Dona Launches Antonia

The Virtual Fundraising Assistant Empowering Charities with AI

Dona Donations is proud to announce the launch of Antonia, its new AI-powered virtual fundraising assistant, designed to help charities unlock their full fundraising potential through tailored insights, actionable recommendations, and real-time support.

Built into the Dona Portal, Antonia offers a friendly, intelligent and intuitive experience that combines the power of artificial intelligence with deep understanding of donor behaviour. Whether you’re a small community fundraiser or a national nonprofit, Antonia delivers personalised guidance that makes fundraising smarter, faster and more impactful.

What Antonia Can Do

Antonia provides charities with personalised, AI-generated:

  • Insights – Real-time highlights such as donation trends, peak giving days, first-time donor stats, and more.
  • Fundraising Recommendations – Smart suggestions to increase giving, such as recommended donation terminal configuration.
  • Encouragement & Recognition – Celebrating milestones like a charity’s 100th donation or largest fundraising month.
  • Supportive Nudges – Timely prompts like preparing for high-traffic giving seasons or reconnecting with lapsed donors.
  • Product Engagement – Updates on new features and invitations to engage with Dona’s community.

All content is tailored to each organisation’s activity — ensuring that the advice and updates Antonia shares are timely, relevant, and meaningful.

Bringing Personality to AI

Antonia is not just a name — she has a character. Designed as a friendly, approachable fundraising expert, Antonia appears visually within the Dona Management Portal to communicate insights and updates with warmth and clarity. This helps charities feel supported rather than overwhelmed, and adds a human touch to powerful machine learning.

Dona’s mission is to help charities raise more through technology. With Antonia, the platform takes a major leap forward in turning data into action — empowering users to achieve more with every donation received.
