The Impact of Conversation Readiness

Increase in donor outreach and engagement
Increase in fundrasier Ask Effectiveness
More effective navigating high-stakes meetings
Your foundation team carry big portfolios, high expectations, and constant pressure. When confidence lags, outreach stalls and donor relationships suffer. The challenge isn’t strategy—it’s readiness.
Our scenarios and coaching are trauma-informed and patient-centric. Fundraisers learn how to acknowledge patient experience respectfully, avoid clinical speculation, and escalate clinical questions to the appropriate expert. The platform prompts fundraisers to keep practice avatars non-identifying—no PHI, no clinical details—ensuring both compliance and ethical practice.
Your fundraisers aren’t clinicians. They don’t need to be. Practivated helps them practice bridging to the right expert instead of trying to answer technical questions they’re not equipped for.
Moving from “say yes to everything” to “donor partnership within organizational priorities” is a massive culture change. Practivated scenarios can include donors who push back, expect special treatment, or challenge your programmatic direction—so your team practices holding boundaries respectfully.
Healthcare systems are big. Ascension is big. Practivated helps fundraisers practice navigating “I need to connect with my leadership on that” or “Let me find out how that decision gets made in our system” without sounding evasive.
Once your team sees results, you’ll have colleagues across your health system asking about it. Our enterprise model is built for this—consistent training, shared best practices, site-level customization where needed.
Technology built by those who have been there.
“I’ve been in your shoes.”
“I was an accidental fundraiser who burned out trying to do everything perfectly. I became a coach and trainer because I learned that confidence—not just strategy—is what transforms fundraising.
I built Practivated because I couldn’t scale the one thing that matters most: practice. Real, repeated, safe practice of the conversations that feel the hardest.
Healthcare philanthropy teams carry unique pressures. Grateful patients deserve thoughtful cultivation. Legacy donors deserve respectful re-engagement. Your fundraisers deserve tools that meet them where they are.”
Your foundation team faces unprecedented challenges: high fundraiser turnover, early-career team members needing confidence, complex portfolios across multiple units, and the tension between digital preferences and donor expectations for personal connection. Practivated gives your fundraisers a safe space to practice and build skills quickly.
