Charity enquiry volume is lumpy and the teams answering it are usually small, part-time or volunteer-staffed. Appeals, year-end giving and emergency campaigns each produce a spike of donation questions at exactly the moment the team is busiest. Bookbag is an AI agent that answers donor, volunteer and service-user questions from your own material — annual reports, impact pages, policies and FAQs — around the clock, and routes anything sensitive or urgent to a person immediately.
The support challenges in nonprofits & charities
Appeal peaks land on a small team
Year-end giving, emergency appeals and campaign launches concentrate donation questions into days that nobody is staffed for.
Three audiences with nothing in common
Donors, volunteers and service users all write to the same inbox, and each needs a completely different kind of answer.
Service users need help outside office hours
The people who most need information are least likely to be able to ask for it between nine and five on a weekday.
Budget for support tooling is tight
Per-resolution pricing means the better your automation works, the more it costs, which is the wrong shape for a charity budget.
How Bookbag helps
Donation and giving questions answered instantly
Setting up a regular gift, changing or cancelling it, tax treatment, in-memory giving and where the money goes, all from your own published material.
Volunteer enquiries captured and routed
The collect-lead skill records interest, availability and location, then passes the volunteer to the right coordinator instead of a generic inbox.
Sensitive cases escalated immediately
Service-user conversations that need a person are routed straight to your team with the full context, and you decide which topics always bypass the agent.
Answers from reports and policies you already publish
Import annual reports, impact PDFs, grant criteria and safeguarding policies so the agent answers from your own words.
Flat pricing, and a free plan to start
Message-credit plans with no per-resolution fee mean a successful appeal does not produce a surprise support bill.
One agent across web, email and messaging
The same knowledge answers on your site, in the inbox, on WhatsApp and on social messaging, which matters when your audiences use different channels.
