Nonprofit software automates all areas of nonprofit organizations, from fundraising events and donor database management to general accounting and customer relationship management (CRM).
There are nonprofit solutions that offer single applications for nonprofit accounting, donations management, and membership management. There are also all-in-one, fully integrated options with a suite of functionality to manage your nonprofit inside and out..
Users of nonprofit software include advocacy groups, charitable institutions, government organizations, and faith/religious-based congregations.
For nonprofit organizations, using an industry-specific solution to account for donors and donations, fundraising operations, gifts, membership and other sources of funding is crucial to maximizing outreach, productivity, and engagement with donors.
What Are The Features of Nonprofit Software ?
- Communication tools: Includes email marketing, text messages, or traditional direct mail for outreach. A common feature in nonprofit CRM software
- Fundraising: Execute highly targeted marketing plans. Enable the creation of custom campaigns to link online donations and physical donations in a single system. Keep track of donations tied to specific campaigns.
- Campaign reporting: Put together custom reports to account for donations, grants, pledges and other sources of funding. Includes data-driven analysis to measure fundraising performance, donor retention, and historical fundraising campaign success.
- Donation management: Tracks donations and pledges made by donors through fundraising campaigns. Anticipate inbound donations; process recurring donations with ACH or credit card payments; organize corporate donations, matched gifts, and any other source of contributions.
- Contact management: Keep records on past donors to streamline communication of donation pleas, marketing materials, and invites for various events.
- Event planning: Organize and host charitable events, such as in-person fundraisers or awareness campaigns.
- Membership management:Â Track different levels of memberships such as group/family or single. Share documents to members via their updated contact information. Allow referrals for new members or allow members to sign up for events or adjust online billing preferences.
What Are The Benefits of Nonprofit Software?
Anything that helps your organization stay organized when it comes to people-to-people relationships will fall under a nonprofit database and membership software. One could think of these solutions as being nonprofit CRMs since nonprofits are primarily looking to track metrics on 3 distinct types of people:
- Donors:Â Analyze which campaigns they give to, manage communications between them and the organization, and provide the appropriate tax forms to them at year end.
- Volunteers:Â Store contact info, release forms, hours worked, availability, and past experiences. Provide real-time reports to see which individuals are having the most level of success. Determine which events have drawn the most interest.
- Members:Â databases act as a way to grow your membership programs. Similar to how memberships are managed in a professional association, membership databases provide constituent relationship management and track member information, communication efforts with members, help keep members engaged, and give members access to their account. Fees can be managed in a straight-forward manner and members can sign up for in-demand volunteer spots or help organize fundraising campaigns.
