How AI-powered fundraising drives year-end giving

Make every moment count this GivingTuesday and year-end
Year-end isn’t just the most important time for giving, it’s the most important time for building. While many organizations focus on short-term appeals and urgent asks, the real opportunity lies in turning seasonal engagement into long-term relationships.
With Bonterra EveryAction, you can combine AI-powered insights with multichannel outreach and advocacy tools to convert one-time supporters into lifelong donors. And you can do it all without increasing your team’s workload.
This year, make every moment count and make it count well into the new year.
Year-end giving demands smarter strategy, not just more work
Many nonprofits approach GivingTuesday and year-end campaigns feeling rushed. Tight timelines, disconnected systems, and limited staff capacity often lead to campaigns that feel reactive instead of strategic.
But with the right technology, you don’t need more time, you just need better tools.
- Campaigns feel rushed or reactive. Without cross-team alignment or enough time to test and personalize, many campaigns fail to stand out.
- Multichannel outreach is a must. Email-only strategies no longer meet supporter expectations and miss big opportunities. Nonprofits using coordinated email, mobile, and social campaigns see significantly higher gift amounts and retention.
- AI can lighten the load. From audience segmentation to campaign optimization, AI-powered automation helps your team work faster and smarter.
- Disconnected systems create friction. When your CRM, fundraising, and advocacy tools don’t talk to each other, it’s nearly impossible to deliver consistent messaging or act on real-time engagement.
How AI turns one-time actions into lifelong support
Your next major donor might not start with a donation. They might start with a petition signature, a click-to-call advocacy action, an SMS response, or a volunteer opportunity. EveryAction’s AI-powered platform helps you capture these moments and turn them into deeper engagement.
Here’s how:
- Act on engagement in real time. EveryAction tracks supporter activity across channels and uses behavioral signals to trigger personalized follow-ups based on giving history, advocacy behavior, and donor potential.
- Tailor your requests. With AI-Optimized Ask, you can automatically tailor donation requests to each supporter’s giving history. The result? Higher conversion rates and stronger relationships.
- Segment smarter. AI-driven models group supporters based on their likelihood to donate, re-engage, or upgrade, so you can prioritize the right people without the manual lift.
- Automate personalized journeys. Whether it’s a GivingTuesday supporter or a year-end donor, EveryAction builds multi-channel journeys tailored by engagement history, donor type, and more all from one platform.

How EveryAction converts advocacy into giving (and keeps it going)
Year-end campaigns often see a huge spike in supporter engagement, especially through advocacy. But the most successful organizations know how to use that moment not just to inspire action, but to build connection. EveryAction makes it easy.

EveryAction ensures advocacy messages are delivered using the most effective channels, starting with legislators’ website comment forms, then email, then fax leading to a 99.6% delivery rate.
