“Virtuous enables us to connect with givers in new and meaningful ways and have a greater impact.”

Donor-centric nonprofit teams trust Virtuous
Make each message matter.
Responsive nonprofits don’t demand attention from donors — they earn their trust. Attention fades, while trust results in commitment, activism, and generosity.
Virtuous is the only platform built to prioritize that trust. As a single source of all your fundraising and marketing needs, Virtuous empowers your team to run integrated engagement campaigns that connect you to your donors and drive impact.
- Diversify your opportunities to engage with email, SMS, direct mail, and more
- Grow your donor base with data-driven, targeted campaigns
- Tap into the power of automated welcome series
Virtuous Marketing enables your team to execute all your ideas — big and small.
Multi-channel Engagement
Engage every donor across platforms.
Send relevant communication to the right person at the right time to increase response rates and ROI. From your website to their inbox, mailbox, and smartphone, Virtuous Marketing puts your nonprofit exactly where you need to be.
Unify donor management, fundraising, and marketing.
Data for email clicks, website visits, and direct mail delivery are all integrated with Virtuous CRM to improve visibility and clarity. Respond quickly, make decisions based on real-time data, and eliminate import headaches.
Target the ideal set of donors every time.
Stop draining resources into communications that get ignored. Automatically segment major donor prospects, social influencers, recurring prospects, advocates, or specific personas to ensure each constituent receives the most relevant communication.
Use forms to expand your audience and get feedback.
Manage email subscriptions, gate content, or conduct surveys using simple, embeddable forms. Quickly modify any form directly from Virtuous and see changes immediately on your site.
Turn website visits into engagement opportunities.
Track visitors on your website to understand each person’s engagement level, interests, and what content is most effective at driving responses. Then follow up with visitors via email or direct mail with suggested next steps.
“This is the first system that takes a modern approach to tracking and communicating to donors. The system is easy to navigate, use, and learn. Its design is very user-centric. The automation is very robust and has a ton of features.”
Philip Ingland, Senior Marketing Manager, Eversight
Email Marketing
Easily design engaging, personalized emails.
Build beautiful email campaigns that inspire action. Avoid messy data syncing with email marketing, segmentation, and analytics connected directly to your donor data.
Build custom email campaigns with drag-and-drop tools.
Choose from beautiful, mobile-responsive templates or build your own. Use your existing donor data and Virtuous Signals to drive email messaging and timing instead of relying on disconnected email platforms.
Take personalization to the next level.
Merge in any of your contact and fundraising fields so that each recipient feels truly known. Personalization fields include giving metrics and even custom fields to fuel hyper-personal emails.
Segment email in real time with dynamic searches.
Subscribers can move in and out of lists in real time based on behavior, tags, giving, or personal preferences without manual updates or messy spreadsheets. Forms integration and automation allows your users to opt in or out of lists based on their preferences.
Optimize email performance with split-testing.
Test your subject lines, copy, images, sender, and more to determine which strategies resonate with supporters. Track open and click results for each email to increase effectiveness over time.
Replace your disconnected email marketing or automation platform.
Move on from Mailchimp, Constant Contact, Emma, HubSpot, Pardot, or Blackbaud Luminate. Virtuous can take you farther — nonprofits who switched to Virtuous agree.
"Virtuous is custom designed for the needs of fundraisers. It's the most donor-centered software I've ever used.”
Jamie Trussell, Chief Development Officer, Adult & Teen Challenge Switched from Blackbaud to Virtuous in 2019
Marketing Automation
Automate donor journeys, welcome series, and more.
Build sequences that connect with donors without adding work for your staff. Use data collected from giving behavior, interests, or milestones to craft unique, personalized engagement for each individual.
Easily automate personalized communication.
Go beyond one-time email blasts by using donor behavior to kick off the right email at the right time. Segment your communications so each person gets all the information they need without any ineffective, generic messaging.
Automate custom direct mail.
Tell a single story to reach donors across all channels. Automate personalized drip campaigns that include email, physical mail, postcards, tasks, and more — without ever having to touch a stamp or click send.
Send updates via text message.
Increase engagement by connecting with donors via SMS – send timely thank you messages, deliver impact reports, or remind donors of upcoming opportunities for involvement.
Track engagement at the donor level.
Open and click reporting flows all the way to each donor’s profile. Easily respond to donor signals in real time to ensure you never miss an opportunity to improve donor relationships and grow giving.
Improve team collaboration.
Streamline campaign management across teams by assigning tasks and key milestones so you never miss a deliverable. Auto-generate emails or mobile alerts when tasks are due or when donors take a particular action.
“Virtuous takes automations to the next level which has allowed us to put several workflows in place enabling higher rates of retention and engagement.”
Travis Gordon, Director of Donor Relations, The Mighty Oaks Foundation
