An answering service for nonprofits that also books, reminds and files

People reach out when something in their life has stopped working: the rent is due, the cupboard is empty, a parent can no longer live alone, a teenager needs somewhere to go after school. The intake line of a social services organization, the front desk of a community center and the website of a non-profit carry those requests every day, and one AI now stands behind all of them. It answers from the program information your team approved, books intake appointments, classes and rooms into their own calendars, sends the reminders, and keeps a single record of every conversation. Below, each module is shown at work in a community organization with its own screen: try the whole front office free for 7 days, get the AI demo, or open a module's page for the details.

Answers & books: the intake line, the website, the inbox and the forms

Every door a person in need knocks on, answered at once, with the intake appointment, the class spot or the room placed on the right calendar.

AI Phone

Your nonprofit's intake line answered from the first ring, day and night

AI Phone is the nonprofit answering service that picks up your organization's own number on the first ring, early morning or past midnight, in the language the caller speaks. A grandmother asking when the food pantry opens hears the answer your team approved; a mother who needs an intake slot gets one booked, or moved, before she hangs up. When someone asks for a caseworker by name, the call is transferred with who is calling and why, or a message is taken with the callback number read back.

AI Booking

Intake slots, youth classes and the community room on one calendar

AI Booking places each request in the free time of the right caseworker, program or room, at each of your sites: an intake interview at the downtown office, a seat in the evening ESL class, the community center gym for a Saturday league. As part of your nonprofit answering service it books, moves and confirms by phone, in the website chat, from your forms and on your own booking page. Every person is verified before the booking enters the book, and a reminder goes out before the day.

AI Webchat

Questions about pantry days, rent help and classes answered online

AI Webchat carries your nonprofit answering service onto the website. Visitors type or speak their question in any of 40 languages and get only what your pages and approved documents hold: which days the pantry is open, what papers to bring to intake, how to sign a child up for after-school care. It books the appointment inside the conversation, and it offers a staff member of your community organization whenever the visitor asks for one or the answer is not certain.

AI E-mail

Referral letters and help requests sorted before the morning huddle

AI E-mail reads every message that reaches your social services organization and routes it to the team that owns it: the food pantry, emergency rent help, the senior center, the youth program. For each one it drafts a reply from the information you approved, written in the language the sender used. You decide which kinds go out on their own, like class schedules or office hours; anything delicate waits for a person, with the draft already written.

AI Web Forms

A help request form that answers the moment someone presses send

AI Web Forms puts request forms on your non-profit's website that reply as soon as they are sent, in the person's own language. You add up to five questions of your own, such as household size or ZIP code, and the form can collect a file like a proof of address or let the person pick an intake slot. Your screening rules are read on every submission, the ones outside them are held with the reason, and the contact record is created on the spot.

AI Avatar

A friendly face on your website that explains how to get help

AI Avatar adds a face to your website chat whose lips follow her voice, so a visitor who finds reading hard can simply listen. She greets each person by voice or text in their language, explains your programs from the pages you approved, and hands over to the right staff member when the question needs one. She never pretends to be one of your caseworkers: anyone visiting the community center's site knows they are talking with an AI.

Sells: programs filled, volunteers and families followed up

Program and event announcements sent to a filtered group, follow-ups that stop the moment someone replies, and meeting rooms with notes for partner agencies.

AI CRM

One record per family, with every call, chat and form on it

AI CRM builds itself from the calls, chats, e-mails and forms your community organization receives. Each person's whole conversation sits on one record with where it came from, the language spoken and the time zone, so the coordinator who calls back on Thursday knows exactly what was said on Monday. Staff of the same partner agency or school are grouped together, and when a business asks about renting your hall, a deal opens by itself.

AI Quoting

Hall rentals and camp weeks quoted from your own rate sheet

AI Quoting answers the paying requests your community center gets from the price list you wrote: the multipurpose hall for a wedding reception, a week of summer camp, a first-aid class for another organization's staff. It quotes on calls, in the chat, by e-mail and from purchase orders, and every quote waits for your yes before it goes out. The customer accepts on their own quote page and pays the way you already take payments; the AI takes no card itself.

AI Proposal Studio

Program proposals for schools and county requests, priced line by line

AI Proposal Studio helps your non-profit answer the bigger requests: a school district asking for an after-school tutoring program, a county looking for a meal delivery partner, a company that wants a staff service day. It reads the request and its attachments page by page, asks you three questions at most, and writes from your own knowledge, pricing every line from your rate card and printing on your letterhead. A manager approves, a person sends it, and it is tracked from there.

AI Inventory

Thrift shop and equipment closet items checked while the caller waits

AI Inventory keeps the list of what your organization sells or rents out, each item with its picture, price and quantity: donated sofas in the thrift store, wheelchairs and walkers from the equipment closet, folding tables for a block party. On the phone and in the chat, the AI says whether an item is in stock and gives its price as written on its card, e-mails the item's page, holds it for a caller for the hours you set, or books the rental.

AI Gift Cards

Swim lesson passes and gift cards sold at the community center desk

AI Gift Cards lets supporters give your community center as a present: a card for an amount, or for a named service like a series of swim lessons or a pottery course. Cards sell on your own gift page, on the phone, in the chat and at the front desk, never expire and carry no fee. Print QR cards for the holiday fair, redeem them on a call or at the desk from any phone, and handle a company's order of ten or more as one quote.

AI Follow-up

Families who asked and went quiet get a kind, personal follow-up

AI Follow-up writes to the people who reached out to your non-profit and then stopped answering: the son who asked about adult day care for his mother, the parent who never finished camp registration, the club that left a hall quote open. Each e-mail is written fresh from what that person told you, never a form letter. The moment someone replies, the sequence stops and the reply lands with the staff member who owns it.

AI Marketing

Program news sent to the neighbors who asked to hear from you

AI Marketing sends e-mail campaigns to the contacts you filter, for example the families of last summer's campers or the seniors on the lunch program list, when a new session opens or a distribution day moves. Each message is written from your approved knowledge in every reader's own language, and only to the contacts whose consent allows it. Replies are answered by the AI or passed to the person at your community organization who handles them.

AI Auto-Call

Reminder calls before intake, so an empty chair goes to someone else

AI Auto-Call phones the people booked for the coming day from your organization's own number, many at once, each in their own language. It listens to the answer: a yes confirms the intake or the class, a no frees the slot for someone else, and a request for another day goes to your staff to rebook. Every answer is logged, so the social services front desk starts the morning knowing who is coming in.

AI Demo

A program tour presented to each sponsor or partner in their language

AI Demo builds a personal presentation of your non-profit from your own pages, pictures and videos, for a business weighing a sponsorship, a school considering your workshops, or a family looking at the after-school program. You release each one, then Lisa presents it live on a personal link in the viewer's language. They can stop her at any moment with a question, and anything she cannot answer goes into your gap log for the team.

AI Live Meetings

A private video room where staff walk a client through each step

AI Live Meetings gives your organization a room with its name on it. A client or partner joins from a link in the browser, with nothing to install, and your flyers, forms and videos are one click away. When a caseworker needs to open a private file, STAND BY hides the screen. Screen sharing helps a senior through an online form on a support call, and Lisa's notes wait for your confirmation.

AI Online Meetings

Video check-ins with families, no app and no account to create

AI Online Meetings opens in the guest's own browser, with no download and no account, which matters when the person on the other end has an old phone and little patience for passwords. Your branded waiting room holds them until a staff member admits them. Pick a template for a family check-in, a volunteer orientation or a community partner meeting, and Lisa writes the summary, the decisions and the next steps for your yes.

AI Partner Portal

Referral partners and resellers of your programs, approved by you

AI Partner Portal is for the companies that resell or refer your community organization's paid programs, such as a training firm offering your workshops or an employer group sending staff to your classes. They apply on one link or by your invitation, the AI researches each one on the web for your review, and you approve with the scopes you choose and a status that ends on its date. Wholesale tiers apply, and the Approved tab counts each partner's demos and sales.

Supports: every request tracked, every staff call written down

Housing, food and paperwork requests become tracked tickets, and the calls your team takes come with a transcript and an answer on screen.

AI Tickets

Housing, food and paperwork requests tracked until someone owns them

AI Tickets turns every call, chat, e-mail and form your social services organization receives into a tracked request, with the whole conversation and the person identified. When the answer is in your knowledge, such as the clothing closet hours or the documents a utility program asks for, the AI replies. Everything else waits for the staff member you name, so a request for a ride to a medical visit already has an owner when the next shift begins.

AI Returns & Warranty

Returns at your thrift store or laptop shop, each one with your yes

AI Returns & Warranty serves the shops many non-profits run, like a thrift store or a digital inclusion program that sells refurbished laptops. When a buyer says a laptop will not start, troubleshooting comes first; then the AI finds the purchase in your records, works out whether it is still under warranty, checks the request against the rules you wrote in plain words, and asks for anything missing. No return goes ahead without your yes, and every e-mail is written for you.

Calls your caseworkers take, written down on the person's record

AI Calls Transcripts writes down the calls your staff take on the computer, in the phone app and on every leg transferred from the AI, with a short summary placed on the person's record next to what the AI said before. A caseworker returning a call about a late rent notice sees the whole story at a glance. At your community organization, recording stays off until you decide to switch it on.

AI Calls Teleprompter

Your volunteers see the right answer during the call, with its source

AI Calls Teleprompter listens while the caller explains and puts the matching answer from your knowledge on your staff member's screen, with the document it came from. It never speaks on the call: your coordinator or new front-desk volunteer stays the voice the person hears. For a non-profit with rotating shifts, the newest volunteer can give the senior bus schedule or the shelter intake hours from the same written answer the director uses.

Helps your team: program guides, documents and training in one place

An assistant that answers only from your own documents with the source shown, a cabinet that files every form, and courses written by talking.

AI Team Assistant

Your staff ask the program manual and get the page it came from

AI Team Assistant answers your team's questions from your own documents and from the records each person is allowed to open, never from the internet. Ask which papers the energy assistance program requires, or what the community center's late pick-up policy says, and the answer cites its document and page. When nothing on file covers the question, it says so plainly and logs the gap so a manager can write the missing answer.

AI Chat for your team

Outside facts for your community team, each one with its source

AI Chat for your team searches the web the way your staff ask, reads the pages and shows where each fact came from, checking it before anyone acts on it. A coordinator can look up which warming centers the county has opened tonight, or a partner food bank's new address before sending a family there. It never reads your own records, so the files of the people your non-profit serves stay where they are.

AI Knowledge

One approved source behind every answer your organization gives

AI Knowledge holds your website, program sheets, house rules and facts in one tree that the phone, chat, e-mail and forms all answer from, so your nonprofit answering service says the same thing at every door. When a question has no written answer, say a new grant-funded program nobody has documented yet, it is left for your staff instead of guessed. The rules are tested every night, and nothing goes live before a person at your social services organization approves it.

AI Team Training

Teach the intake routine once, and Lisa trains each new volunteer

AI Team Training lets the person who knows the job best, perhaps your longest-serving intake coordinator, explain it once by talking or typing. Lisa then teaches it to every new hire or volunteer by voice and on screen, on a personal link they can open from home. They can ask a question at any moment, finish with a spoken test, and you see who has completed it before their first shift at the community center.

AI File Cabinet

A drawer per program and a file per family, every page findable

AI File Cabinet is one archive shaped like a real cabinet: a drawer for each program, a file for each family, funder or contract, and folders inside. Every document is read as it arrives, so a signed consent form or a landlord's letter is found again at its exact page. Your non-profit sets access rights and retention per drawer, and every time a file is opened, the opening is audited.

A family's whole history with your community center, date by date

AI Time Machine lays out a timeline from your own records: a household's visits, letters, notes and documents, each at its date, or the story of a program from its first session to today. A new caseworker sees at a glance how a family's contact with your organization unfolded before sitting down with them for the first time. It informs; a person decides what happens next.

A day at the front desk

A day at a community non-profit, from the first call to the last form

Requests for help, sign-ups and referrals come in through six doors between opening time and the evening. The same AI answers behind each one, so your caseworkers, coordinators and front-desk staff can spend their hours on the people in front of them.

Monday's calls at the intake line

The weekend leaves a pile of needs at your social services organization: a shut-off notice, a missed pantry day, a ride to a doctor's visit. Every caller is answered on your own number in their language, the right program is named, and the intake appointment lands in the caseworker's calendar while the caller is still on the line.

A daughter asks about senior meals

From your website, a woman asks by voice whether her father can get the home-delivered meals your non-profit runs and what papers to bring. The chat answers from the program page your team wrote, makes no promise about who qualifies, and books an intake call with the senior services coordinator.

Referrals in the inbox at lunch

Letters from a school counselor, a clinic and a landlord arrive while the front desk is out. AI E-mail sorts each one to housing, family support or youth programs, drafts the reply, and holds every sensitive message for the caseworker you named.

A volunteer's first shift on the phones

A caller asks how the utility help program works. The answer from your own program guide appears on the volunteer's screen with its source while she talks, the transcript goes to the right department, and her short training course waits for her at home tonight.

The community center's room and class calls

After school lets out, the community center's line fills with parents asking about the youth program and a neighborhood group wanting the multipurpose room on Saturday. The AI answers from your schedule and house rules, books the class spot and the room into their own calendars, and sends each confirmation before the front desk looks up.

A help request after the doors close

A father fills in the request form on your website after his shift ends. He gets a reply in seconds with what to bring, picks an intake time from the open slots, and his record is created with the whole conversation for the morning team.

Your rules

Where the AI stops and your caseworkers take over

A nonprofit answering service has to know exactly what it may say. Your team writes those limits once, and the AI keeps them at every door, day and night.

No counseling, legal or medical advice

It answers only from the program information your organization approved. It does not counsel, give legal or medical advice, or tell anyone what to do about their situation; those questions go to a person.

Danger hears your emergency instruction

When a caller says someone is in danger or at risk of harm, the AI gives your approved instruction to call emergency services or the crisis line you list, and transfers the call to the person on duty where your rules say so. Nothing is booked.

Eligibility stays with your staff

The AI explains the requirements you published and books the intake. It never decides who qualifies, approves assistance, or promises a benefit, a bed, a voucher or a food box.

Sensitive situations reach a person first

Abuse, a lockout tonight, a child's safety: you list the situations that skip the AI and go to a named person, and every chat, e-mail or form about them waits for your staff.

Records stay in your hands

No case file or document is released by the AI. Call recording is off as shipped, and a request for records is written down in full for the person you name.

Compared

Answering service for nonprofit teams compared: four ways to cover intake

When the phones ring faster than the team can pick up, non-profit organizations, community centers and social services offices tend to weigh the same choices: more staff and a voicemail box, volunteers on the phones, a call-center answering service, or one AI front office.

What the organization needsIntake staff and voicemailVolunteers on the phonesCall-center answering serviceZanus AI

Urgent or sensitive callsCaught if someone picks upHandled by whoever answersA script and a message slipYour emergency instruction first, then a named person
One record of every requestVoicemails and handwritten notesPaper call logsMessages forwarded by e-mailEvery call, chat, e-mail and form on one record

Each of those choices covers part of one door. Zanus AI puts the same approved program information, the same limits and the same record behind the phone, the website chat, the inbox and the forms, so a person asking for help hears one consistent answer and your caseworkers pick up exactly where the AI left off.

Frequently asked questions

Questions non-profits and community centers ask about a nonprofit answering service

What is a nonprofit answering service?

It is the service that picks up when people call a non-profit organization for help and the team is busy or the office is closed. Zanus AI does that job with one AI on your own number, not a room of operators, and goes further: it answers the website chat, the inbox and your request forms too, books the intake appointment with the right caseworker or program, and keeps every conversation on one record.

Can the AI book intake appointments with our caseworkers?

Yes. Each caseworker, program, site or room has its own calendar, and the AI books into the one that fits what the caller needs, by phone, chat or form. The person gets a confirmation and a reminder, and AI Auto-Call can phone the day before: a yes keeps the time, a no frees it for someone else.

Does it work for a community center's classes and room bookings?

Yes. Each class, program and room has its own calendar, so the AI can tell a parent which youth program still has spots, book a neighborhood group into the multipurpose room and send the confirmation. It answers from the schedule and house rules you approved, and a request it cannot fit goes to your front desk with the details written down.

Does the AI give counseling, legal or benefits advice?

No. It answers only from the information your organization approved, such as program hours, what to bring and the requirements you published. It does not counsel anyone, give legal or medical advice, or decide who is eligible. Those questions are written down and handed to the person your rules name.

What happens when a caller is in crisis or someone is in danger?

You write the instruction once, in your own words. A caller who says someone is in danger hears it, for example to call emergency services or the crisis line you list, and the call is transferred to the person on duty when your rules ask for that. Nothing is booked, and your team sees the whole conversation on the record.

Will it replace our intake staff or volunteers?

That is not the point. The AI takes the repeat questions, the Monday overflow and the after-hours calls, so your intake staff and volunteers have time for the people sitting in front of them. Each department chooses AI only, AI first or a person first, and you can change that setting any day.

Can people reach us in Spanish, Vietnamese or another language?

Yes. The phone answers each caller in the language they speak, the website chat works in 40 languages by text or by voice, and a call can be transferred to the staff member who speaks that language whenever your rules say so.

Can we keep the phone number on our flyers and website?

Yes. The number your community knows stays yours. You forward it the way you would forward it to any answering service, with no porting and nothing to install, and you can stop forwarding it whenever you like.

Does it replace our case management system?

No. Case notes, eligibility records and reports stay in the system your social services organization uses today. Zanus AI is the front office in front of it: it answers, books, sends reminders and keeps a front-office record of each conversation, so your caseworkers know who called, why, and what was said before they sit down with the person.

How is the personal information of the people we serve protected?

Your organization sets the rules. Call recording is off as shipped, each department sees only its own conversations and transcripts, and the messages you mark as sensitive wait for a named person. Whether your set-up meets your privacy obligations and your funders' requirements is for your organization and its advisors to decide.

How much does an answering service for nonprofit organizations cost?

Zanus AI is priced per company, never per seat, so every caseworker, coordinator and volunteer works under one subscription. You pick the modules your organization needs, with nothing to install and no long set-up project, and the plans are on the pricing page.

What is the difference between the 7-day free trial and the demo?

The free trial builds a sandbox of your own organization from your website and runs for 7 days, with no card: a phone line that answers as you, your website with Lisa on it and a dashboard. The demo is ready-made, needs nothing from you and arrives by e-mail in about 2 minutes.

How fast can it start answering our intake line?

In 2 minutes. Forward the line, tell Lisa your programs, sites, intake hours and the situations that go straight to a person, and the AI starts answering. Lisa reads your website for the rest, and every change is shown to you before it goes live.
