CRM donor records

A single source of truth

Manage donors, volunteers, sponsors, board members, households, partners, and event attendees from one central CRM.

Reduced manual follow-up

Connect records to gifts, forms, notes, tasks, reports, and automations so important next steps do not depend on memory.

A CRM that grows with you

Start with unlimited contacts, reporting, and donor management — then expand only when needed.

Segments, reports & actions

Turn CRM data into the next right move

The CRM is not just a place to store contact data. It helps teams find the right group, understand what happened, and decide what to do next.

Segments

Build lists from giving history, lifecycle status, tags, location, form responses, recurring status, and custom fields.

Reports

Use prebuilt reports for common nonprofit questions, then save custom reports for your team's specific views.

Imports & cleanup

Start from spreadsheets, map fields, flag duplicates, and turn rows into real CRM records.

The CRM should help your team follow through

Different relationships need different next steps. SAPu can use contact type, gift history, form activity, and lifecycle status to prompt the right follow-up.

First-time donor follow-up

Create a thank-you task, start a stewardship path, and track second gift status.

Cost

Low cost but high manual work

Often free to start, but teams still compare what is included, what is connected, and what comes later.

Start for free with CRM, unlimited contacts, unlimited users, and reporting. Grow into connected tools as needed.

Data quality

Easy to duplicate, overwrite, or fragment across files

Some tools handle donations well, but the CRM, reports, forms, email, and tasks may not feel like one operating layer.

Contact, donation, form, segment, task, automation, activity, and report data work together.

Reports

Manual exports, formulas, tabs, and cleanup

Reporting depth varies by platform and may require workarounds for saved views.

Prebuilt reports and custom reports are part of the CRM experience for all plans.

Follow-up

Depends on staff memory and manual reminders

Follow-up may exist, but it often depends on how deeply the CRM, email, forms, and reports are connected.

Designed to connect CRM activity to forms, email, reports, tasks, and automations based on contact type.

Best fit

Very early teams with minimal donor activity

Teams that want a focused fundraising tool and are comfortable adding other systems around it.

Nonprofits that want to start free and grow into a connected CRM, donation, reporting, automation, and support system.
