Systems for Nonprofits & Charities
Your mission deserves a website that makes it easy to help.
Many small nonprofits work with a site built by a generous volunteer years ago, a donate button that leads somewhere unfamiliar and volunteer sign-ups spread across forms and inboxes. Meanwhile the executive director is often the comms person, event planner and bookkeeper too. We build nonprofits and charities, from a grassroots group just getting registered to an organization with decades of history, a clear site and a system that handles giving, volunteers and events, so your team gets hours back each week.
Common challenges
What slows down Nonprofits & Charities
Giving takes more clicks than it should
Three clicks, a page that looks nothing like yours, no monthly option. Supporters who were ready to give can lose momentum halfway through.
Volunteer scheduling by group email
Sign-up forms, a spreadsheet, group emails and last-minute texts when a Saturday shift runs short. It asks a lot of your volunteer coordinator.
Donors hear from you once a year
A receipt in February and a gala invite. Without an update about what their gift made possible, even loyal supporters can drift.
Event registration in many places
Ticketing on one platform, sponsorship forms in email, the guest list in a spreadsheet and the auction somewhere else.
Grant reporting from scratch
Each report can mean digging through emails and spreadsheets to count volunteer hours, participants and events.
The solution
The system we'd build for you
A site that tells your story
Mission, programs and impact explained clearly, with real photos and a path to give, volunteer or get help on every page.
Donation pages that work
One-time and monthly giving connected to the donation platform you use, with tribute gifts and campaign pages for specific appeals.
Volunteer sign-up and scheduling
Volunteers register once, pick shifts, and get automatic reminders. You see who's coming and track hours for reporting.
Event registration
Tickets, sponsorship tiers and registration in one place, with confirmation emails and a check-in list.
Donor follow-up sequences
Thank-you messages, impact updates and monthly donor check-ins, so givers know what their money did.
Newsletter sign-up with consent
Sign-up forms that record consent properly, connected to your email tool.
Simple reporting
Volunteer hours, event attendance and donor counts pulled together for grant reports and board meetings.
Recommended package
Business System
Nonprofits run donations, volunteers, events and newsletters, often with a small staff and a careful board. A Business System connects those pieces so the people you have can spend more time on the mission and less on data entry.
Popular add-ons for Nonprofits & Charities
Wherever you are
Just starting, growing or decades in.
Whether you haven't opened yet or you've been at it for decades, here's how we'd help at each stage.
Starting out
Just an idea, or brand new
Just incorporated, or working toward charitable status? A new organization gets much of what our Start Your Company launch offers: a name and logo if you need them, a web address, email and a simple site with ways to give and volunteer from the first event.
Growing
Busy and getting busier
When programs expand and volunteers number in the dozens, shift scheduling, donor follow-ups and hour tracking keep your small staff from stretching too thin.
Established
Years or decades in
If your organization has served the community for generations, we keep your donor relationships and existing platforms in place and modernize gently, with your board involved at each step.
An example
What it could look like in real life
An illustration of how it could work. The business and details are made up for the example.
Consider a food rescue charity in Regina with two staff and about a hundred volunteers. Shifts are filled through group emails, and monthly giving is barely set up. We build a site that explains the program in plain words and puts a monthly giving option front and centre. Volunteers sign up for pickup and sorting shifts themselves and get reminders the night before. Donors receive a short impact note each quarter. When grant season comes, volunteer hours are already counted.
Questions we get
FAQ
Can you issue tax receipts?
Official donation receipts are best issued by your donation platform or receipting software, which handles the CRA details. We connect it to your site so the process is smooth for donors.
We already collect gifts through a donation platform. Is that a problem?
Not at all. We can embed or link your existing donation forms and build the site and volunteer system around them. We can work alongside platforms like CanadaHelps or Zeffy.
Do you offer nonprofit pricing?
Ask us on the call. We're happy to talk about what fits your budget and your board.
Can volunteers log their own hours?
Yes. Volunteers can check in or log hours, and you get totals ready for grant applications and board reports.
