Reviews

Nonprofits who rely on it.

The lapsed donor report flagged 47 donors we hadn't noticed. We ran a simple re-engagement email and recovered $12,000 in the first month. The template paid for itself in about 90 minutes of work.

Our board used to ask us for reports we'd spend three days pulling together. Now I open the annual giving dashboard and it's already done. Board meetings are actually productive now.

FAQ

Common questions.

Can I import our existing donor list? +
Yes. The donor database is a standard Excel table. Copy and paste your existing data directly in, or import from a CSV. The formulas and alerts update automatically as you add rows.
How does the lapsed donor alert work? +
The workbook calculates days since each donor's last gift automatically using today's date. Donors who haven't given in 90, 180, or 365+ days are flagged with colour coding and appear on the dedicated Lapsed Donor Report tab sorted by gift size — so you can prioritise outreach to your highest-value lapsed donors first.
Does it work for churches as well as traditional nonprofits? +
Yes — it's used by both. The terminology is fully editable. "Donor" can become "Member" or "Congregant," "Campaign" can become "Pledge Drive" or "Building Fund." All labels are in unlocked cells.
Can I generate receipts or acknowledgement letters from this? +
The tracker includes an acknowledgement status column so you can track which gifts have been receipted. For generating letters themselves, it works well alongside a mail merge in Word. We're working on a dedicated donor acknowledgement letter generator as a companion template.
