Nonprofit suiteA nonprofit CRM that speaks fundraising and accounting.
Most nonprofit software makes you choose: a donor database that exports to the books once a month, or an accounting add-on that was never really a CRM. Tormano refuses the choice - donations, grants, volunteers, events, and receipts in one system, with QuickBooks kept in sync instead of reconciled at month end. Flat-rate pricing, unlimited users, so the whole organization works from the same record.
Real fundraising mechanics
One-time gifts, pledges with payment schedules, and recurring sustainers on Stripe with automatic dunning when a card fails. Donation forms with conditional fields embed anywhere; peer-to-peer campaign pages let supporters raise on your behalf; multi-fund and restriction tracking follows every dollar; and campaign attribution answers what actually raised the money.
Donors get a self-service portal - giving history, receipt downloads, recurring gift management - which quietly removes a whole category of "can you resend..." email. Online donations settle to your organization's own Stripe account via Stripe Connect. Your organization pays Stripe's standard processing rate (2.9% + 30¢ per card charge) plus Tormano's 2% platform fee — about 4.9% + 30¢ all-in — stated here because you should never discover a fee in a settlement report. Tormano giving forms carry no tip prompt and no suggested-tip default: the fee is paid by your organization, never asked of your donor. See the full fee breakdown.
Grants, from prospect to report
A grant pipeline with templates, checklists, deadline alerts, and draw-down tracking against QuickBooks - so program spend and grant balance never live in separate spreadsheets. On Professional, the AI Grant Writing Assistant drafts applications in five tones across nine sections, regenerates any section independently, and exports to PDF, HTML, Markdown, or text. It drafts from your organization's actual data; you edit, own, and submit.
Volunteers who stay organized
A native volunteer database tied to the same contact records as giving: skills, availability, background-check tracking, shift scheduling with self-service signup, hour logging with approval, and per-program notification routing so the right coordinator hears about the right signups.
The books stay true
This is the part most donor databases get wrong, and the reason Tormano exists. Completed donations post to QuickBooks as sales receipts; pledges can post as invoices with payments applied as draw-downs; funds map to QuickBooks classes so restriction reporting comes straight off the ledger; grant income books against the grantor's customer record. Your bookkeeper's corrections in QuickBooks flow back automatically - two directions, near real time - and Form 990 preparation data (functional expense allocation, program ratios, revenue classification) is computed from the same records development already keeps. QuickBooks Desktop shops connect through the Web Connector.
Events with registration tracking
Galas, fundraisers, and community events. Your team records each registration, seats are capped and overflow goes to a waitlist automatically, attendees are checked in at the door, and revenue lands on the donor record - plus an Eventbrite sync that turns external registrations into contacts automatically.
IRS/CRA tax receipts
Individual receipts and year-end statements with 501(c)(3) language and quid-pro-quo disclosures. Batch generate, email, void, reissue - numbered, with an audit trail. New to the rules? Read what the IRS requires.
Donor intelligence
Free public-filings research across FEC political-contribution records and ProPublica's IRS Form 990 database, with source links back to the original filing; predictive donor scoring on Professional; lapsing-donor alerts; sentiment analysis on inbound messages.
Households & relationships
Group contacts into households with combined giving, link people with 14 relationship types, and keep giving statements one click away.
Programs & outcomes
Program and project tracking with beneficiaries and outcome measurement - the impact story behind the giving story - plus memberships with tiers and renewals.
Communications
Email campaigns with merge fields, automated acknowledgments, and a workflow builder that sends the thank-you, books the receipt, and schedules the follow-up in one motion.
How organizations use it
The two-person development office
Replaces a donor spreadsheet, a form tool, and month-end re-typing into QuickBooks. Gifts land receipted, acknowledged, and on the ledger without anyone copying a number twice.
The volunteer-heavy program
Consolidates a standalone volunteer scheduler into the CRM: shifts, hours, and approvals live on the same records as giving, so a volunteer who becomes a donor is one story, not two databases.
The grant-funded organization
Runs the grant pipeline, drafts applications with AI assistance, tracks draw-downs against QuickBooks, and hands the auditor restriction reporting that ties to the ledger.
Switching is the easy part
Prebuilt import templates cover 21 platforms - Bloomerang, DonorPerfect, Little Green Light, Neon, and Salesforce NPSP among them - mapping constituents, gifts, and history straight from their CSV exports with automatic deduplication, so a typical migration is an afternoon, not a consulting engagement. Pricing stays flat as you grow: no per-record tiers that penalize keeping your history, and no per-seat charges that make you ration logins. Moving from QuickBooks Desktop too? The migration checklist walks the whole path.

Common questions
Are nonprofit plans really unlimited users?
Yes. Every nonprofit tier is flat-rate with unlimited users - development staff, volunteer coordinators, finance, and board members all work from the same system without per-seat charges.
What does it cost to accept online donations?
Online donations run through your organization's own Stripe account via Stripe Connect, which you connect once in settings. Your organization pays both fees: Stripe's standard processing rate (2.9% + 30¢ per successful card charge) and Tormano's 2% platform fee — about 4.9% + 30¢ all-in. On a $100 card donation that is roughly $5.20 in total fees, leaving about $94.80 in your account. ACH and international cards are priced differently by Stripe. Gifts you record manually carry no platform fee. Online giving stays off until Connect onboarding completes - the public form fails safely rather than collecting money into the wrong account.
Can we migrate from Bloomerang, DonorPerfect, or Little Green Light?
Yes. Prebuilt import templates cover 21 platforms including all three - constituents, gifts, and history map from their CSV exports with automatic deduplication, and most imports complete in under an hour.
Does the public-filings research cost extra?
No. It is built on free public data - FEC political-contribution records and ProPublica's IRS Form 990 database - so it carries no per-record vendor fee. Every result links straight back to the original public filing.
How deep is the QuickBooks integration for nonprofits?
Two-way and near real time: donations post as sales receipts, pledges can post as invoices with draw-downs, funds map to classes for restriction reporting, grant income books to the grantor record, and Form 990 preparation data is computed from the same records. QuickBooks Desktop connects via the Web Connector.
