StratusLIVE builds software for nonprofit work. Ignite, the Active Intelligence Platform, puts CRM, fundraising, finance, marketing, engagement, partnerships, and donor self-service on one constituent record, so the next move stays connected to the whole relationship. AI teammates are included in every subscription. They research prospects, draft outreach and briefs, surface retention risk, answer questions from your records, and prepare work for your team to review. Agents draft; people approve. Nothing sends until someone on your team says so.
