For United Way agency partners

Your gateway to the regionalgiving network.

If your organization receives designations through a local United Way, there’s a good chance those distributions already run on StratusLIVE. We build the technology behind more than 25 United Ways, and now we’re opening it up to the agencies those networks serve.

30 minutes. Live product. Real data. No deck.

  • The infrastructure behind 25+ United Way networks
  • Online giving and donor records in production today
  • Free early access. No commitment.

The network you’re already part of

01

A donor designates your organization at work

Workplace campaigns across United Way networks run on StratusLIVE.

02

The distribution reaches you through the network

Designation processing and payouts on the same platform.

03

The relationship becomes yours to grow

Ignite puts the network’s tools on your side of the screen.

The capacity gap

Your mission is growing. Your team isn’t.

You know the drill: designations arrive as a line on a report. The donor behind the gift stays anonymous. Your “donor database” is a spreadsheet, your receipting is manual, and technology budgets go to keeping the lights on, not building capacity.

It isn’t a commitment problem. It’s a capacity problem, and it’s fixable at the infrastructure level.

13.2%

of nonprofit operating budgets go to technology. Only 1% of that tech spend goes to training and adoption.

41%

cite lack of process automation as a top internal challenge; 29% are slowed by disconnected systems.

And most agencies can’t take an online gift.

Across United Way networks, most agencies still can’t accept an online donation on their own site. That’s a leak between you and donors who already chose you.

On the platform today

The platform you already rely on, now built for you.

The same infrastructure your United Way runs on now works for your organization: online giving, a real constituent record behind every gift, and the tools to steward the donors who designate to you.

Online giving that starts a relationship

Branded donation pages, live in weeks, with one-time and recurring gifts. Every transaction begins a real donor record, not a spreadsheet row.

A real record behind every donor

Profiles, preferences, and giving history on one constituent record. The people who designate to you stop being strangers.

Stewardship your team can run

Receipting, thank-yous, and follow-up from the same record the gift landed on. Capacity without adding headcount.

The full platform, when you want it

CRM, fundraising, marketing, and finance on the same infrastructure, there if and when your organization is ready for more.

Agency Workspace

The network’s tools, on your side of the screen.

The Agency Workspace is the modern successor to the portal your network already uses: one workspace for designations, payouts, and compliance, inside the same platform your United Way relationship lives in.

Access for agency partners opens in waves. Early-access members walk in first, get preview sessions, and keep a direct line to the team.

Join the early-access list

01

Know when you’re designated.

Real-time visibility when a workplace donor chooses your organization, not a line on a quarterly report.

02

See your money in motion.

Distribution and payout reporting on demand, with export when you need it.

03

Compliance without the scramble.

W-9s, certifications, and banking documents in one place, with renewal reminders before anything lapses.

Built with the networks you know

StratusLIVE powers United Way organizations across the country.

From Hawai‘i to New England, the networks your organization is part of run their workplace campaigns, designations, and agency funding on this platform, and they have for years.

Questions

Straight answers for agency partners.

The questions agencies ask us first, answered straight.

How do I know if this applies to my organization?

If your organization receives workplace-designation distributions through a local United Way, there’s a good chance that network runs on StratusLIVE. Not sure? Ask us, or ask your United Way.

Is this replacing the portal my United Way uses?

No. Your United Way’s systems and your relationship with them continue exactly as they are. This is about giving your organization its own tools on the same infrastructure.

Do we have to migrate anything to get started?

No. The Agency Workspace is a fresh start, not a data migration. Your organization registers directly, which takes minutes and puts you in control of your own users.

What does early access cost?

The early-access list is free and commits you to nothing. When you’re ready to talk about the platform, we’ll walk you through pricing plainly, with no procurement maze.
