Roost for Nonprofits: your whole development office in one place

Sponsors in one spreadsheet, donors in another, volunteers in a group text, the board packet in someone's inbox. Nonprofits run on heart and a patchwork of tools. Here is a Coop shaped for how you actually work.

I have built Coops for a running club, a band boosters program, and a few causes close to home. The pattern is always the same: the mission is clear, the people are devoted, and the operations live in a dozen disconnected places. The development director is holding it together with willpower and browser tabs.

A nonprofit Coop puts the whole thing in one calm place, shaped for the way nonprofits actually run.

Built for how you really operate

A donor tracker that remembers who gave, when, and how they like to be thanked. A sponsor pipeline you can move stage by stage. Volunteers in one roster instead of six threads. An events hub for the thing you are planning and the archive of what worked last year. Board packets that come together without the last-minute scramble. And the fundraising ladder, front and center, so everyone sees where you are and where you are headed.

the whole idea

Your development office should not live in twelve tabs and one person's memory. It should live in one warm place the whole team can see.

A rate that respects a nonprofit budget

Nonprofits get a special rate, because I know where every dollar goes and I would rather you spend it on the mission than on software. Tell me what you are working with and we will find a number that makes sense. The point is to save you money and hours, not add a burden.

Made to be shared, and passed on

Your Coop is built for your whole team, board members, staff, volunteers, no per-seat counting. And if it helps your org, it will help the one down the street. Nonprofit folks stick together. Pass it on.
