Dataro, an AI-driven fundraising intelligence platform for nonprofits, has raised $14.28 million in a Series A round led by Blueprint Equity. The funding will support the company’s expansion in the United States while it continues serving charities across Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and other international markets.
Dataro’s platform is designed to help nonprofit organizations unlock the value of donor data already stored in their existing CRM systems. Rather than relying on manual segmentation and backward-looking reports, the company uses AI to generate forward-looking predictions and guidance. The goal is to enable fundraising teams to shift from managing tools and workflows to focusing on impact and donor relationships, with AI handling more of the operational execution.
The company says its approach provides nonprofit teams with the decision-making rigor and customer engagement strategies long used in commercial sectors. For example, at Save the Children, Dataro’s AI-powered donor targeting improved appeal performance by replacing broad outreach efforts with precisely ranked supporter segments most likely to convert.
The Series A capital will be used to expand Dataro’s product development, customer success, sales, and marketing teams. The company plans to continue investing in AI-native workflows to reduce the administrative burden on fundraising professionals and narrow the gap between nonprofit resources and global needs.
Dataro is led by co-founders Tim Paris, CEO; David Lyndon, CTO; and Chris Paver, COO. The company recently appointed Salvatore Salpietro as Chief Growth Officer and intends to make additional go-to-market hires to support its next phase of growth.
Working with more than 300 organizations worldwide, Dataro supports donor acquisition, retention, and stewardship by identifying high-leverage opportunities, prioritizing the right supporters, and guiding teams toward clear next steps. Its customer base includes World Central Kitchen, Stand Up To Cancer, Amnesty International, and Save the Children across the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. The company is backed by Blueprint Equity, Save the Children, Basis Set, and other investors.
KEY QUOTES:
“Fundraisers should be spending their time on impact and donor relationships, not managing tools and spreadsheets. 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.”

“Fundraising teams are at an inflection point. Dataro is building an AI-native foundation that helps charities turn data into better decisions, better stewardship, and better results at scale. That conviction is why we’ve made a significant investment in the company.”
