Monthly supporters keep the work going, and hear how it is going.
Supporters gives you a public page with a free tier and monthly paid tiers. Supporters pay by card, into your own Stripe account.
Posts can go to everyone, or to paying supporters only, such as a learner's story. A poll lets supporters have a say.
People sign up for your programmes on a form.
Forms builds registration forms from starters such as Registration and Application. Questions can be text, choices, dates or phone numbers. Every response comes into one list.
A form can require a payment, such as a course fee. The amount is the same for every response.
Your events have their own pages, and people RSVP until the room is full.
Calendar holds your events. Each one can be private, open to anyone with its link, or on your public calendar.
RSVPs stop at the capacity you set. You see every response, and attendees choose whether their names are shown.
Your mailing list hears what the work achieved this month.
Newsletter keeps your mailing list, with double opt-in on its sign-up page. You write each issue, send yourself a test and schedule it.
With web copies on, each issue has its own page to share. You can bring an existing list, with a record of how people agreed to receive it.
Funders, partners and volunteers each have a record, with the next follow-up.
Contacts keeps each person and organization with their details and tags. A note records each conversation.
A follow-up is a To-do with a date, such as sending a funder their report. It shows on the contact and in your To-dos.
Each role, paid or volunteer, has its own page and application form.
Hiring publishes each role on your job board, with an application form of your own questions. Applicants move through stages you set.
Interviewers rate each applicant on a scorecard before they see each other's.
Six more areas cover the books, expenses, your website, a forum, documents and chat.
- Accounting
- Accounting keeps the books, with Supporters and Form payments posted automatically.
- Expenses
- Expenses pays back volunteers and staff, from a report an admin approves.
- Websites
- Websites builds your site, with links to your forms and supporters page.
- Message Boards
- Message Boards gives volunteers or members a board to talk on.
- Documents
- Documents holds grant applications and policies, with comments.
- Team chat
- Team chat keeps the staff and trustees in channels.
