"During our year-end annual appeal, entering 1,200 check and credit card donations into Raiser’s Edge NXT and getting tax receipts mailed within 48 hours used to paralyze our team. Our Sagedoer VA logged every gift batch and generated perfect tax letters under our PM’s eye."
Catherine Lewis, CFRE
VP of Development, Children's Health Foundation, Chicago
"We were preparing for a $15M capital campaign. My Sagedoer VA ran wealth screenings across 450 prospects in iWave, pulling SEC stock disclosures, board affiliations, and real estate values into one-page briefing memos. Our major gift officers closed $3.2M in initial pledges in 90 days."
Marcus Delgado
Director of Major Gifts, Urban Conservation Trust, Denver CO
"Our annual gala has 450 guests and 80 auction lots. Managing registrations on Givebutter, coordinating table seatings, and organizing silent auction items in OneCause was overwhelming our two-person office. At $6/hr with no markups, Sagedoer helped us net a record-breaking $420,000."
Sarah Rosenthal

Fundraising Operations FAQ
Direct, honest answers regarding donor data confidentiality, CRM access protocols, wealth screening ethical standards, and Dedicated PM oversight.
Donor trust and strict data privacy are foundational to professional non-profit management. Every Sagedoer virtual assistant and project manager operates under legally enforceable Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) adhering to Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) ethical standards. We enforce clean-desk InfoSec protocols: team members access your systems via role-based credentials managed in 1Password or Bitwarden with mandatory 2FA. Working files, donor profiles, and wealth screening spreadsheets reside strictly within your authorized cloud infrastructure (Raiser's Edge, Bloomerang, Google Workspace) with zero unauthorized local persistence on remote endpoints.
Yes. Our virtual assistants are trained across major non-profit software ecosystems, including Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT, Bloomerang, DonorPerfect, Salesforce Non-Profit Success Pack (NPSP), Neon CRM, and Little Green Light. For prospect research, they utilize iWave, DonorSearch, WealthEngine, and Candid / Foundation Directory Online to pull SEC filings, foundation 990s, and real estate assessments according to your organization's specific prospect qualification guidelines.
You never have to manage or train your virtual assistant directly. Your dedicated Project Manager serves as your operational development lead. You supply high-level directives (e.g., "Enter this week’s checks into Bloomerang, merge duplicate accounts, generate IRS tax acknowledgment letters for gifts over $250, and update our Instrumentl grant pipeline by Thursday"), and your PM turns that into structured checklists, audits gift batch totals against bank deposits, verifies letter merges, and delivers a completed review package—100% free of charge.
Non-profits naturally experience massive seasonal surges—nearly 30% of all annual charitable giving occurs between Giving Tuesday and New Year's Eve. Because Sagedoer maintains a deep bench of pre-vetted development specialists, you can seamlessly scale from part-time (20 hrs/week) to full-time (40 hrs/week) or activate temporary surge assistants on demand during Q4 and gala seasons with zero long-term commitments, onboarding fees, or cancellation penalties.
None. You pay strictly for pure hours of active execution: $7/hour for part-time (20 hours/week) or $6/hour for full-time (40 hours/week). We do not charge setup fees, monthly platform retainers, or payment transaction surcharges. Your Project Manager’s supervision and quality audits are always included at $0 extra.
