Frequently asked questions

Isn't NPSP free? How can Tormano compete with free?

NPSP the package is free, and the first 10 Salesforce licenses are free for eligible nonprofits — that is a real and generous program. The costs arrive as the team grows past 10 seats, and in the administration: most NPSP orgs need a trained admin or consultant to configure and maintain it. Tormano's case is total cost and time: flat-rate with unlimited users, running the day you sign up.

Which handles QuickBooks better?

Tormano, natively: two-way real-time sync across 65+ modules, donations as sales receipts, pledges as invoices, funds mapped to classes, and Form 990 preparation data. Salesforce relies on third-party connectors with their own subscriptions.

Can I migrate from NPSP to Tormano?

Yes. Contacts, donations, recurring gifts, and campaign history export via Salesforce reports to CSV and map through Tormano's import wizard with deduplication. Most self-serve migrations complete within a few weeks.

When is NPSP or Nonprofit Cloud the better choice?

When you have in-house Salesforce expertise, need deep custom objects and workflows beyond a donor CRM, or plan to build on the platform long-term. The ecosystem is unmatched — it simply is not turnkey.

Does Tormano match NPSP's fundraising model?

The core concepts map directly: households, recurring donations, pledges with schedules, campaigns, and soft-credit-style attribution, plus tax receipts, a donor portal, wealth screening, and AI grant writing on Professional.
