About CharityEngine

CharityEngine is an all-in-one nonprofit CRM and fundraising platform built to help organizations manage donor relationships, fundraising, payments, and engagement from a single, unified system.

Rather than relying on disconnected tools and integrations, CharityEngine provides nonprofits with a centralized platform that brings together donor data, fundraising activity, marketing automation, reporting, and payment processing in one place. This unified approach allows organizations to better understand their supporters, streamline operations, and make more informed decisions about growth.

CharityEngine is designed specifically for nonprofits and mission-driven organizations, with a strong emphasis on data integrity, automation, and long-term donor value. By giving teams a complete view of supporter activity across channels and over time, the platform helps organizations move beyond transactional fundraising toward deeper, more durable donor relationships.

This commitment to building systems — not just tools — makes CharityEngine a natural fit as a Sustainable Giving Certified Partner.

CharityEngine’s Focus on Sustainable Giving

CharityEngine approaches sustainable giving holistically, and their platform is designed to help nonprofits build predictable, durable recurring revenue by addressing the structural realities of monthly giving.

Their focus on sustainable giving is reflected in the following ways:

  • Built for recurring revenue from the ground up.

  • SustainerIQ technology to protect recurring revenue by automatically addressing failed payments caused by expired cards, declined transactions, or outdated payment information.

  • Automated retention without donor fatigue by resolving payment issues behind the scenes, reducing the need for manual donor outreach, and protecting donor relationships. 

  • Recurring donors are treated as an integral part of the overall fundraising strategy, rather than a siloed or secondary program.

  • Data-driven insight into long-term donor value via centralized donor data and built-in reporting.

CharityEngine is built on the understanding that sustainable giving requires intentional systems designed to retain — not just acquire — recurring donors.
