Charities

Supporters get an answer even when the team is three people short.

A small team is covering fundraising, service delivery and general enquiries at the same time, and the phone does not know that. Supporters and service users still need an answer today, whatever else is going on.

Supporters and service users need answers from a team stretched across fundraising, delivery and admin, all at once.

The conversations this sector handles over and over

  • Regular giving and Gift Aid questions
  • Event sign-ups and ticket enquiries
  • Service-user enquiries needing a callback from the right team
  • Volunteer enquiries and availability
  • General questions about opening hours and how to get in touch

Who handles this

The AI employees recommended for this sector.

Example conversation

A supporter calls about setting up a regular monthly gift after seeing an appeal

An example of how this conversation goes. Not a recording of a real customer call.

  1. AI employeeGood afternoon, Riverside Trust. You are speaking to an automated assistant. How can I help?
  2. CallerI saw your appeal and I would like to set up a monthly donation.
  3. AI employeeThank you, that is very kind. Can I take your name and confirm the amount you had in mind?
  4. CallerIt is Grace Oduya, and ten pounds a month please.
  5. AI employeeThank you, Grace. Are you a UK taxpayer? If so, we can claim Gift Aid on top at no cost to you.
  6. CallerYes, I am.
  7. AI employeeI will send a secure link by text to set up the direct debit and Gift Aid declaration, and a member of the team will confirm it is in place.

What changes, for staff and for customers.

For staff

  • Routine supporter and admin calls no longer compete with service delivery and outreach work
  • Service-user enquiries are routed to the right team with a callback booked, not left on hold
  • Every enquiry is logged even when the office is empty

For customers

  • Calls are answered even when the team is out or stretched thin
  • Setting up or changing a regular gift takes one call
  • Sensitive enquiries are routed to a person, not left to the AI employee alone

Systems it works alongside.

  • Fundraising or supporter database (CRM)
  • SMS for secure links and confirmations
  • Callback scheduling for service-user enquiries

What it hands to a person.

  • Any safeguarding concern or disclosure of harm
  • A service user in evident distress
  • Complaints, or any request that falls outside approved, scripted answers

Questions about Charities

Will sensitive calls from service users be handled by AI alone?

No. Any safeguarding concern or a caller in evident distress is escalated to a person immediately. The AI employee is scoped to routine enquiries and takes a callback for anything else.

Can it process a donation directly?

It captures the details and sends a secure link for the supporter to complete the donation and Gift Aid declaration themselves, rather than taking payment details over the phone.

Does this fit a small charity with a stretched team?

Yes, that is the situation it is built for — routine calls covered so a small team can stay focused on service delivery and fundraising, with sensitive calls still going to a person.
