Why growth stalls in non-profit organisations.
The same pressures appear in almost every non-profit organisations business we meet, in the boardroom and on the front line.
Without a plan, relationships are transactional and giving drops.
Reporting takes weeks of pulling data from finance and programmes.
Pledged amounts are not followed up and never arrive.
“Our donor list is a spreadsheet three people edit.”
“I write the same impact numbers into five reports.”
“I cannot match donations to restricted funds.”
The same week, told twice.
First the way it usually goes, then with Synclo on the team. Same work, same people — watch the number.
How Synclo drives growth in non-profit organisations.
Five capabilities, each shown with an example of Alci at work.
A plan for every major donor
Track interests, history, contacts and the next step for every donor and prospect.
In practiceAlci reminds you that a major donor's funded school opens next month, a perfect moment to invite them.
Grant pipeline and deadlines
Every grant opportunity, proposal and reporting deadline in one pipeline.
In practiceAlci lists 4 grant reports due this quarter and drafts each from live programme and finance data.
Pledges that arrive
Pledges, instalments and recurring gifts tracked with friendly reminders.
In practiceAED 180K of pledges overdue; Alci sends personal reminders and 60% arrive within two weeks.
Impact donors can see
Link donations to programmes and outcomes and send personal impact updates.
In practiceEvery monthly donor receives an update showing meals delivered in the programme they fund.
Campaigns that learn
See which appeals, channels and messages raise the most, and repeat what works.
In practiceAlci shows the Ramadan WhatsApp appeal raised 3 times more per message than email.
From first conversation to recurring giving
See every donor relationship and where it needs attention.
Donors who receive an impact update within 30 days of their first gift are twice as likely to give again. Alci now sends one automatically.
