For nonprofits & community organizations

Programs, volunteers, donors and books — free actually helps

Nonprofits run real operations on budgets that make software line-items hurt. Coordinator gives a small organization the whole operational core — programs, people, events, money — genuinely free.

Free. No card. About two minutes to set up.

The software budget line

Every per-seat tool competes with the mission for the same dollars.

Volunteer coordination

Who's coming Saturday? The signup sheet, the group chat and hope.

Accountability reporting

The board and funders want clean numbers; the books are a shoebox.

Programs

Programs are projects with owners and outcomes

Each program runs as staged work with tasks, owners and deadlines; templates make the annual cycle repeatable, and reports show what's moving and what's stalled.

  • Grant deliverables as required records gating completion
  • Batch-create outreach tasks across a whole contact category
  • Every program's costs tracked against its budget

Events & donors

Events that fill and donors you actually know

Workshops and fundraisers run as bookable events with capacity and waitlists; every donor, member and volunteer carries their full history — gifts, attendance, conversations — on one contact page.

  • Donation and membership invoicing on your own payment rails, 0% platform cut
  • Donor categories with tree filters for appeals
  • A public shop for merch, tickets and memberships

Accountability

Books a board can trust

Real statements, budgets versus actuals, period locks and a full audit trail — the financial hygiene funders ask about, without a bookkeeping subscription.

  • Budgets per program with over/under visibility
  • Multi-entity books for fiscally-sponsored projects
  • Every action audited; treasurer gets read-only everything

Fair questions

Asked by businesses like yours

Is there a nonprofit discount?

The price is already the discount: everything is free for everyone. Your payment processor may offer nonprofit rates — and since payments run on your own account, you keep that benefit fully.

Does it handle fund accounting and donation receipts?

It provides real books, budgets and statements; formal fund accounting and jurisdiction-specific tax receipts aren't built in — check with your accountant whether your reporting needs fit.

Can the board see without touching?

Yes — read-only roles see everything you grant and can edit nothing; the audit trail records every change by every person.

100% free — every feature, every seat

Put the mission on rails

Free for the whole organization — staff, volunteers and the board alike.

Free. No card. About two minutes to set up.
