LIVE DEMO — COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS

Grantseekers and donors call the same line. Both deserve a real answer.

A community foundation’s phone splits between nonprofits asking about grant cycles and donors asking about funds — questions too important for voicemail and too repetitive for a small staff. The AI answers every call and chat, 24/7: published guidelines and deadlines explained exactly, fund options as your pages state them, meetings booked with the right officer.

Get started

Free personal demo in your inbox in ~2 minutes · no sales call · built for YOUR mission

Grantseeker and donor conversations on one board — answered, routed, transcribed for the officers.

One day with the AI

Three moments from a typical foundations front office — handled while your team does the human part.

11:15 AM · The first-time applicant

A small nonprofit asks whether it fits your grant guidelines. The AI answers from your published criteria and cycle dates — only those — and books the program-officer conversation.

4:35 PM · The fund inquiry

An attorney calls about establishing a donor-advised fund for a client. The AI explains your published fund options and minimums, and books the meeting with your development lead.

9:50 AM · Deadline-week wave

The week the cycle closes, applicant calls multiply: portal questions, document checklists, deadline confirmations — each answered identically from your published materials.

What it does for you

Guidelines, answered exactly

Eligibility, cycles, deadlines and required documents from your published materials — the same correct answer for every applicant.

Donor conversations opened

Fund types, published minimums and processes explained; the personal conversation booked with the right officer, brief attached.

Every inquiry on the record

Calls and chats transcribed and routed — program officers open complete files, not messages scribbled at reception.

Watch it serve both sides of the mission

The demo answers the applicant’s eligibility question and the attorney’s fund inquiry — configured for a community foundation. Your personal version arrives in ~2 minutes, built from your website: your guidelines, your funds, your officers.

Asked in your callers’ own words

Real question types from this business — and what the AI does with each. Grounded in YOUR approved knowledge: no source, no claim.

“Are operating grants available in the fall cycle?”

Answers from your published guidelines and calendar — never an interpretation — and offers the program-officer call.

“What is the minimum to open a scholarship fund?”

Quotes your published fund minimums and steps, and books the development meeting.

“Can you look at my draft application?”

Explains your published pre-application support and books it if you offer it — review promises stay with your staff.

Three staff, four hats each, one phone line — and the callers are donors, volunteers and families in need, all at once, all deserving an answer. The Zanus AI front office ANSWERS — phone and chat, in the caller’s language, explains your programs from your approved knowledge, books what needs booking, and routes the sensitive calls to your people.

Questions, answered

Grant decisions are nuanced — can it speak for us?

It never does: it answers what your guidelines publish and books the human conversation for everything else. No source in your approved knowledge, no claim.

Donor information is sensitive.

The AI works from approved public knowledge only; captures route to your team by your rules — with a fully on-premises option on servers you own for the strictest custody.

The Front Office answers. The Back Office executes.

This demo is the AI that answers — phone, chat, quotes, bookings. The work INSIDE your community foundation — documents, tasks, procedures, automations — is Back Office AI, specialized for Nonprofits & NGOs. Most companies run both: one AI answering, one AI executing.
