Donations, volunteers and grant mail, sorted and answered

What arrives

The email Non-Profit teams work through every day

Donor questions, volunteer sign-ups and funder mail arrive in one inbox, looked after by a small team

Volunteer forms and donation receipts arrive as attachments that someone types into a list

A grant report needs amounts and periods pulled together before the deadline

Beneficiaries and partners write in their own languages

A thank-you to a donor waits behind everything else

When volunteers share one mailbox, the same person gets answered twice

Triage

Your Non-Profit inbox, sorted the way you sort it

Kerna starts you with five categories built for this industry and hands them to you in your own language. Rename them, rewrite them, or add one of your own. Nothing is fixed and nothing is saved until you say so.

Replies in the sender's language

Kerna detects the language of the message and drafts the reply in it, in any of 45 languages. You check it and send it.

Grant deadlines into the calendar

Dates found in an email go to the calendar when you choose to, with a warning if they clash.

One person on each email (Outlook)

In an Outlook shared mailbox, everyone on your Kerna team sees who is handling each email, where it stands, and when a colleague is already replying. Business and Enterprise.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a discount for non-profits?

Write to us through the contact form. Non-profit requests are reviewed case by case.

Can volunteers work from one mailbox?

In Outlook, on Business (5 seats) and Enterprise (25). Everyone on your Kerna team sees who is handling each email and where it stands.

How does it handle sensitive cases?

Every reply is a draft that a person reads before it is sent. Kerna acts only when someone uses a feature and never scans the mailbox in the background. The text a feature needs goes to OpenAI under Zero Data Retention terms, and Kerna does not write email content to its databases, logs or backups. Kerna's servers are in Belgium and account data is stored in Warsaw; OpenAI may process data in the US under Standard Contractual Clauses. The trust page and the DPA have the detail.

Can we start for free?

Yes. The Starter plan is free, with no card.
