Donor and Beneficiary Data-management (including M&E)
Donor and programme data-management is not a “nice to have”. It is essential for your nonprofit’s sustainability and continued impact.
We are a preferred Salesforce implementation partner for nonprofits, and our certified staff provide Salesforce customisations to meet every nonprofit’s needs, from small to large.
We assist with customising NPSP (for donor management), PMM (for programme management and M&E dashboards) and more.
We recommend nonprofits get started with building a legacy of data, and then refine it over time.
Nonprofit Website Design and Development
A nonprofit website that is compelling, Search Engine Responsive, mobile responsive and fast enables your stories of transformation to shine so that people take action.
You can choose to integrate your website with tools like Mailchimp, Salesforce, and payment gateways like PayFast. These integrations form part of communication system that saves your staff time and increases your capacity.
