Fundraising Operations FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear, realistic answers addressing donor wealth screening, non-profit CRM connectivity, AFP ethical boundaries, and data confidentiality.

In strict compliance with the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) Code of Ethical Standards, our virtual assistants provide purely non-solicitation operational, research, and administrative support. Assistants never directly solicit donors for contributions, negotiate gift agreements, or receive percentage-based compensation or finders' fees. All donor asks, board advisory counsel, and major gift stewardship remain 100% with you and your client's executive leadership.
Yes. Our specialized assistants are trained across major donor wealth intelligence platforms (DonorSearch, iWave, WealthEngine). They run individual and batch constituent screenings, cross-reference public real estate property valuations, SEC insider filings, political contributions, and charitable board seats, and synthesize the data into clean, objective 1-to-2 page executive profiles ready for major gift solicitors.
Donor confidentiality is sacred in philanthropy. Every SageDoer assistant operates under strict bilateral Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). In client tools (Raiser's Edge, Bloomerang, DonorSearch, Google Drive), assistants are provisioned with role-restricted credentials that exclude banking disbursement privileges or merchant settlement settings. Passwords are exchanged securely via encrypted vaults (1Password / Bitwarden), and assistants never store donor records on local devices.
Your Dedicated Project Manager is your single operational touchpoint. When advising multiple non-profits simultaneously, context-switching destroys your high-value focus. You brief your PM via Slack, WhatsApp, or email organized by client code. The PM audits the assistant's work (verifying that wealth profiles match verified public records, gift pyramids calculate correctly, and feasibility study transcripts are completed on time) before delivering final binders. Their supervisory oversight is 100% free of charge.
No lock-in contracts. You can easily adjust your hours based on active capital campaign phases (such as scaling hours during initial feasibility study interviews, wealth screening sweeps, or year-end appeal pushes, and scaling back to part-time during quieter summer periods). There are zero onboarding fees, zero recruitment charges, and zero hidden platform markups.
