“Martijn and the team understood, in part because of their personal exposure to people with disabilities, not only how important our work is but also how to approach the wording and tone of our donation campaign outreach. We now have that process almost fully automated.
They're some of the kindest people I've met in a crowded space where there's a lot of noise.”
The problem
This nonprofit, led by its founder, had plateaued in donations for four years running, despite a mission built around expanding understanding and access for people with disabilities and chronic illness. The core problem was finding donors in the first place, and once found, structuring the ask so that giving felt as easy and as clearly tax-advantaged as it actually is.
The solution
Eclipse built the organization an agentic donor-development system on Claude. The system researches and identifies prospective donors matching the organization's mission and giving capacity, pulls together what's known about their giving history and likely interest, and drafts a personalized outreach message that leads with the tax-deductible nature of the gift, ready for the founder to review and send. Everything routes through an accessible CRM, so the system fits how the organization already tracks relationships rather than replacing it.
The impact
The organization now has a steady pipeline of donor prospects it would never have found by hand, each with outreach already drafted and ready to go, moving it toward its $5 million target.
