Not-for-profits and charities
Software that gives your volunteers and staff time back
Not-for-profits do a lot with a little, and spreadsheets often carry more of the organisation than anyone intended. Volunteers, supporters, programs and funder reports all need tracking. We help you find the piece of software that frees the most time, and keep the running costs modest and predictable.
01
What gets in the way
Volunteer rosters by email chain
Coordinators fill shifts through group emails and texts, and last-minute gaps mean a round of phone calls.
Funder reports built by hand
Program numbers and outcomes are gathered from several spreadsheets each time a report is due.
Supporters who hear from you once a year
Donors and members get an annual appeal, with little sense of what their support made possible.
Program sign-ups on paper
Participants register on forms that someone types up, and attendance is hard to track.
A first version
What a first version usually includes
A typical starting point, not a fixed package. Your brief decides what goes in first and what can wait.
Volunteer self-rostering
Volunteers see open shifts, sign up, swap and get reminders, and coordinators see gaps early.
Program registration and attendance
Participants register online, and staff mark attendance in a few taps.
Reporting from the data you already collect
Program and volunteer figures roll up into the reports funders ask for, without rebuilding them each time.
A supporter portal
Supporters manage their details, see updates on programs and choose how they hear from you.
02
The systems you already use
For example, many organisations already use Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud, Raisely or Better Impact for supporters, fundraising and volunteers. We look at what you have and build only what is missing.
03
Services this draws on
- Web and SaaS
Custom web applications, customer portals and software-as-a-service products from a senior Melbourne team, built and hosted by one team.
- Hosting and care
Secure hosting, updates and support for your software after launch, from the same team that builds it, so there is one place to call.

Questions not-for-profits often ask
We have a small budget. Where should we start?
With the task that takes your team the most hours. We will help you pick one and keep the first version small.
Will the running costs stay manageable?
We plan hosting and running costs with you up front and design to keep them predictable.
Can volunteers use it without training?
That is the aim. Volunteers come and go, so the screens they use need to explain themselves.
How do we get a quote?
Tell us about your organisation in a brief. A person on our team reviews it and quotes each phase, usually the same business day.
