Movement aligned,
model agnostic.

The Progress Platform gives nonprofit and progressive political operators a single AI workspace for data, fundraising, operations, and communications. Pre-built workflows for the work you do every day — choose the model that fits the task, the moment, and the mission.

No external AI APIs · customer-managed keys · private inference. How we build →

Model agnostic, for real

Choose the model. See the trade-offs.

Every task in the platform shows you the bias score, environmental impact, and data-center region of the model you're about to run — before you run it. Try it:

Select a model for: donor research brief
Bias score
from peer-reviewed evals · lower is better
Energy per run
est. Wh · cleanest region selected
Grid region

Illustrative values for the demo — in the product, scores are drawn from published evaluations and live grid data.

01 · Data

Records that finally agree.

Connect your CRM, ActBlue, Google Drive, upload spreadsheets and files. The platform reconciles, standardizes, and makes the result easily searchable in minutes not days.

Integrated Data Access

Connect, import, and reconcile — without manual cleansing.

Pull datasets from Google Drive, your existing CRMs, and uploaded files. Data is reconciled, standardized, and made accessible to you automatically.

Eliminates the data-cleaning bottleneck that drains development teams every cycle.
Universal Search

Every person, donor, and contribution you know — in one query.

Search across your source files and national contribution data. Results show source and confidence; records stay updated as the underlying data changes.

Replaces five disconnected lookups with one.
Reports Generation

Build the report by describing it.

A plain-text chat interface for report building, with a live preview. Pin the ones you watch every day to a dashboard. Methodology is visible behind every number.

Self-serve reporting — no SQL, no BI license, no analyst in the loop.
02 · Fundraising

More time talking to donors. Less time researching them.

Research donors, run call time, plan an event, and build prospect universes in minutes with researched backgrounds and suggested asks. Spend up to 90% less time on manual research.

Less time spent on manual donor research (Donor Research case study)
Donor Research

Pre-call briefs and full dossiers.

Giving history, capacity, ties to the campaign, talking points, and compliance flags. Built from a national donor dataset with the methodology published in the app.

Replaces 20 minutes of manual research per prospect.
Call Time Prep

Prioritized call sheet with per-donor cards.

Contact details, suggested ask, recent giving, past call history, talking points, links to social media and external press — all in one card per call.

More productive hours during call time, fewer dropped calls.
Event Planning

End-to-end fundraising events.

Financial target, host committee, contribution tiers, invite list, run-of-show, budget-to-net. Or use targeting mode to find prospect-rich geographies.

Event planning from days to hours.
Prospect Universes

Researched prospects in minutes.

Build prospect universes from bundler lists, board lists, or any contact file. Capacity modeling against the national dataset, with researched backgrounds and suggested asks.

Unlock bundler contributions that would otherwise sit dormant.
Real-Time Goal Tracking

Live progress, plus suggestions to optimize.

Track progress across ActBlue, your CRM, and event platforms — and get suggestions on how to optimize to meet quarterly goals.

Replaces weekly manual reconciliation.
03 · Operations

The administrative backbone for a campaign or organization.

Standardized briefs, personalized morning briefings, and schedule optimization that weighs drive time and campaign priorities. All provided with a full audit trail of who did what, on which model, at what environmental cost.

Briefcase

Standardized briefs for any meeting.

Meetings, events, fundraising events, debates, town halls — built from prior context and relevant docs. Brief once, use everywhere.

Replaces last-minute prep scrambles.
Morning Briefings

Personalized daily briefings.

Calendar, key updates, news, project activity, and today's priorities — for principals and staff, delivered as a styled doc each morning.

Full cross-project context in one place.
Schedule Optimization

Vet requests, draft complex schedules.

Draft schedules around campaign priorities and current calendar conflicts. Drive time, geographic clustering, and event tier weighting built in.

Monthly schedule in 30 minutes instead of two days.
Energy Aware AI

Run heavy work on clean energy.

Watch spend per user, audit who did what, and run heavy jobs on the cleanest available energy. Customers get quantitative data on how their choices mitigated environmental impact.

Align AI usage with your values — and prove it to your board.
04 · Communications

More you. Less drift.

Engagement tracking, voice-aligned drafting, and citation-based fact-checking — drafts in your voice, every claim cited, human oversight enforced. We only show what we can demo; this one's almost ready.

How we build

Every workflow is built on the same foundation.

Bias visible. Energy accounted for. Security at the architecture level, not as configuration. The same principles run under every module.

Bounded by Expertise

Your judgment, built in.

Human-centered, human-directed. Oversight is the default, not the opt-in.

Transparent by Design

Methodology in the open.

Bias scores and environmental-impact data surfaced inside the product. Sources cited, scoring visible.

Energy Conscious AI

Cleanest region by default.

Model size visible. Job scheduling by grid demand. Cleanest AWS region as the default.

Security: Internal & External

Every path covered.

Single-stack, no external AI APIs, customer-managed keys, private inference, full audit logs.
