Churches and ministries often juggle a dozen tools — Mailchimp for emails, Fundraise Up for donations, Eventbrite for events, Shopify for orders — but no single platform shows the real people behind all that scattered data. Anor changes that by connecting to the tools you already use and stitching everything into one unified intelligence layer.^1
Anor automatically resolves identities across every connected system, deduplicating contacts so that the same person in Mailchimp, Fundraise Up, and Eventbrite shows up as one living profile. Each person gets an engagement score based on giving patterns, event attendance, and email activity — and Ask Anor, its AI-powered querying feature powered by Anthropic's Claude, lets teams ask questions across the full picture to surface actionable insights: lapsed donors who need a check-in, first-time guests who haven't returned, and trends in community health.^1 Its Intelligence Briefing feature delivers automated, prioritized recommendations — flagging supporters who haven't engaged in 60+ days, highlighting giving trends, and identifying which events drive the most new donors.^2
What sets Anor apart is its posture: it's explicitly not a CRM. You don't migrate data or retrain your team. It reads from your existing stack — Planning Center, Subsplash, Tithe.ly, Stripe, Shopify, Eventbrite, and more — and tells you what the data means for your relationships. As the team puts it: other tools store and show. Anor answers.^1 Its network intelligence feature maps the invisible connections between people, revealing small-group clusters and relational bridges that hold your community together.^1
Anor also offers geographic intelligence, plotting donations, orders, tickets, and partnerships on a live interactive map so you can see where your community is growing.^2 A 14-day free trial lets organizations test the platform with full access before committing, with white-glove setup included on every plan — Anor handles connecting your tools and building your data pipeline.^1
The team behind Anor brings deep ministry and technology experience. Founder and CEO Stephen McCaskell previously led Web3 and emerging technology at Compassion International and served at Ligonier Ministries; he's also an award-winning documentary filmmaker (Luther, Puritan, Epic) whose film Missionary received nominations at the 2026 International Christian Film Festival, and he co-founded Missionary.com.^4 In 2025 he co-authored Spirit and Circuit: Seeking Wisdom for the Church in the Age of AI, exploring how the Church has historically navigated technological change.^5 CTO Chad Helmer brings over twenty years in web architecture with roles at the International Mission Board, Schuyler Bibles, and The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.^4 CMO Michael Drew came from the venture-backed startup world with experience across Techstars and Y Combinator ecosystems.^4
Anor's privacy policy is notably transparent about AI: when a team member asks about a person or runs a search, the relevant records may be sent to Claude to answer, but that data is not retained by Anthropic and is never used to train any model, and an admin can exclude any individual from AI processing at any time.^6 Its terms also say customer data is never sold, shared with other customers, or used to train AI or machine learning models.^3
