Planning a campaign, understanding your donor base, or looking for who's ready to give more — each starts from the same simple upload.

Plan a campaign

Gift pyramid

How many gifts at each level it takes to reach your goal, how many prospects you need for each, and where your file comes up short.

You'll need: a campaign goal. Transactions are optional.

Understand your base

Donor pyramid

Where every donor sits today — first-time, annual, recurring, mid-level, major — what each tier gives, and who moved up, down or lapsed.

You'll need: your transactions. Two or more years also shows who moved up, down or lapsed.

True Pyramid

Machine learning groups your donors by how they actually give — how recently, how often, how much — instead of fixed dollar bands, and flags who looks ready for the next tier.

You'll need: your transactions. Three or more years and about 500 donors work best.

  • Tier 1 Gave in the last 3 months · about 2 gifts a year · typical year $6,800 96 donors · 46% of revenue · top tier
  • Tier 2 3–4 gifts a year · typical year $1,450 488 donors · 26% of revenue · 37 ready to move up
  • Tier 3 Gives monthly · typical year $260 1,210 donors · 15% of revenue · 112 ready to move up
  • Tier 4 About 1 gift a year · typical gift $120 3,410 donors · 13% of revenue · 268 ready to move up
  • Tier 5 No gift in the last 18 months 4,666 donors · 0% of revenue · 403 ready to move up
Sample: 9,870 constituents; 820 already give like the tier above.

Three steps. No spreadsheet formulas.

  1. 01Sign inUse your Google or Microsoft account. The first time, confirm your organization's name — that's the whole setup.
  2. 02Choose a pyramidSee a sample of each, what it answers, and exactly what data it needs before you commit.
  3. 03Upload your giftsExport gifts from your CRM with transaction ID, constituent ID, date, amount and type. CSV, Excel or ZIP, up to 2 GB. Extra columns like appeal or fund come along as details; personal info is removed as soon as we read the file.

Your donors stay anonymous.

Five columns are required. Other columns, like appeal or fund, come along as details you can browse later. Anything that looks like personal info — names, emails, phone numbers, addresses — is removed the moment we read your file and is never stored. Your original file is deleted as soon as it's processed.

Constituent IDs stay yours. Export a tier or prospect list and match the IDs back in your own CRM.
