Every fundraiser knows that adopting new technology comes with a learning curve. You need time to connect your tools, adjust your workflows, and get comfortable with the system.
But here’s the thing about Avid: the wins start almost immediately.
Because Avid isn’t just another platform to manage. It’s a fundraising operating system—one that connects your tools, data, and campaigns into a single, intelligent workflow. That means even in your first weeks, you start seeing real progress.
Here are five quick wins new Avid users are seeing right away in their fundraising.
1. Instant Reporting: From “We Think” to “We Know”
Before Avid, reporting could take hours—or days. Pulling data from multiple platforms, cleaning it, formatting it, and trying to explain what it actually means to your board or leadership team.
Now, Avid’s Fundraising Intelligence does it instantly.
The moment your systems connect, Avid starts analyzing performance across email, ads, donations, and CRM data. It visualizes the story behind the numbers—showing trends, benchmarks, and actionable insights in one place.
Instead of manually building slides before every board meeting, fundraisers simply log in and see their top KPIs already calculated and contextualized.
Quick win: clarity and confidence in reporting—without hours of manual work.

2. Appeal Creation: Generate Fundraising Copy in Seconds
If there’s one thing fundraisers never have enough of, it’s time. Especially when it comes to writing donor communications that inspire action.
With AI-Powered Playbooks, Avid builds entire appeals—emails, landing pages, social copy, even ad headlines—in seconds.
These aren’t random templates or AI guesses. Every recommendation is powered by insights from 7,000+ proven fundraising experiments. Avid identifies your audience, tailors your message, and automatically builds content that’s designed to perform.
Fundraisers can move from idea to launch in minutes instead of days, freeing up time to focus on relationships, not rewrites.
Quick win: a complete, optimized appeal—ready to go live before lunch.

3. Smarter Suppression Lists: Automate What Used to Take Hours
Every fundraiser knows the pain of managing suppression lists: making sure lapsed donors don’t get reactivation emails, or that recent givers aren’t hit with another appeal too soon.
With Avid’s Always-On Data Sync, those lists update automatically—across every platform you use.
That means no more exporting, importing, or second-guessing whether the right audiences are being included or excluded. Avid keeps your segments accurate and your outreach smart, in real time.
Quick win: less manual list work, fewer mistakes, and more relevant campaigns.

4. Acquisition Advertising: Smarter Targeting, Lower Costs
For most nonprofits, acquisition is one of the most expensive parts of fundraising. You’re constantly trying to find new donors who actually care about your mission—and avoid wasting money on audiences that won’t engage.
Avid helps solve that with Precision Donor Outreach. It enriches your ad targeting with real-time donor insights, automatically identifying the most likely new supporters based on patterns in your existing data.
The result? More efficient ad spend, better-quality leads, and lower acquisition costs—without guessing or constant manual optimization.
Quick win: improved ad performance and measurable savings—right out of the gate.

5. Planning and Forecasting: Better Strategy with Predictive Analytics
Traditional fundraising planning often relies on last year’s numbers and gut instinct. But what if your system could accurately predict how your strategy will impact results?
Avid’s Fundraising Scorecard does exactly that.
First, Avid looks at your current performance to help you instantly see the health of your most important metrics:
- Acquisition
- Retention
- Reactivation
- Upgrade
Using your historical performance, Avid can then predict exactly where your revenue will end up at the end of the year—as well as over the next 3 years.
But better strategy requires you to know where to focus next.
Avid’s predictive analytics help you make an accurate annual plan—showing you the revenue impact of various strategies over time.
Quick win: real-time forecasting that helps you prioritize the strategies with the highest impact.
