Introducing FundCoach

Give your fundraisers super-powers. FundCoach gets every fundraising interaction off on the right foot.

At Hubbub, we built the world’s first AI fundraising training software. It uses state-of-the-art AI voice models and lets you pick from a bank of ready-made scenarios or configure your own, so every fundraiser can rehearse the conversations that matter before they happen for real.

Major gift fundraisers get to practise that tricky call as many times as they like, building confidence and sharpening objection handling. Student callers never need to go into a shift or a campaign unprepared. FundCoach is live and ready to use across your whole fundraising operation, from the annual telethon to your most senior gift officers, at universities and charities in the UK and the US.

Why institutions choose Hubbub

Ambitious targets. Limited time. Technology that holds you back.

Fundraising teams are being asked to reach more donors and raise more income, often without additional capacity, specialist expertise or the right tools. We give you the technology, structure and experienced support to move forward with confidence.

Expertise you can use

Work with people who understand annual giving because they have delivered campaigns from inside fundraising teams themselves. Giving days, telephone campaigns, crowdfunding, auctions and year-round programmes, with universities, colleges, schools and charities.

Technology built for fundraising

Purpose-built platforms designed around donor participation, campaign performance and long-term engagement, rather than general-purpose tools bent into shape.

Capacity when you need it

Add experienced strategic and delivery support without having to grow your permanent team. A named consultant and a dedicated platform team, from early planning through to campaign day.

A proven, lower-risk approach

Follow a clear methodology refined across more than 300 Giving Days, with visible milestones, dedicated support and evidence from institutions like yours.

Technology shaped by more than 300 Giving Days, and by the people who ran them, working as one to deliver a campaign your community will remember.
