Your fundraising department — whatever your size.
From a single volunteer-run team to a full development office: if your organization raises money to keep going, In Play becomes the department that runs it. One campaign or six at once, all in one workspace, every message managed.
See exactly how we run fundraising for your kind of organization.
Museums, zoos, hospitals, and clubs don't run one campaign a year.
They run a membership program, a capital campaign, a grant calendar, a major-gift pipeline, corporate sponsors, and a gala — usually in six different tools, with nothing talking to each other. Mission Control keeps every effort, every supporter, and every dollar in one place, and our team operates the marketing behind all of it.
Membership programs, annual funds, capital projects, and exhibition sponsorships — coordinated in one workspace.

You bring the mission. We run the campaign.
Every organization we work with is different. The way we support them isn't.
Per campaign, versus running it yourselves.
From approved application to first send.
Email, SMS, social, and print — on your brand.
- You have a real audience — members, families, alumni, congregation, donors, or patrons.
- You have a fundraising goal and a window to hit it.
- You're running several efforts at once and want them coordinated in one place.
- You want a team to run the campaign — not another tool to learn.
- You want leadership and board approvals, not surprises.
- You want a self-serve template you'll operate yourselves.
- You have no audience list and no plan to build one.
- You need a payment processor only, with no marketing.

See it run for an organization like yours.
A volunteer-run soccer club and a museum development office — same model, very different campaigns.
Northline United had 14 teams, a parent board with day jobs, and a fall kit bill nobody had budgeted for. In Play ran the campaign end to end — offer, creative, outreach, and follow-up — while the club coached.
Riverbend needed a new hall of paleontology and had a development director, a part-time grant writer, and a board that wanted weekly numbers. In Play became the department they couldn't hire.
