About Donor Management Software for Nonprofits | Keela Fundraising CRM
Overview
Keela is a donor management and fundraising CRM purpose-built for nonprofits. It combines donor profiles, AI-powered donation forms, email and text marketing, automation, and reporting in one platform, so fundraising teams can grow donations and steward supporters without juggling separate tools.
Keela was founded in 2013 and launched in 2015 as a donor management platform. It is part of the Velora suite alongside Raisely for fundraising and Aplos for fund accounting, and it reports that more than 2 billion dollars have been raised through the platform with a 98% customer satisfaction rating.
Key Benefits
- Grow recurring giving with AI-powered donation forms that suggest gift amounts and recurring prompts.
- Automate receipts, thank-yous, and lapsed donor nudges with pre-built and custom journeys.
- Manage donor communications in one place with segmented lists and email and text tools.
- Track revenue with automated campaign reports, cohort analysis, and LYBUNT/SYBUNT donor views.
- Accept donations through Stripe and PayPal without extra Keela transaction fees on top of processor rates.
- Move your donor history over with a dedicated implementation specialist who handles data export and import.
How It Works
Teams start by importing their donor history with help from a dedicated implementation specialist, then build donor profiles that capture gift history, household relationships, and custom fields. From there they create AI-powered donation forms, set up automated stewardship journeys, segment audiences for email and text outreach, and review results on dashboards that report campaign and donor activity.
Use Cases
- Development directors track campaign progress and revenue toward goals with automated reports.
- Nonprofit marketing teams send targeted email and text campaigns to segmented donor audiences.
- Fundraising coordinators automate receipts and thank-yous so every gift is acknowledged right away.
- Membership managers track members and engage recurring supporters from one CRM.
- Growing nonprofits in Canada, the US, Australia, and New Zealand issue tax-compliant receipts and keep data hosted locally.
Why Choose This Product
Keela was built by fundraisers rather than sales teams, so its features reflect how nonprofit organizations actually raise money. It pairs a donor CRM with fundraising, email, and reporting tools, and as part of the Velora suite it connects with Raisely and Aplos so donor, transaction, and financial data stay in sync.
