Description:
Rōmy is pioneering philanthropic intelligence with the world's first agentic AI designed to revolutionize donor discovery for nonprofits. Like a "truffle hound" unearthing hidden treasures, Rōmy™ finds and qualifies major donors that traditional research overlooks. Our AI agents automate donor intelligence, surface hidden networks of wealth and give nonprofits the competitive edge needed to secure transformational gifts. By combining advanced data science with a mission-driven approach, Rōmy enables scalable, intelligent fundraising—helping nonprofits grow faster, build stronger relationships, and amplify their global impact. Four out of five nonprofits in America (1.2 million of a total of 1.5 million) receive less than $1 million in contributed donation income and can't afford expensive software for donor development. Named after the Italian dog breed Lagotto Romagnolo, Rōmy is an "agentic AI truffle hound" helping small nonprofits find new major donors at a fraction of the cost of existing solutions. Founder & CEO Howard Freeman has spent thirty years as a career fundraising with more than $250 million raised. He has learned and overcome many common problems in this space and now offers Rōmy as an affordable solution for high-performing smaller nonprofits wanting to scale for greater impact.
