A not for profit runs on tight administration ratios and a phone that carries everything: donors, clients, volunteers, funders and people who need help. All of it, on almost no staff.
Your funders judge you on how little you spend on overheads, which is exactly why you cannot staff a phone. The consequence is that donors and clients both go unanswered.
These are not phone problems. They are mission and funding problems that arrive down a phone line.
Every administrative dollar is scrutinised by funders, so the phone is nobody's job by design.
One is trying to give you money and one is trying to get help. They queue behind each other.
A campaign or a media mention produces a flood of calls in a day, against a team of four.
Inconsistent, unreliable and unfair to people giving their time freely.
Somebody in difficulty should never be asked to hold or to ring back.
You are asked to demonstrate reach and demand, and your phone produces no data at all.
This is the call that used to ring out. Here it is being answered by a Uniden Voice AI phone agent, in an Australian accent, from what you told it about your organisation.
Publish one number. Behind it, donations are taken, clients reach the service they need, and anyone vulnerable always reaches a person.
Not for profit call volume spikes around appeals, media coverage and the end of financial year giving period. The spikes are enormous relative to your staffing and completely unstaffable.
An AI agent answers unlimited simultaneous calls, converts donor intent while it exists, and makes sure clients and vulnerable callers are never left in a queue behind a fundraising campaign.
Uniden Voice connects to more than a thousand apps and offers open APIs, so a call arrives with the supporter or client and their history attached rather than just a number.
The caller's name, their history and their open record appear on the handset or in the app as it rings, so the first thing out of your mouth is their name and not "who am I speaking with".
Ring a supporter straight from the record in your CRM or donor system, without ever typing a number. Fewer wrong numbers, and every call logged against the right file automatically.
Recording, transcript, AI summary and the next action land in your CRM or your shared drive. Nobody has to remember what was promised on a Friday afternoon.
Plenty of platforms will sell you AI at enterprise prices. Very few start at a single user, keep every conversation onshore, and come from a brand Australians have known since 1966.
Designed and built in Australia, hosted in Australian datacentres, and supported by Australians you can actually get on the phone. Your customer conversations do not leave the country.
The AI answers in a genuine Australian voice. It matters, because a caller who thinks they have reached an offshore call centre hangs up before you get the chance to help them.
Calls, recordings and transcripts stay in Australian datacentres, on an Australian owned platform, supported by Australians. Conversations with vulnerable people never leave the country.
Keep your numbers including 1300 and 1800, and take the NBN connection from us too. Fewer vendors to chase when something goes wrong at the worst possible moment.
Only with the boundaries set correctly, which is how we configure it. The agent does not attempt to support, assess or counsel anybody. It recognises that a caller needs a person and escalates immediately, which is faster than a voicemail and a callback.
For crisis situations the agent is scripted to direct callers to the appropriate emergency or crisis service, and to your own on call arrangements. You define all of it.
It can capture the donation intent, the amount and the frequency, and send a secure link so the supporter completes it while they still want to. That timing matters enormously during an appeal.
It can also capture the details for your team to process, and it always logs the supporter so nothing is lost.
It usually improves the picture rather than worsening it, because the alternative is either an unanswered phone or a salary. Plans start at a single user, so the cost is a fraction of an administrative hire.
It also produces call data you can report to funders as evidence of demand, which most organisations currently cannot produce at all.
It hands over, and you decide where. Anyone in distress, any safeguarding concern and any complaint can go straight through to a person, to a specific queue, or to a manager's mobile.
The caller is not asked to repeat themselves either. Whoever picks up gets the context the agent already gathered. Outside hours the agent takes the details, sends an SMS confirmation and queues the callback.
That is where it earns its keep. You advertise one number and we route behind it: by office, by time of day, by queue, with overflow so a call at a flat out office rings somewhere quieter instead of ringing out.
Each office can keep its own greeting and its own direct number as well. Reporting rolls up across all of them, so you can finally compare how each one handles its phone.
No. Number portability is standard, including 1300 and 1800 numbers, so the number on your appeal materials, your website and your directory listings and on years of Google results stays exactly as it is.
We port it across and plan the cutover around your hours, not ours.
Calls keep flowing. The mobile app keeps working over 4G and 5G, so your people can answer on their handsets while a site connection is down, and call flows can be set to divert to mobiles automatically.
You can also take your NBN service from Uniden Voice, so the connection and the phone system are one provider with one support number, instead of two companies each suggesting the problem belongs to the other.
A single site can be live quickly, because the apps need no hardware and the handsets arrive ready to plug in. The part worth doing properly is the call flow and the AI agent's knowledge of your business, and we build that with you rather than handing you a manual.
Number porting is the one step with an external timeline, so we usually run your new setup alongside the old line until the port completes. You never trade a day without a phone.
