The intake problem in nonprofits
- Donor enquiries mix giving intent with program questions and event RSVPs in a single email
- Volunteer applications arrive in inconsistent formats with availability and skills buried in paragraphs
- Grant correspondence contains compliance deadlines and reporting requirements scattered across threads
- Small teams juggle intake across donors, volunteers, beneficiaries, and partners with no automation
