TYSONS, Va., March 12, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- boodleAI announced today that the Code of Support Foundation (CoSF) received a $10,000 donation as a direct result of using the boodleAI Peer-to-Peer (P2P) fundraising platform. boodleAI provides an AI assistant that helps nonprofit supporters discover and engage with likely donors in their networks.
The CEO and Co-Founder of CoSF, General (Ret.) Alan Salisbury, found using the boodleAI assistant to be very easy. He experienced returns almost right away. "[E]xcept for the small amount of time I invested logging in and personalizing the emails that the system drafted for me, the ROI is infinite for us," said General Salisbury, who co-founded CoSF in 2011.
The Code of Support Foundation provides invaluable one-on-one assistance to service members, veterans and their families who face complex challenges related to their profession. Salisbury, the former Commanding General of the U.S. Army Information Systems Engineering Command, was the first member of CoSF to use the AI assistant. Salisbury linked his extensive social network to boodleAI and received 400 likely, yet previously uncontacted, suggested donors for his organization. With the help of the boodleAI assistant, he was able to send ten personalized messages to potential supporters within 30 minutes of joining the platform. By the end of the day, CoSF received a new $500 donation. Within the next month of using boodleAI, Gen. Salisbury and CoSF received a $10,000 check in the mail from a donor recommended by the boodleAI assistant.
"PATRIOTlink ™ is our proprietary technology platform that enables each of our veteran case coordinators to significantly impact as many as 300 veterans and their families a year," said Kristy Kaufmann, CEO and Co-Founder of CoSF. "A single donation like this directly impacts 40 veterans and their families which makes a significant difference."
On average, one in 1,250 regular emails from a nonprofit results in a donation. When the email is sent from a peer to a peer, it averages one in four.
"boodleAI was founded on the idea that tremendous opportunity and value already exists in the extended networks of nonprofits. Our AI assistant taps that potential by understanding who are the best current donors of an organization, and matching that giving profile to individuals who might have otherwise gone unnoticed," said Shawn Olds, CEO of boodleAI.
boodleAI was founded by military veterans who have continued to pursue their passion for service with various nonprofits and wanted to find a way to connect nonprofits with new supporters. The platform offers capabilities in email based P2P fundraising, board and event fundraising, and corporate employee giving. New functionality in data hygiene and analytics, as well as the donor journey, are planned expansions for the platform. boodleAI released the latest version of their platform on January 18, 2019.
