Donor Pipeline Development

Humanize Your Digital Engagement With RNL Engage®

RNL Engage is the SaaS-based omnichannel fundraising platform that integrates calling, texting, email, and personalized video into one seamless donor experience.

The Modern Fundraising Challenge:

Fragmented Outreach Generates Donor Friction

Modern donors are mobile-first, bouncing seamlessly between reading emails, checking texts, watching videos, and answering calls. Yet most advancement teams are still forced to manage these channels using disconnected, siloed tools–creating friction for your donors that can undermine giving and your donor pipeline.


RNL Engage removes the friction from modern advancement. Our higher education-based omnichannel platform humanizes digital engagement at scale by bringing your primary communication streams into one intuitive interface.

Why Our Partnership Works

Built for Modern Scale. Proven by Results.

25x More Likely to Give

Donors engaged across synchronized, omnichannel touchpoints show significantly higher response and conversion rates than traditional single-channel strategies.

The Modern Engagement Hub

We have evolved the traditional phonathon into a mobile-first engagement center. Student ambassadors manage text, video, email, and high-priority calls entirely in one place.

More than $1B Raised

Join over 500+ institutions that have collectively raised more than $1 billion through RNL Engage multichannel campaigns.

Strategic Calling

The Digital Engagement Hub

Give ambassadors the personalized context with donor and spouse history visible at a glance. Call results can instantly trigger an automated text or video follow-up the moment a conversation ends. We offer both on -and off-site calling centers that can either be managed by your team or ours.

Email

Integrated Email Marketing

Access 20+ mobile-responsive templates and 30+ copy variations for scalable reach to audiences of any size.

Texting

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Texting

Move beyond one-way blasts with authentic, two-way conversations for giving day reminders, event invites, and donor anniversaries.

Personalized Video

Full-Lifecycle Stewardship

Bring a human element to your outreach. Integrate personalized video updates to show donors the direct impact of their gifts, building deep affinity before your next appeal.

Data, Analytics, and Compliance

Data Enrichment

We clean and update your records automatically with Wireless ID, Cell Appending, Email Verification, and NCOA (National Change of Address) tracking.

SmartView Reporting

Track performance in real time by segment, ambassador, or constituency, allowing for mid-shift strategy adjustments.

Compliance and Legal Peace of Mind

Rest easy knowing our in-house counsel ensures all scripts, digital touchpoints, and mailers meet state-specific fundraising regulations and disclosure requirements.
