Challenges Nonprofits face

  • Grant reporting requirements vary by funder; tracking outcomes + impact is manual
  • Volunteer hours tracking + Department of Labor compliance for organizations using interns
  • Donor data hygiene across CRM + fundraising platform + email is constant work

What to prioritize when picking a tool

  • Online fundraising (Classy, Givebutter, Donorbox, GiveLively)
  • Fund accounting (Aplos, MIP, Sage Intacct Nonprofit)
