CRMs for Nonprofits
CRMs for nonprofits — donor lifecycle tracking, grant pipelines, and fundraising workflows, with the discounts and free tiers that matter for budget-constrained organizations.
Nonprofit CRMs are general CRMs with three extra requirements: donor lifecycle tracking (one-time → recurring → major gift), grant pipeline management (LOI → submitted → reporting), and pricing that respects the reality of nonprofit budgets. The vendors below either ship a real nonprofit program (donated seats, discounted Marketing Hubs, NPSP-style data models) or are flexible enough to model donor and grant pipelines with custom fields. For a ranked shortlist, see Best CRM for Nonprofits.
