In their own words
ActionKit
ActionKit is advocacy, fundraising, and online organizing software for progressive organizations and campaigns. It supports petitions, letters, surveys, calls, fundraising campaigns, and action alert emails. Email tools include personalization, segmented targeting, A/B testing, scheduled mailings, and list hygiene; fundraising covers one-time and recurring donations, targeted asks, and donation management. Teams can direct letters and calls to U.S. state or federal legislators or custom targets, then deliver signatures by email, petition drop tools, or the Communicating with Congress API. Event features cover staff- and user-hosted events, recruitment, maps, reminders, and reporting. Built-in reports, a point-and-click query builder, and direct SQL access support analysis. The platform lists payment and service integrations, including Braintree, PayPal, ActBlue, Salesforce, and Mobilize America. Its APIs provide data access and support creating pages, submitting actions, and sending after-action emails. The maker says subscription includes the full platform and responsive support, without a lower-priced limited-functionality option. Pricing is by request. ActionKit is only available to progressive organizations and campaigns. Its release archive says the built-in Salesforce integration was scheduled to shut down in September 2026.
