Voice-first fundraising

Fundraising, one conversation at a time.

Fern is the voice-driven coach for nonprofit development teams. Tell it your goal, and it researches donors, drafts outreach, and surfaces the single next action, so you stay focused on relationships, not spreadsheets.

Built for voice. No dashboards to learn.

Fern: “Hi, I’m Fern. What would you like to focus on today?”

Grounded in public IRS 990 data: ~128,000 private foundations, ~3 million grants, ~90,000 funders.
Why Fern

A coach, not a database.

Most fundraising tools bury you in fields and filters. Fern does the opposite, it listens, thinks alongside you, and asks for one decision at a time.

It listens

Speak naturally about your goals, your donors, your week. Fern understands context and remembers what matters.

It coaches

Fern researches prospects, suggests the right move, and drafts the email, then explains its reasoning so you stay in control.

It acts

Approve with your voice. Fern sends, logs the interaction, and schedules the follow-up. Nothing falls through.

Donor intelligence

Know every donor, without the digging.

Ask Fern about anyone in your portfolio and hear what matters, relationship strength, capacity, interests, and the right next step. The facts you need, nothing you don’t.

  • Capacity & giving history at a glance
  • Relationship signals and shared interests
  • Always a clear, suggested next move

The full record, only when you ask.

The deep data is always there, giving history, every interaction, notes and tasks. But it stays out of your way until you say “show me the full picture.”

  • Complete giving & interaction timeline
  • Summoned by voice, dismissed in a tap
  • Syncs the moves Fern makes for you

How it works

Three steps. All by voice.

1

Tell Fern your goal

Set the focus for your day or your quarter. Fern listens and reflects back what it heard.

“Increase major gifts by $2M.”
2

Fern does the homework

It researches prospects, surfaces the right donor, and proposes the next move with its reasoning.

“Paul’s ready for an ask, here’s a draft.”
3

Approve and move on

Say the word and Fern sends, logs the interaction, and sets your follow-up. Done.

“Sent. I’ll remind you in May.”
Fern remembers every name, every gift, and every next step, so your time goes to the relationships instead of the record keeping.
