Never miss a donor or volunteer call. Capture every mission-critical connection 24/7 while saving 80% on reception costs.
Every missed call could be a major donor or volunteer
Your team is running programs, in board meetings, or helping beneficiaries. A major donor calls with a £10,000 gift opportunity but reaches voicemail. They donate elsewhere. Nonprofits miss many donor calls - each potentially worth thousands to your mission. You can't afford dedicated reception on your budget.
Someone passionate about your cause calls to volunteer. They get voicemail during your busy program hours. 73% won't call back - they'll volunteer elsewhere. You lose 20-30 potential volunteers monthly because you can't answer during service delivery. Each volunteer represents 100+ hours of free help annually.
Your helpline supports vulnerable people who need immediate help. But you can't staff phones overnight or weekends on a nonprofit budget. many crisis calls happen after-hours. People in need can't wait until 9am Monday. Every missed call could be someone desperately needing your services.

Good afternoon! Thank you for calling Hope Foundation. How can I help make a difference today?
Hi, I heard about your literacy program on the radio. I'd like to learn more and possibly make a donation.
That's wonderful! Our Adult Literacy Initiative has helped over 2,000 adults learn to read this year. Are you interested in supporting the program through a donation, or would you also like to know about volunteer tutoring opportunities?
Both actually. What's the impact of different donation levels?
I'm happy to share that! £50 provides learning materials for one student for a month. £250 sponsors a student through our complete 6-month program. £1,000 funds an entire classroom for a term. We also have monthly giving options starting at £15 that provide sustained support. Which would you like to explore?
The £250 option sounds good. Can I designate it specifically for the literacy program?
Absolutely! All designated gifts are restricted to the program you specify. I can email you a secure donation link right now where you can select the Adult Literacy Initiative, or I can schedule a callback with our development team if you'd prefer to discuss planned giving or employer matching options. What works best for you?
The email link would be perfect. And what about volunteering?
Excellent! For our volunteer tutor program, we have a 2-hour orientation next Saturday at 10am, or the following Wednesday at 6pm. Tutors commit to one hour weekly, and we provide all training and materials. May I register you for one of these orientations?

It hands the call to a person, straight away. Distress wording, safeguarding concerns and anything a service user says about their own case are set to break out of the automated flow before the assistant tries to answer. In office hours that means a transfer to whoever is on the duty rota. Out of hours it plays the message your team has written for that situation, including the crisis line you want people pointed to, takes a callback number and marks it urgent for the safeguarding lead. It does not triage and it does not ask probing questions.
No card details are ever spoken to the assistant. For a one off gift it sends a secure payment link by text or email and the donor completes it on your own donation page, which keeps card data off the call and out of any recording. Regular giving works in a similar way. The assistant can log what the supporter wants, an amount change, a pause or a cancellation, confirm the contact details it holds and pass that to the fundraising team, but the Direct Debit mandate itself is amended by your team or your provider.
It takes the details and hands them to your legacy team rather than trying to answer. Someone ringing about a gift in memory of a person is not walked through a menu. The assistant takes the name of the person being remembered, whether the family would like an in memoriam page or collection envelopes, and how they prefer to be contacted, then books a call back. Enquiries about leaving a gift in a will, and solicitors ringing about an estate, go the same way. It does not comment on wording, executors or what a will should say.
Join nonprofits that never miss a donor call and maximize every opportunity to make a difference.
