A line shows gifts moving from Outlook through Excel into Raiser’s Edge. Three markers show repetitive work the agent would find: Gift batches retyped by hand, New donors checked for duplicates and Deposits reconciled by hand.

  • Repetitive work

Where we start

Your software already knows how your organization works.

Every gift, pledge and deposit leaves a trail in your tools. We start there, with the people who do the work.

Examples of the software nonprofits run, not a list of integrations: Raiser’s Edge NXT, Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud, Bloomerang, DonorPerfect, Little Green Light, Neon CRM, QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, Outlook, Gmail, Excel, Google Sheets, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, Google Drive, Asana, Givebutter, GoFundMe Pro, Donorbox, Stripe, PayPal, Benevity, OneCause, Mailchimp, and in-house tools.

Follow a gift batch

Gifts in. Drafts ready. Your team commits.

With the automation on, checks, online gifts and grant letters become draft gift records and thank-you letters in the tools you already use. Your staff reviews every one.

  1. Today

    Every gift, typed and thanked by hand.

  2. Match

    Each gift, matched to its donor.

  3. Draft

    A draft batch and draft thank-yous.

  4. Review

    Your team commits the batch.

Illustrative workflow. Donors, funds and amounts are fictional.

The automation prepares.
Your team decides.

Kestrel is meant for the administrative steps around a gift. Decisions about people, programs and funding stay with your team.

The automation

  • Reads checks, online gifts, grant letters and stock notices
  • Proposes the donor record for each gift
  • Drafts gift entries and thank-yous from your templates
  • Ties the batch out to the bank deposit

Your team

  • Merging or editing donor records
  • Fund restrictions and stock values
  • Anything sent to a donor or posted to the books
  • Program, eligibility and funding decisions

A good fit if

  • Gifts arrive by check, online platforms, donor-advised funds or stock
  • Your donor database and accounting are separate, and someone reconciles them
  • Someone already reviews batches before they're committed

Probably not yet if

  • The work involves client, case or health records
  • You want grants or appeals written for you
  • You need a production integration with a specific system today
