Modern fundraising with Copilot + Agents
Spending too much time updating systems instead of engaging donors can limit impact. This video shows how AI agents support fundraising by capturing updates, managing tasks, and keeping CRM data current after every interaction. Watch the video to learn how this approach improves efficiency and follow-through.
How can Copilot help fundraisers like Henry prepare for donor meetings?
For a fundraiser like Henry at Contoso Cares, Copilot helps turn a cluttered CRM into a practical planning tool.
Instead of manually digging through a “sea of data,” Henry can use Copilot to:
- Surface key donor details from the CRM
- Summarize past interactions and giving history
- Highlight potential interests or programs a donor might care about
This helps him walk into donor meetings better prepared, with clear talking points and context, without spending as much time updating or searching through records.
What are Copilot Agents and how do they streamline nonprofit work?
Copilot Agents are AI-powered helpers that can take on routine, repetitive tasks in a fundraiser’s day.
For someone like Henry, who spends a lot of time updating records in his CRM, Copilot Agents can:
- Automate parts of data entry and record updates
- Help organize and prioritize follow-ups
- Reduce manual steps in common workflows
By offloading these tasks, Copilot Agents free up more time for relationship-building and strategic work, helping fundraisers reshape how they manage their day-to-day activities.
