Start with the free and donated software every eligible nonprofit should claim, layer on the paid tools worth paying for, and follow practical guides written for lean teams. When you would rather not do it yourself, we can run it for you.
Honest, sourced reviews of nonprofit software, with free-vs-paid and the verification path marked on every card. We recommend free and donated tools first, every time.
The free and heavily donated software every eligible nonprofit should claim before paying for anything: Google for Nonprofits, TechSoup, Microsoft, Canva, and the validation partners that unlock them. Claim these first and the rest of your budget goes further.
Donation & FundraisingHow you actually take the money: online donation forms, recurring giving, peer-to-peer, and event fundraising platforms. Fees matter as much as features here, so we show the honest math on what each one keeps.
Donor CRMThe system of record for your supporters: donor and constituent relationship managers that track gifts, communications, and relationships so no donor slips through the cracks. The right pick scales with your list without breaking a small budget.
Grants & Grant ResearchFinding and winning grant funding: prospect research databases, deadline tracking, and reporting tools that turn a scattered grants effort into a repeatable pipeline. Powerful, but priced for organizations that are actively applying.
Email & MarketingReaching supporters at scale: email marketing, newsletters, and automation that turn one-time donors into a warm, engaged list. Deliverability and per-contact pricing are what separate the good from the merely cheap.
Accounting & FinanceKeeping the books clean and audit-ready: fund accounting, bookkeeping, and finance tools built for the way nonprofits track restricted funds, grants, and program budgets, not generic small-business ledgers.
Step-by-step playbooks on the work that actually moves the needle: securing Google Ad Grants, writing grant proposals, building donor email that lands, converting one-time donors into monthly sustainers, and running a year-end campaign. Practical, free, and written for small nonprofits.
Read the guidesYou did not start a nonprofit to become a marketing expert. Our team activates your $10,000/month Google Ad Grant, sets up the tools, and runs your marketing - and we get paid mostly from the revenue we generate, so there is little risk to you.
Low startup cost, no long-term lock-in, built for organizations with budgets under $500k.
