Why AutomateGenius

We didn't set out to build software. We set out to make Raiser's Edge work better.

AutomateGenius is a Raiser's Edge NXT automation service that runs proven fundraising workflows for nonprofit advancement teams.

The humans behind AutomateGenius

We're fundraisers, database people, consultants and automation builders.

AutomateGenius is not a software company guessing how advancement offices work. It is a product of Prenger Solutions Group, the team that lives inside Raiser's Edge every day, manages millions of records for nonprofits and built these automations to solve problems we were already solving for real clients.

What AutomateGenius does

Daily Digest

Daily Digest delivers one clear email each morning, summarizing recent gifts, new donors, fundraising progress, and records that need attention. It's built for advancement teams using Raiser's Edge NXT who want daily visibility without digging through the database.

Everything you need to know, all in one place.

Heartfelt Emails

Heartfelt Emails watches for meaningful donor moments in Raiser's Edge, drafts a personalized message, and serves it up for the right person to review and send at the perfect time.

The perfect message, served up at the perfect time.

Pledge Assistant

Stay on top of due dates, new pledges, and completed pledges with personalized alerts and donor outreach prompts. Pledge Assistant monitors pledges in Raiser's Edge NXT and alerts your team when payments are due, so follow-up happens on time.

Alerts and outreach prompts that keep every pledge on track.

Giving Circle Assistant

Giving Circle Assistant keeps track of your donor clubs, giving societies, and recognition tiers automatically. As gifts come in, each donor record is updated so your team can pull an accurate list whenever you need one. It works directly with the gift and constituent records already in your Raiser's Edge NXT database.

Retire the tracking spreadsheets and keep track of your giving societies and clubs automatically inside Raiser's Edge.

Deceased Record Assistant

Marking a record deceased in Raiser's Edge can be a cumbersome, labor-intensive process. Deceased Record Assistant handles the manual work for you to save time and help make sure surviving family members are treated with respect.

One workflow handles all the details.

Automated Tax Letters

Automated Tax Letters dramatically simplifies the annual tax-statement process by gathering the right giving information, creating each donor's statement, preparing it for mail or email delivery, and saving the final document back to the donor record. It uses the giving history in Raiser's Edge NXT to produce year-end donor tax statements for nonprofit organizations.

Take the stress out of tax-letter season.

Automated Gift Acknowledgments

PSG replaces a pile of acknowledgment templates with a smart, flexible system that uses Raiser's Edge data to apply the right donor details, impact language, signer, tax language, routing and timing.

Streamline and personalize your gift acknowledgment letters.

What makes AutomateGenius different

We sell proven solutions, not promises.

Every automation on the menu solved a real problem for our own team first. If an idea has not earned its place, it is not for sale.

Humans stay in the loop where it matters.

Relationship-building emails from Heartfelt Emails and Pledge Assistant are drafted for staff to review, edit and send. Judgment stays with your team; we just handle the research and your first draft.

We will tell you when not to automate.

Some processes need a person, cleaner data or a policy decision first. Saying so is part of the service.

Nothing changes about where your data lives.

AutomateGenius works with your existing Raiser's Edge NXT environment. It does not replace it and it does not move your database.

PSG configures and monitors everything.

Configuration is handled by the PSG team, not left to your staff, and monitoring and maintenance are included after launch.

The team behind AutomateGenius

AutomateGenius is built by Prenger Solutions Group, the largest user of Raiser's Edge on planet Earth. Our team manages millions of records for nonprofits every day, and our own fundraising pros kept running the same complicated reports, follow-ups, letters and record updates our clients were. So we built a better way. The automations worked, clients asked for them, and AutomateGenius was born.

We run Raiser's Edge NXT for a living.

Frequently asked questions

Who is Prenger Solutions Group?

Prenger Solutions Group is a fundraising services firm that manages Raiser's Edge NXT environments and advancement operations for nonprofits, from healthcare foundations to universities and independent schools. PSG built and owns AutomateGenius, and its consultants configure and monitor every solution it sells.

Does AutomateGenius replace Raiser's Edge NXT?
