Data infrastructure for nonprofits

Your nonprofit raised $10M last year. Most of those donors will never give again.

We help nonprofits raising $5M–$25M unify their data, see every donor clearly, and keep them coming back.

The retention crisis

What happens to 100 of your donors over the next 5 years?

40% retention rate · compounded annually

100 donors. 5 years. 1 left.

This is what poor retention looks like at scale.
Most nonprofits don't see it until it's too late.

Here's why this keeps happening

85%

Never give again

85% of first-time donors never give a second gift. You spent thousands acquiring them — and they disappear before you even know their name.

5–10

Disconnected systems

Your donor data lives in 5–10 different platforms. You can't see who's at risk of lapsing because you can't see them at all.

43%

The benchmark most never hit

The average nonprofit retains just 43% of its donors year over year. Most organizations we talk to are well below that — and don’t even know it.

The difference between a stalling nonprofit and a scaling one isn't ambition. It's whether you can see your donors clearly enough to keep them.

How it works

From scattered data to donor retention in weeks

01

Find the Leaks

2 weeks

We audit your systems and show you exactly where donors are falling through the cracks — and how much it's costing you.

02

Connect the Data

4–12 weeks

We unify your scattered systems so you can see every donor, every gift, every interaction in one place. Your team starts identifying at-risk donors in real time.

03

Keep More Donors

Ongoing

Targeted outreach. Personalized impact reports. Lapsed donor reactivation. Your retention climbs — and your revenue follows.

What happens after you fix the data

Datstra has been an amazing addition to our team and our overall tech stack. They've essentially become our data team helping us become more efficient, more data-driven, and a lot more intentional in how we operate across our organization. The data warehouse they built has opened up so many possibilities for us. It's allowed us to expand, optimize, and even build new tools that serve our mission better. Whether it's donor insights, campaign performance, or internal reporting, Datstra has helped us level up across the board. We're grateful for onboarding them. Their professionalism and integrity have been exceptional.
Mustafa Ahmed CTO, Human Development Fund
Working with Datstra was life changing. They joined our team when we had no data team and data used to be a later 'to-do' item for engineering, often getting moved to tomorrow. This led to costly delays in decision making. No one had ever envisioned, designed and implemented an end to end data infrastructure at the company even though we already had 1M users. Datstra did that with mastery. They took the bull by the horns, worked with a lot of ambiguity and created clarity for everyone… such that the company couldn't imagine existing without a data team.
Maria Arshad Chief Product Officer, LaunchGood
“Data today is yesterdays oil. And if you don't have your infrastructure in order — you won't be able to rely on it later when it matters.. like in 5 weeks time from now. Datstra was my go to daily team who would help me systematically think about data intelligence. They still are despite us not working together in the same company.”
Zain Miah Founder, Build Better
