About CharityScribe
Our Story
Rooted in Real-World Fundraising
CharityScribe was born from the frontlines of nonprofit development. Co-founders Rachel and Chris bring over 18 years of experience as fundraisers, grant writers, and campaign strategists who’ve helped organizations raise millions. They’ve worked in the trenches: meeting deadlines, juggling donor relationships, and crafting compelling cases for support under pressure. That lived experience drives every feature we build. We didn’t start with AI and look for a problem. We started with the everyday realities of nonprofit fundraising, and built AI tools to solve them.
AI Tools Built Exclusively for Fundraising
CharityScribe isn’t a general-purpose AI dressed up for the sector. Our tools are built exclusively for fundraising—by professionals who understand the details that make or break development work. Whether you’re drafting a grant proposal, planning a year-end campaign, or engaging major donors, every copilot is fine-tuned to support fundraising goals with authenticity and nuance. Our platform captures your organization’s unique voice and adapts in real-time, so every draft reflects your mission and values—not generic templates.
We’re proud to offer something no other AI platform does: real-time, intelligent fundraising prospecting. Our tools scan up-to-date funder databases, public grant listings, and historical giving patterns to match your organization with the right opportunities—automatically. What once took a week of research can now happen in minutes. Combine that with our Dedicated AI Fundraising Assistant, Fundraising Strategy Generator, Donor Engagement Planner, Funder Meeting Prep, Grant Editor, and Grant Calendar, and you have an entire fundraising support team in one intuitive platform. CharityScribe isn’t just AI: it’s AI built for impact and social good.
