About Cotara

We believe generosity is bigger than the gift.

Every donation has a story. Someone cared enough to give. Someone believed enough to ask. Someone inspired someone else to act.

Yet so much of that story goes unnoticed.

Why we built Cotara

What is a supporter really worth?

The value of a supporter is more than their gift. Someone who gives $20 and inspires ten others may matter as much as someone who gives $1,000.

A gift total puts James first. Cotara shows you Sarah too.

How it works

From scattered records to the next right follow-up.

Add gifts, monthly gifts, events, referrals and past records by upload, donation pages or API.

Cotara matches each record to one person, merges duplicates and finds signals. Each signal becomes a task with the reason and the next step.

How Cotara processes your dataGifts, monthly gifts, events, referrals and past records enter by upload, from Cotara donation pages, or by API. They pass through a funnel into the Cotara engine, which matches records to people, merges duplicates and finds signals. Records become one profile per supporter. Signals come out as tasks, for example: call a loyal donor who has gone quiet, send a card-update note after a failed monthly gift, thank a first-time donor, thank a supporter who introduced three others.
