Stewardship

Know exactly who to ask,
for how much & when

Full stewardship history

The Ask Panel

See the recommended ask amount for this donor, what it would take to move them into the next tier, and the best time to reach out.

Next best action

See a suggested next step for this donor, such as a call, an impact report, an event invite, or an upgrade ask, along with where they are in their journey.

Capacity signals

See how engaged a donor has been over the last 90 days and whether that's rising or falling, plus an estimate of their giving capacity when it's available.

Stewardship history

See every email, call, and event with this donor in one timeline, along with who on your team owns the relationship and what's already been noted.

Ask amount formulas

A clear formula behind every recommended ask

Defaults your team can adjust, so the recommended amount always has a reason behind it.

Annual renewal

Last gift × 1.25

A straightforward step up from what a donor gave last time.

First upgrade ask

Mid-level threshold × 0.8

A soft ask just below the next tier.

Major gift ask

15% of liquid capacity

For donors with a wealth screening estimate on file.

Lapsed donor

Matches last gift

No upgrade pressure while re-building the relationship.

Built for action

From a signal to a well-timed ask

Stewardship connects the dots between capacity, timing, and outreach so relationships move forward with intention.

Capacity signal rises

A wealth screening update or engagement score increase surfaces a donor as ready for a bigger ask.

FAQ

Common questions about stewardship

It depends on the situation: annual renewals use last gift times 1.25, first upgrade asks use 80% of the next tier's threshold, major gift asks use 15% of estimated capacity, and lapsed donors are asked to match their last gift. Orgs can adjust these multipliers in Settings.
