CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGER (CRM)

CRMs provide many benefits to organizations. They let you move from Excel spreadsheets to platforms that store all of the data in one place, standardize how you collect the data, and ensure that as your team evolves, there is a solid and reliable record for the folks who will follow. Manage fundraising, volunteers, and programs all in one place!

Power of Us Program gives nonprofits free licenses

Typically requires a consultant to help format
