DonorOps is the secure, AI-native donor operating system for nonprofits. HeartBeat becomes the governed donor operating core, Pulse Packs add modular operating capabilities, and Pulse Companion moves donor work forward.

How does DonorOps work?

DonorOps works through HeartBeat, Pulse Packs, and Pulse Companion. HeartBeat holds governed donor context, Pulse Packs add modular donor-operation capabilities, and Pulse Companion moves work forward under nonprofit-defined permissions and human review.

Does DonorOps replace our donor database or CRM?

HeartBeat can become your donor system of record and operating core. DonorOps may connect to legacy systems during transition, but the long-term goal is to consolidate and replace fragmented donor tools where it makes operational sense.

What is Pulse Companion?

Pulse Companion is governed AI work that uses approved HeartBeat context, approved Pulse Pack capabilities, and approved tools to prepare, draft, analyze, and advance donor work while your team stays in control.

Nonprofit fundraising and development teams that need clearer donor follow-up, dormant-donor visibility, consistent stewardship, and board-ready reporting without rebuilding reports by hand.
