How Mightycause Unlocked Precise Nonprofit Prospecting with Origami
Mightycause partnered with Origami to build a custom research workflow that surfaces the right nonprofit prospects, at the right time, with the right donation infrastructure — enabling smarter outreach and scalable growth.
/ KEY RESULTS
/ THE CHALLENGE
Mightycause provides fundraising infrastructure to thousands of nonprofits — from small 501(c)(3)s to statewide giving event platforms. But identifying which orgs were actively fundraising (versus passive informational sites) was nearly impossible using standard B2B tools.
They needed to know:
- ■Does the site actually accept donations?
- ■What platform are they using (Classy, Neon One, Givebutter, etc.)?
- ■Is this a membership-based org (which we can't support)?
- ■Are they tax-deductible? (501(c)(3) only)
Mightycause's sales team was spending hours manually inspecting websites, source code, and footers to answer these questions. It didn't scale.
/ THE ORIGAMI SOLUTION
Origami deployed a bespoke AI agent trained to detect:
- ■Donation buttons present on-site
- ■Payment processor technologies (via URL, form data, and page metadata)
- ■IRS Form 990 data (including EINs, board members, and revenue)
- ■Org type exclusions (like 501(c)(4)s and membership-only associations)
Each week, Mightycause receives an enriched, de-duped, feedback-aware dataset:
- ■Verified donation flow presence
- ■Identified payment technology (Classy, Neon, Donorbox, etc.)
- ■Category (e.g., food bank, animal rescue)
- ■Public EIN + direct link to Form 990 PDF
- ■Contact info (emails, phones, org websites)
/ WHY IT WORKED
- ■Real-Time Agent Training: Sales reps gave feedback directly in Slack, correcting misclassified tech or filtering out bad-fit orgs. Origami's agents updated weekly to reflect that input.
- ■HubSpot Integration: Lead fields mapped cleanly into Mightycause's CRM, including custom data like donation method and 990-linked mission statement.
- ■Context-Driven Targeting: Instead of emailing every nonprofit, the team focused only on the ones actively soliciting donations with compatible platforms.
/ A REP-CENTRIC SYSTEM
Unlike static databases, Origami is dynamic. Each week, Greg's team:
- ■Receives net-new orgs with verified intent and infra
- ■Reviews data inside a shared dashboard
- ■Filters leads based on donation provider, location, and org type
- ■Flags issues — which are resolved in the next iteration
No bloat. No filler. Just clean signals and human feedback.
"Origami is helping us solve one of the hardest challenges in nonprofit SaaS — cutting through the noise to find orgs that are actually ready to buy."Greg Sturm, Senior Marketing Manager, Mightycause
