With fundraising tools, nonprofits can easily process donations and build dynamic fundraising campaigns that engage your donors and encourage them to give to your organization.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key fundraising tools&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of fundraising tools available to nonprofits, but there are a few key tools that can help make your fundraising efforts more fruitful for your organization.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/donation-forms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Online donation forms<\/strong><\/a>. Looking to give your donors an option for an easier and more convenient way to give? Try creating online donation forms. Gone are the days of sending cash or a check through the mail or needing to show up in person to make a gift to the causes your donors support. Now, all your supporters need is access to the internet and a credit card and they can donate to your organization anytime, anywhere, all from your website.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/events\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Event registration software<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong> Planning a fundraising event can be stressful, but with event registration software, you can keep track of who\u2019s planning to attend your fundraiser and prepare accordingly. When you\u2019re ready to start collecting registrations, direct your supporters to your online registration form where they can fill out all the necessary information for your event and find all the information they need about your fundraiser.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/peer-to-peer-fundraising\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Peer-to-peer platforms<\/strong><\/a><strong>. <\/strong>With peer-to-peer fundraising, nonprofits can harness the power of their donors\u2019 networks, empowering them to raise money on their behalf. However, before you can start <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/peer-to-peer-fundraising\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hosting your first peer-to-peer fundraiser<\/a>, it\u2019s important to find the right peer-to-peer software.

Bonus features like team fundraising pages, milestone badges, fundraising thermometers, and leaderboards can make your fundraiser more engaging and exciting for all of your peer-to-peer participants.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/auctions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Auction platforms<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong> Planning a silent auction is stressful enough, but when the big night comes, keeping track of bid sheets and getting guests from check in to checkout only adds to the stress. If you invest in the right auction software, running a silent auction becomes a breeze. With an auction platform, you can run an in-person, virtual, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/hybrid-auctions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hybrid auction<\/a> easily, and all your guests can bid on the items they want from their smartphones, laptops, and tablets from anywhere in the world.

In the modern age, mobile phones are most people\u2019s constant companions. With text fundraising, you can communicate with your donors quickly, no matter where they are and what they\u2019re doing. Send personalized outbound messaging and empower your donors to give or make pledges, all from their smartphones. Then, with automatic text reminders, you can ensure that your donors remember to fulfill their pledges without needing to manually track their donation progress.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p><!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><span class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\" id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-4ca9edb8-2322-4769-a81b-90855eb4cb76\"><span class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-4ca9edb8-2322-4769-a81b-90855eb4cb76\" id=\"hs-cta-4ca9edb8-2322-4769-a81b-90855eb4cb76\"><!--[if lte IE 8]>\n\n<div id=\"hs-cta-ie-element\"><\/div>\n\n<![endif]--><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/8356283\/4ca9edb8-2322-4769-a81b-90855eb4cb76\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"hs-cta-img\" id=\"hs-cta-img-4ca9edb8-2322-4769-a81b-90855eb4cb76\" style=\"border-width:0px;\" height=\"225\" width=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/8356283\/4ca9edb8-2322-4769-a81b-90855eb4cb76.png\" alt=\"Get the Nonprofit Software Pitch Deck!

When your donors make a gift to your organization, they provide you with plenty of information you need to keep track of\u2013names, email addresses, phone numbers, billing information, communication preferences, demographic information, and so much more. You can also log donor interactions, keeping track of when a donor makes a gift, volunteers their time, or attends an event.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does a CRM help nonprofits?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Collecting and organizing all of your donor information in a CRM platform makes your donor retention efforts far easier. Data like demographic information, giving histories, wealth indicators, and more can help you connect with your donors on a more personal level. Nonprofits can segment their donors with that data to send more targeted email communications. Your supporters are more likely to engage with your organization if they\u2019re being contacted regularly and receiving information that\u2019s relevant to them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are popular nonprofit CRMs?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bloomerang.co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Bloomerang.<\/strong><\/a> An industry-leading donor management platform, Bloomerang can help you stay connected to your supporters and retain more donors.

Nonprofits face additional difficulties for accounting when you have to ensure that you\u2019re meeting the strict standards of the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Organizing bank statements, ensuring that your staff gets paid, processing donations properly, and so much more can be difficult when you\u2019re constantly having to sift through paperwork and keep track of files. With accounting software like QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, and NetSuite, you can keep track of all of your financials without having to worry about anything slipping through the cracks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Grant management&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Grants are a great funding source for many nonprofits.

When these tedious tasks are taken care of automatically, your board members can focus on strategy and stay engaged.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Volunteer management&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wondering how you can keep track of your many passionate volunteers?

Segment your volunteers to cater to their interests, schedule shifts for fundraising events, track volunteer performance, and stay connected with all of your volunteers even after the last chair has been stacked and everyone\u2019s headed home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Membership management&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating a membership program is a great way to retain donors and give them an extra reason to be excited about supporting your mission.

For example, a point solution will provide one service like auction software or peer-to-peer fundraising but not both. &nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>All-in-one solutions<\/strong> have multiple functionalities wrapped into one platform so your organization can manage all your activities in one place. For example, Qgiv is an all-in-one fundraising platform with online donation forms, event registration forms, reporting tools, text fundraising, peer-to-peer fundraising, and auction events. Your organization will only need to log into Qgiv to manage your fundraising efforts.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re deciding between several solutions, look at the system you currently have in place and identify where you need help. Based on your organization\u2019s needs, you can determine whether you need a more comprehensive tool to fill in the gaps or if you\u2019re just lacking in one specific area that could use support.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Free tools vs. paid solutions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While searching for nonprofit tools for your organization, you\u2019ll find that there are many options&nbsp;available including free and paid solutions. Free solutions do not have recurring monthly fees or a platform processing fee (although online solutions will always have a credit card processing fee). These are useful if you have a tight budget and don\u2019t need to customize your tools. Free solutions will be limited in overall functionality compared to paid solutions or have extra features hidden behind a paywall. Paid solutions have&nbsp;far more comprehensive features available to your organization and customization options.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For many nonprofits, it\u2019s wise to take advantage of free tools or free trials first before deciding if a software solution is worth paying for. By going through a trial period, you might find that all of the basic features available to you on a free level are just what your organization needs. However, if you feel like you\u2019re missing out or need your software to go a little further for your organization\u2019s needs, it\u2019s worth looking into whether it\u2019s worth it to pay for the full platform.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p><!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><span class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\" id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-cbf20fc9-4224-4047-9bda-4c8cd7a3d6d4\"><span class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-cbf20fc9-4224-4047-9bda-4c8cd7a3d6d4\" id=\"hs-cta-cbf20fc9-4224-4047-9bda-4c8cd7a3d6d4\"><!--[if lte IE 8]>\n\n<div id=\"hs-cta-ie-element\"><\/div>\n\n<![endif]--><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/8356283\/cbf20fc9-4224-4047-9bda-4c8cd7a3d6d4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"hs-cta-img\" id=\"hs-cta-img-cbf20fc9-4224-4047-9bda-4c8cd7a3d6d4\" style=\"border-width:0px;\" height=\"225\" width=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/8356283\/cbf20fc9-4224-4047-9bda-4c8cd7a3d6d4.png\" alt=\"Get the Ultimate Fundraising Software Checklist!

While integrations aren\u2019t a necessary feature, if they\u2019re available to you or are presented as an option, it\u2019s best for your organization to take advantage of them. With the seamless transfer of data between your various tools, you can save time on manually transferring data between platforms and consolidating all of your information to produce helpful reports. If you\u2019ve already invested in specific platforms and are considering adding more tools to your toolbox, it\u2019s worth prioritizing researching the platforms that already have integrations with your existing software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Building a comprehensive toolbox of fundraising solutions is essential for nonprofits of every size to take their fundraising efforts to the next level. Streamlining processes and automating data collection and organization means you can spend less time dealing with admin tasks and organizing paperwork and more time focusing on your mission and connecting with your donors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Navigating the world of nonprofit tools can be tough.
