ActionKit
What it is
ActionKit is advocacy, fundraising and online organizing software for progressive organizations and campaigns. Its campaign tools cover petitions, letters, surveys, calls, fundraising campaigns and action-alert emails. Email functions include personalization, audience segmentation, A/B testing, scheduled mailings and list hygiene; fundraising supports one-time and recurring donations, targeted asks and donation management. Teams can direct letters and calls to U.S. state or federal legislators or other targets, and deliver signatures through email, petition drop tools or the Communicating with Congress API. Event tools support staff- and user-hosted events, recruitment, maps, reminders and reporting. Analysis options include built-in reports, a point-and-click query builder and direct SQL access. The platform lists integrations with donation processors and other services, and APIs for data access, page creation and user actions. The maker says one subscription covers the whole platform and support, without add-on packages or a limited lower-priced tier. Pricing is available on request. ActionKit is available only to progressive organizations and campaigns. Its release archive said the built-in Salesforce integration was scheduled to shut down in September 2026.
