MzN Unveils AI “Digital Teammate” to Supercharge Small NGO Fundraising

MzN International, a global social enterprise focused on helping mission-driven organisations scale impact, has officially launched the first of four AI-powered “Digital Teammates” designed specifically for small to medium-sized NGOs.

The new Fundraising Digital Teammate, developed in partnership with Human Planet, enters beta this week and is already gaining traction among nonprofits eager to enhance their donor engagement strategies. Over 100 NGOs are currently testing the platform, with more than 300 registering broader interest in MzN’s upcoming AI suite.

At its core, the agent is a virtual teammate—able to identify donor opportunities, match funding prospects to organisational strengths, and build tailored fundraising strategies. It also delivers strategic guidance like SWOT analyses and donor landscape mapping, typically only available to well-resourced NGOs with dedicated fundraising staff or consultants.

“We’re tired of seeing small NGOs doing the hardest work with the fewest resources,” said Chris Meyer zu Natrup, Managing Director at MzN International. “This is our answer: AI agents that work like real teammates. The fundraising agent delivers strategy, opportunity, and insights every week—without burnout, without overhead.”

Turning AI into an ally for good

Unlike traditional nonprofit tech platforms, MzN’s agents don’t simply automate admin tasks—they’re agentic AI systems built to collaborate actively and offer proactive, strategic input. Each agent is designed to reduce cost, increase capacity, and help small NGOs focus more on delivering frontline impact.

While agentic AI is often discussed in the context of enterprise productivity or autonomous business functions, MzN’s approach reframes the technology for public good—empowering nonprofits, not replacing them.

The fundraising agent is just the beginning. Between now and September 2025, MzN plans to roll out three more AI Digital Teammates focused on:

  • Communications and storytelling

  • Impact measurement and reporting

  • Market and policy research

Each new agent will be launched monthly in a phased release, with a strong focus on community feedback during the beta phase to ensure the products reflect the diverse needs of NGOs around the world.

The platform operates on a freemium model to ensure accessibility for smaller organisations while providing scalable functionality for NGOs with growth ambitions.

A new model for scaling social impact

MzN, founded in 2011, works with NGOs and international development organisations in over 50 countries. The company has long championed lean, agile strategies for the social sector—focusing on helping NGOs “do good, better” through data, technology, and ethical innovation.

This latest move into AI-powered strategy tools underscores MzN’s belief that nonprofits deserve enterprise-grade tools without enterprise-level cost or complexity.

Beta now open
