You’re Paying Too Much for Fundraising Tools You Don’t Use

Blog

The fundraising tech world is full of platforms promising “enterprise-grade solutions.” But here’s the thing: unless you have enterprise-sized resources, those tools can become more of a burden than a boost. Complex systems often demand time, staffing, and budgets that smaller nonprofits simply don’t have.

And guess what? Most small and mid-sized nonprofits don’t need all those bells and whistles to raise money effectively. What they do need is a platform that:

  • Launches fast
  • Keeps fees low
  • Saves time, not adds work
  • Makes giving easy for donors
  • Empowers donors to become part of the team
  • Grows with you (not past you)
Ask Yourself:

  • Are we paying for features we never use?
  • Are your donors being asked to tip a platform, which doesn't offset the cost for you?
  • Does it take more than one person to manage our platform?
  • Are our donors dropping off because the donation process is confusing or slow?
  • Are we locked into a system that charges extra for basic things like fundraising forms or numbers of donors?
  • Could we switch to something more nimble and still raise just as much—or more?

If you answered yes....

…it might be time to reevaluate.
