  • Better fundraising through real time clarity with Kindsight's Fundraising Platform

    Fundraising that's focused, connected, and more intelligent.

    Teams that thrive need to work from a single source of truth, surface the right prospects faster, and make confident, data-driven decisions—every day.

    They collaborate seamlessly across departments. They launch campaigns with precision and scale. They focus less on cleaning data and more on building relationships. And they’re powered by tools that actually support the way healthcare fundraising works.

    That’s exactly what Kindsight’s Fundraising Platform is built to deliver. Here’s how:

    • Clean, Connected Donor Data: When everyone works from the same donor record, collaboration gets easier. Kindsight centralizes data and removes the noise.
    • Smarter Prospecting, Personalized Outreach: Surface the right prospects—discharges, lapsed donors, major gift leads—and reach them with the right message at the right time.
    • Real-Time Visibility and Performance: From pipeline health to campaign ROI, ascend delivers the visibility you need to make better decisions, faster.
  • Spot top donors in seconds with Kindsight's Fundraising Platform
