Dataro Raises $14.28M Series A to Power AI-Native Fundraising for Charities

Fundraising leaders don’t wake up thinking about segmentation rules or spreadsheet exports. You’re thinking about revenue targets. Donor relationships. Impact.

But for many charities, the path from donor data to better decisions is still manual, backward-looking, and time-consuming. That’s the problem Dataro was built to solve.

Today, we’re announcing a $14.28 million Series A led by Blueprint Equity to accelerate our growth in the United States and continue supporting charities across Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and beyond.

This investment marks an inflection point, not just for Dataro, but for AI-native fundraising.

The Real Challenge Facing Fundraising Teams

Most charities already have the data—it lives inside established CRMs. It tracks giving history, engagement, and campaign results. But much of its value remains locked behind manual segmentation and reporting processes that look backward instead of forward.

That creates three real constraints:

• Teams spend time managing tools instead of managing relationships.

• Campaign decisions rely on static lists and intuition.

• Growth requires working harder, not smarter.

It shouldn’t be this way.

Commercial organizations have long used predictive systems to guide customer engagement. Charities deserve the same level of decision-making rigor without adding complexity to already stretched teams.

From Managing Tools to Managing Impact

Dataro turns existing donor data into forward-looking predictions and guided actions. Instead of asking fundraisers to “do more,” we help them execute smarter.

By connecting directly to a charity’s CRM, Dataro:

1. Analyzes historical donor behavior

2. Predicts future giving likelihood

3. Ranks supporters based on conversion potential

4. Guides teams toward the right next steps

The result? Fundraising teams focus their energy where it matters most.

At Save the Children, for example, AI-powered donor targeting improved appeal performance by replacing broad outreach with precisely ranked supporter segments most likely to convert.

That shift from broad segmentation to ranked precision changes how teams work.

Why This Moment Matters

“Fundraisers should be spending their time on impact and donor relationships, not managing tools and spreadsheets,” said Dataro CEO Tim Paris. “Charities already have the data. Dataro brings AI into the workflow so teams can focus on the right supporters, take the right next steps, and consistently improve fundraising outcomes.”

Blueprint Equity shares that conviction.

“Fundraising teams are at an inflection point,” said Francis Donohue, Principal at Blueprint Equity. “Dataro is building an AI-native foundation that helps charities turn data into better decisions, better stewardship, and better results at scale.”

This Series A funding will support expansion across product, customer success, sales, and marketing, fueling continued investment in AI-native workflows that reduce administrative burden and increase fundraising effectiveness.

What Success Looks Like for Fundraising Leaders

When donor data becomes predictive and actionable:

• Appeals reach the right supporters at the right time

• Performance improves without increasing workload

• Teams spend more time stewarding donors

• Revenue growth aligns with mission growth

If nothing changes, teams remain stuck managing processes.

But when AI handles execution behind the scenes, fundraisers can return to what they do best: building relationships that power impact.

The Next Phase of Growth

Dataro is led by co-founders Tim Paris (CEO), David Lyndon (CTO), and Chris Paver (COO). We recently welcomed Salvatore Salpietro as Chief Growth Officer and will continue expanding our go-to-market team to support the next phase of growth.

Our mission remains simple: help charities turn the data they already have into better fundraising decisions.

Because when fundraising improves, impact scales.
