What is Avid?
Fundraisers want to grow, but scattered data and manual tasks slow them down. Their tools track activity—but they don’t work together, and they don’t drive action.
Avid is the first-ever Fundraising Agency in the Cloud.
It unifies your donor data, surfaces your best opportunities, and launches campaigns automatically—so you can spend less time managing tools and more time growing relationships.
Avid isn’t just smarter software. It’s a smarter system.
How is Avid different from a CRM or BI tool?
No—Avid isn’t here to replace your CRM or email tool. It works with what you already use.
Most CRMs store data. Automation tools send messages.
Avid connects your data, strategy, and execution—so you don’t just track activity. You act on it.
Do I need to replace my current tools?
No. Avid integrates with your CRM, email platform, analytics, and donation tools.
It unifies your stack into one intelligent system—without ripping and replacing what’s already working.
What kind of campaigns does Avid create?
Avid’s Playbooks include donor reactivation, recurring giving upgrades, acquisition campaigns, and more—executed across email, ads, landing pages, donation pages, text messages, social channels, and more.
How does Avid help with donor acquisition?
Avid builds high-converting audiences using your existing data—then syncs them to platforms like Facebook and Google Ads.
It helps you find the right people, target them with precision, and optimize spend in real time.
