When you’re that budding nonprofit, every little bit of help counts. Free coffee from your local barista just for being one of the good guys or free hot dogs from your favorite Coney Island, just because they see how hard you’re working and they want to show their support for your nonprofit fundraising event. Every little bit helps. Same goes for tools, apps and online services. Just take a look around and see what’s out there. You’ll be pleasantly surprised to see that there are more than enough helpful tools out there to turn your nonprofit into a Swiss Army knife of efficiency. Below are some helpful tools for nonprofits:

  • GoFundMe Charity: For the fastest, easiest way to establish an online fundraising platform, say hello to GoFundMe Charity™.

Data transparency

So, when your nonprofit starts to grow, and you need more security, features and functionality, consider Gravity Software® (Gravity), a robust mid-market accounting software written on the Microsoft Power Platform (aka Dynamics 365 CRM). A proven platform that hosts over 5 million users worldwide.

Gravity's goal is to fill the gap between entry level accounting software like QuickBooks and expensive enterprise applications like Sage Intacct. What if your accounting software could promote transparency and efficiency, without suffering from the overwhelming cost of most higher end solutions? Nice huh?
