DonorDock Launches Otto, an Intelligent Assistant for Small Fundraising Teams
DonorDock, an all-in-one fundraising, CRM, and stewardship platform built for small and growing nonprofits, announced the launch of Otto, an AI-enabled assistant designed to help overwhelmed fundraising teams focus on what matters most—and get it done.
Otto is now available to every DonorDock customer, from organizations raising their first $100,000 to those with thousands of donors and millions in annual revenue. With Otto, small teams gain access to intelligent automation, smart nudges, and personalized recommendations that remove the guesswork from fundraising and help them focus where it counts.
“Otto represents a major step forward in how small nonprofits can work smarter,” said Matt Bitzegaio, CEO and co-founder of DonorDock. “We’ve always believed that you shouldn’t need a full-time operations team—or a Fortune 500 budget—to fundraise effectively. Otto is the partner every fundraiser deserves: always on, always focused, and always looking out for what matters most.”
Otto is seamlessly embedded into DonorDock’s core platform, surfacing real-time opportunities, simplifying communication, and handling repetitive tasks so fundraisers can spend less time managing systems and more time deepening relationships.
“What excites me most about Otto is that it’s not just a feature—it’s a shift in how small teams operate,” said Andrew Lutgen, CTO and co-founder. “We’ve built Otto with context-awareness, meaning it understands your donors, your campaigns, and your priorities. That allows it to deliver timely guidance and automation that actually is helpful.”
Otto is the first release in a broader wave of AI-powered innovation planned by DonorDock, including Otto Pro, launching later this year, which will offer enhanced capabilities for power users and growing teams.
“There’s a myth in the nonprofit world that the answer is always more—more tools, more features, more complexity,” said Noah Barnett, Chief Strategy Officer at DonorDock. “We believe that real impact comes from focus, not noise. Otto was built to give fundraisers relief from their never-ending to-do lists and help them make meaningful progress every day.”
DonorDock customers can start using Otto today, with no additional setup or cost. Otto is included in all DonorDock plans.
