Nonprofit tools that catch the mistakes before your board does
Excel, Google Sheets, PDF and Canva tools for grants, donors, bookkeeping, governance and impact reporting.
Grant Tools & Templates
Grant trackers, budgets, proposal scoring and funder research tools, plus guides to Google, Microsoft, Canva and Azure nonprofit programs.
Grant Opportunity Tracker
Excel + Google SheetsBoards often hear the total of every grant in the pipeline, which is the one figure a grants manager knows won't arrive.
Canva Pro for Nonprofits
PDF guideCommunications leads at registered charities often treat a rejected Canva for Nonprofits application as a final no.
Google Ad Grants Guide
PDF guideApproval for Google Ad Grants often goes quiet afterwards: the account runs, spends little of the monthly credit, and nobody looks.
Grant Proposal Scoring Matrix
Excel + Google SheetsMany grant teams read a strong internal review score as permission to submit, even when one mandatory item is still missing.
Fundraising & Donor Tools
Campaign planners, donor CRM and retention trackers, GivingTuesday and year-end planners built in Excel and Google Sheets.
Giving Tuesday Planner
Excel + Google SheetsGivingTuesday falls on December 1, seven weeks from today, and teams that start writing in the final week spend the day catching up.
Fundraising Idea Finder
Excel + Google SheetsSmall teams often copy a fundraiser that worked for a bigger charity, then find out halfway through that nobody has time to run it.
Christmas Fundraising Planner
Excel + Google SheetsChristmas Day is nine and a half weeks from today, and appeals planned after Thanksgiving tend to launch late and close in a rush.
Holiday Fundraising Bundle
Excel + Google SheetsNovember is when a development team's single fundraising spreadsheet starts doing six jobs at once, and the jobs start blocking each other.
Treasurer & Finance Spreadsheets
Treasurer spreadsheets for nonprofits, churches, PTAs and booster clubs, with bank reconciliation, restricted funds and a Statement of Activities.
Church Treasurer Spreadsheet
Excel + Google SheetsWhen the finance committee asks whether the Building Fund money is still there, a church treasurer needs more than a running total.
Nonprofit Treasurer Spreadsheet
Excel + Google SheetsTreasurers who keep grant money in one general balance often can't say how much of a restricted grant is left until the report is due.
PTA / PTO Treasurer
Excel + Google SheetsAfter every fun run or book fair, a PTO board wants one number from the treasurer: what the event actually made.
Booster Club Treasurer
Excel + Google SheetsBooster presidents ask the same thing at every monthly meeting: does the bank statement match the balance the treasurer is reporting?
Operations, Board & M&E Systems
Program management, monitoring and evaluation, board governance, risk, procurement, inventory and asset systems for small nonprofits and NGOs.
Nonprofit Operations OS Bundle
Excel + Google SheetsExecutive directors who inherit six spreadsheets from six people often can't answer a board question without phoning someone first.

Volunteer Management System
Excel + Google SheetsVolunteer coordinators who count every accepted applicant as available learn on the day of the shift who never finished training.
Board Governance System
