Today, we’re thrilled to share that Avid has raised a $6.5 million seed round led by Silverton Partners to accelerate our mission of helping nonprofits plan, personalize, and deploy fundraising campaigns faster.
This investment marks an important milestone for Avid—not just as a company, but as a movement toward a more connected, intelligent, and actionable approach to fundraising.
Why we exist
At Avid, we exist to help fundraisers accelerate their mission.
Fundraising is one of the most mission-critical functions in the world—yet it’s been held back for decades by tools that don’t work together. Most teams are forced to stitch together donor data, analytics, and execution across disconnected systems, losing time, clarity, and opportunities along the way.
The result? Fundraisers spend more time managing tools than moving their mission forward.
Avid was built to change that.
We’re creating the first AI-powered Fundraising Operating System—a system that unifies data, insights, and campaign execution so fundraisers can move from information to impact without friction.
What this means
This new funding allows us to expand our team and accelerate innovation across product, AI, and customer experience—continuing to build toward the future of fundraising: faster, smarter, and built around the people doing the work.
Already, Avid is helping leading nonprofits across the U.S. turn donor data into action in minutes instead of months—and this is only the beginning.
From our leadership
Avid’s leadership team has spent decades inside fundraising—seeing firsthand what works, what breaks, and what’s possible when everything finally works together.
“We’re rebuilding fundraising from the ground up—putting strategy and execution on demand for every nonprofit team. This funding allows us to expand that vision and empower more organizations to act faster and fundraise smarter.”
Ray Gary, CEO, Avid
“After years of watching nonprofit teams wrestle with the same data and execution challenges again and again, I wanted to create something fundamentally better. Avid closes the loop between insight and action so fundraisers can focus less on managing tools—and more on driving impact.”
Kevin Peters, Founder & CTO, Avid

A partnership for growth
We’re proud to have the support of Silverton Partners, one of the most respected early-stage investors in Texas.
“Nonprofits are under increasing pressure to do more with less, and Avid gives them the system to do exactly that. The Avid team understands the complexity of fundraising at a deep level, and their approach to harnessing new advances in AI to unify data, intelligence, and automation is both timely and transformative.
Rob Taylor, Partner at Silverton Partners
We’re thrilled to partner with them as they redefine what’s possible in this sector.”
Looking ahead
This moment is about more than funding—it’s about possibility. The chance to build a system that truly empowers fundraisers, unites data and strategy, and helps more mission-driven organizations do what they were made to do.
We couldn’t be more grateful to our early customers, partners, and team who have believed in the vision from the start.
Here’s to what’s next.
