Orbit is a simple all-in-one CRM for nonprofits, with one AI assistant called Hiro built in. Track donor pipelines and grant deadlines in one place, then ask Hiro to draft donor check-ins, volunteer follow-up, and a brief before funder meetings. You approve every message before it sends. Free for 250 contacts, no credit card.
A small nonprofit runs on relationships and deadlines, and both fall through the cracks the same way. A donor who gave last year never hears from you until you need money again. A grant with a hard deadline sneaks up because nobody owned the calendar. A volunteer who offered to help gets no reply and never comes back. None of it is about caring less. It is one or two people doing the work of five.
A donor pipeline behaves a lot like a sales pipeline: prospects, cultivation, an ask, a gift, and stewardship after. Grants are deals with deadlines. Volunteers are leads who already raised their hand. Treat all three like the relationships they are, and the same engine that helps a solopreneur keep clients warm keeps a mission funded.
Orbit has one AI assistant, Hiro, that opens with Cmd or Ctrl-J. Ask and it will:
Retention is more affordable than acquisition in fundraising the same way it is in business. The donor you already have is worth more than the one you have to find, and the way you keep them is consistent, genuine stewardship. Ask Hiro to hold the cadence so you do not have to remember every anniversary and impact moment by hand. It is the nonprofit version of AI client check-ins, tuned to gratitude instead of upsell.
Everything stays personal because nothing auto-sends. Each donor and volunteer carries a full timeline, every draft waits for your approval, and the warmth that keeps people giving stays yours. If you have never run donors as a pipeline before, this explains what a pipeline is and the idea maps cleanly onto development work.
Donors leave in silence, not in anger. Orbit and Hiro make sure the silence never starts.
Orbit fits small nonprofits where one or two people run donors, grants, and volunteers at once. It tracks donor and grant pipelines and its AI assistant, Hiro, drafts donor check-ins, volunteer follow-up, and meeting briefs. Free for 250 contacts, no credit card.
Yes. Run a grants pipeline with stages tied to deadlines, add a grant-deadline custom field, and set scheduled tasks that surface well before the date so nothing sneaks up on you. Tasks and custom fields are free on every plan.
They are meant to. Ask Hiro to draft specific, personal check-ins, not blasts, and nothing sends until you approve it. Donors carry full timelines so every message reflects the real relationship, and you can edit any draft before it goes out.
The CRM is free to start: 250 contacts, one pipeline, tasks, calendar, a built-in email inbox, and basic tables. Pro is $14/mo or $112/yr with a 30-day trial (card required). AI is included on every plan with free monthly credits and nothing to configure.
Ask Hiro to draft your check-ins and briefs, and track every deadline in one place. Free plan, no credit card.
Free forever plan. No credit card. No spam.
