You spend the year giving money away carefully. Someone had to raise it first, and until now that happened somewhere else entirely, on another team, in another system, reconciled by hand at year end. Donor management and fundraising now live in the system that runs the awards.

Find the donors, make the ask, take the gift, and show them what it paid for. Phoenix writes the outreach, the thank-you and the impact report, and sends on the terms you set.
Relationships
Who you are getting to know, who has been asked, who gave, and who is owed a thank you. Fundraising moves at the pace of relationships, and this is the board that keeps track of them without anyone maintaining a spreadsheet on the side.
When a fund comes together, you choose which of these donors it draws from, so the fund and the relationships behind it stay connected.

Add to fund budgetThe ask
You do not have to start from a blank page. Phoenix writes the note for each donor from their own giving history and the research it gathered, with the figures exactly as reported and no recipient ever named. Ask for it warmer, shorter, or led with this year’s students, and it rewrites.
Write to the right people rather than everyone, and see exactly who will receive it before it goes.

Review Phoenix’s outreach beside its research. Nothing sends until you approve it.

A thank-you, and what came next
Dear Lena,
Your gift to STEM Advancement in March went further than you might expect. This year the fund awarded 12 scholarships to first-generation students, and every one of them is enrolled for the fall.
…
Figures stay exactly as reported; recipients are never named.
Campaigns and gifts
Publish a campaign with your story, your goal and your progress, and let people give in a few taps, once or every month. Each gift lands against the fund it was given to, so the campaign and the program it pays for stay connected.
Illustration of campaigns: each with its status, progress toward goal, goal and end date, and beneath them the recurring gifts that are running.

Reconciliation
Card gifts arrive as payouts, and each payout is matched to the gifts behind it, gross to net. Year end starts from matched records instead of a spreadsheet.

Impact
The gift funds an award, the award goes to someone, and that outcome is already in your reports. Open a donor and the impact report is waiting, showing what the funds they support awarded by academic year, in counts and totals only, with no student ever named. Send it as it is, or turn it into a draft and have Phoenix rewrite it in the tone you want.
The next ask can point to what the last gift did.

AI agent · Donor Outreach
The lapsed donor worth a note, the first-time gift that deserves a thank-you, the stalled conversation ready for a nudge. The Donor Outreach Agent finds them, writes the outreach from real giving history, and sends it on the schedule and the rules you set, or holds every draft for a person to approve first.
Prospects
CommunityForce reads IRS 990 filings, the public record of what every grantmaking foundation holds and gives, and brings back who they are, what they have paid out, and why Phoenix thinks they fit your work. Every match links to its source filing, and you decide who is worth approaching.
A student who graduated because of a scholarship, a grant that hit every milestone, a program that doubled the people it reached: that is what moves a donor to give again, and it has been sitting in a system your fundraising side could not reach. Now it is the same system.
