Nonprofits: what to automate

You run development, programs, and operations out of the same inbox, often before your first cup of coffee cools. Donor thank-yous slip when you're deep in a program day, grant deadlines hide in old emails, and volunteer sign-ups pile up faster than you can enter them. By the time you sit down to prep the board packet, half your week is already gone to data entry you never meant to do yourself.

Every item below opens a plain-English page: the problem it solves, how it works, and what you need to run it.
