Nonprofits — Automation for nonprofits
Small teams and volunteers spend their days on receipts, renewals, sign-up sheets and grant paperwork instead of the mission. Software can take over these parts, while staff and the board decide who to call, what to approve and how gifts are used. 43 automations fit, each with an example and workflow written for nonprofits.
