Brand Basics

EverTrue provides a range of interconnected solutions for prospect research, donor engagement, video messaging, direct mail communication, and endowment management and reporting built for nonprofits, healthcare organizations, and educational institutions.

Problems EverTrue Solves

Out-of-Date Donor Information

Prospect research is a one-and-done process, where nonprofits look at a snapshot of donor data and fail to update their information even over the course of multiple years. Signal by EverTrue and DonorSearch by EverTrue continually update donor information to ensure nonprofits always have the latest insights into their donors. 

Limited Donor Data

Prospect research is a time-consuming process that requires having up-to-date, reliable sources of information. DonorSearch by EverTrue is the most extensive prospect research database available, ensuring nonprofits will have comprehensive records of all of their donors. Plus, Signal by EverTrue’s data-gathering tools, like its social media listening features, collect unique information that few other donor engagement platforms account for. 

Disorganized Major Gift Pipelines 

Without proper task management tools, major gift officers can accidentally let prospects fall through the cracks, misdirect their energy, and not consistently source new prospects. Signal by EverTrue creates an organized process with full insight into each major gift officer’s workflow, increasing accountability, making it easier to source new prospects, and creating automatic alerts to keep each donor relationship moving forward. 

Disorganized Endowment Accounting Practices

Many organizations use a series of spreadsheets to manage their endowments. This approach can lead to disorganization and potentially even security vulnerabilities. Balance by EverTrue solves this problem by creating a secure system that aims to reduce the administrative burden of managing an endowment.
