaign before.

The result: 103% higher conversion and 88% higher average gift

Same campaign, emails, and donation page.
The difference was who they asked.

Year-end giving season is when segmentation either saves you or buries you.

You've got to put together the right lists of the right donors with the right message, over and over, for weeks.

On September 17, Karina Rodriguez and Nathan Hill are going live to share 7 segments worth your focus this year-end season, plus how to build them faster with an AI assist.

Today, we’re celebrating the nonprofits, volunteers, donors, and communities showing up for what matters. 🫶

Year-end fundraising is more complex than it used to be. More channels, more data, more coordination between online and offline touchpoints, more personalization expected by donors.

That complexity means the teams who start planning now, backed by real data instead of guesswork, are the ones who come out ahead.

This Thursday, our VP of Fundraising Strategy, Karina Rodriguez, and VP of Marketing, Nathan Hill, are hosting a live session on the biggest fundraising trends we're seeing this year and what they mean for your year-end strategy.

You'll walk away with a clearer picture of where things stand and some practical ways to simplify your planning before the year-end crunch hits.

Today we're celebrating the people who show up for missions no matter what.

The fundraisers building relationships one conversation at a time. The ops teams keeping everything running behind the scenes. The volunteers giving their time because they believe in the work. And the donors who make all of it possible.

Happy National Nonprofit Day to everyone doing the real work! You were made for the mission. We're just glad to be part of the rest.

October is too late to start your year-end plan.

Nonprofit teams that see the best year-end results aren't scrambling for data in the fall. They're looking at it now.

On August 20, join Karina Rodriguez and Nathan Hill for a live look at how fundraising has actually performed through the first half of 2026, backed by real-time benchmark data from 1,000+ nonprofits.

You'll walk away knowing:
- What's shifted in fundraising performance this year
- How it compares to Giving USA's latest findings
- What it means for your year-end strategy
- Practical ways to apply it before the year-end crunch hits

Your best fundraiser just spent an hour formatting a spreadsheet instead of talking to a donor.

That's not a staffing problem. That's a system problem.

As fundraising tech has gotten more powerful, it's quietly eaten the hours that used to go into relationships. Segmentation, reporting, admin, more channels to manage. All of it real work. None of it the work that actually raises money.

This new free guide looks at where AI can take work off your plate, where it shouldn't, and how to tell the difference when you're evaluating tools.

Because the point of AI in fundraising isn't automation for its own sake.

It's giving your team back the time to do what only humans can.

Last week our whole Avid crew flew in from across the country for our company update.

It's the first time we've all been in one room in a while, and it was so valuable to spend dedicated time exploring Avid’s vision for the future and how we can better support the causes we work with.

The big goal: less money lost to fundraising costs, more money for the actual mission.

We also made time to connect as a team. We hacked some golf balls at Top Golf and enjoyed some meals and many laughs together.

Anyway, here's the crew! 💪

Fundraising is fundamentally human. So why does it feel like the humans running it are the ones getting left behind?

Campaigns are more complex. Personalization expectations keep climbing. And growth now depends on closing the gap between insight and action faster than ever, which takes more time, more capacity... more everything.

The only way to get ahead of the work is with an AI-enabled fundraising team.

Join Nathan Chappell (Chief AI Officer, Virtuous) and Kevin Peters (Founder & CTO, Avid) for a live discussion on the state of AI in fundraising and discover how the best teams are using it to raise more without losing the human center of their program.

Most fundraising teams know they're leaving opportunities on the table. They just don't have the time to find them.

Edna finds them anyway — surfacing the audience your program needs this month, building it, and handing it to you ready to act on.
