Relationships, not rows
Households, giving history, involvement, notes, and every touchpoint live on one donor record, so any teammate can pick up a relationship mid-conversation.
For development teams and the people who thank every donor
Every donor, gift, grant, and thank-you — connected.
Simply Foundations keeps donors, gifts, campaigns, grants, programs, volunteers, and events in one warm, trustworthy system — so relationships get the attention, not the reconciliation.

Why nonprofits choose Simply Foundations
Fundraising software that respects how small teams actually work.
Donor-only databases see half your organization; spreadsheets see none of it in time. Simply Foundations connects development and programs — the gift and the impact — so stewardship, reporting, and the annual appeal stop being archaeology.
Yes — even the gala seating chart, four revisions deep.
Gifts and campaigns, tracked to the dollar
Record one-time and recurring gifts, tie them to campaigns and funds, and send acknowledgments that go out on time, every time.
Grants and programs beside the fundraising
Track grants, program participation, and outcomes in the same system as the giving — because the impact story and the ask are the same story.
Volunteers who feel seen
Signups, shifts, hours, and interests stay on the volunteer’s record — and your best volunteers stop being invisible to your donor strategy.
Events from invitation to follow-up
Registrations, tables, tickets, and attendance run through public pages, and every attendee lands in the database ready for the thank-you.
Board-ready numbers without the scramble
Campaign progress, donor retention, and program reach come from live reports — so board night is a conversation, not a reconstruction.
Before and after
The Tuesday after the gala, without the FINAL-v7 spreadsheet.
Yes — even the gala seating chart, four revisions deep.
Before
- Gift list in one sheet
- Thank-you status in someone else’s inbox
- Board totals rebuilt by hand
After
- Gifts land as real records
- Acknowledgment status is visible
- Campaign totals are ready when the board asks
Pieces of the workflow
Small details, real screens.
This is cropped from the same Simply Foundations demo environment, so the visual proof stays legible without pretending to be customer data.
The gift row is the receipt trail
Amount, donor, date, and fund stay in one visible row instead of being reconstructed from exports.
The tech at work
The gift becomes the follow-up before anyone exports a file.
The sales proof is the chain reaction: a public action becomes a real record, the record carries the context, and the next staff action is already visible.
Public action
A supporter gives
Simply360 turns the public response into structured donor and gift data.
The public page and form live beside the database instead of feeding a disconnected spreadsheet.
System write
The gift row appears
The gift is written as a real record with the fields the team reports on later.
Amount, date, donor, and fund stay together from the first moment the team sees them.
Team action
Stewardship has a queue
Views and dashboards read from the live gift records, not a rebuilt export.
The same data can drive acknowledgments, campaign totals, and the board packet.
Follow-through
The next step is not memory work
Automations and task rules keep follow-up attached to the record.
The operating system can carry the thank-you and reporting work forward after the gift lands.
See it with real records
How it fits together
From first gift to lifelong supporter, one connected story.
A donation form becomes a donor record, a gift triggers the acknowledgment, involvement grows into volunteering and events, and every step is visible when it is time to write the impact report.
Form
Gift comes in
A public form or import creates the transaction record.
Record
Person stays connected
The donor, household, campaign, and fund remain linked.
Follow-up
Acknowledgment queue clears
Tasks and automations keep stewardship from becoming memory work.
Report
Board packet writes faster
Dashboards and reports read the same live data.
Website
Public pages stay current
Campaign pages and forms publish from the same system.
For development directors
Stewardship that runs even during event season.
Acknowledgments, pledge reminders, and lapsed-donor follow-up run on schedule, and the campaign dashboard tells you where attention matters this week.
See how it worksFor executive directors and boards
One honest picture of money and mission.
Giving, grants, programs, and volunteers in one system means the annual report, the board packet, and the grant application all start from the same truth.
See pricingWorks with any website
Your website, or ours — same system underneath.
Simply Foundations can host your public website, or embed into the site you already have. Donation forms, volunteer signups, event registration, and program pages are copy-and-paste embeds that write straight into your database.

Works even better together
Tools that work hand in hand with Simply Foundations.
Three companion tools from the Simply360 family can extend Simply Foundations: tags and scans in the physical world, live maps for spaces, and a standalone website builder for teams that want the site before the full system.
Put a donation tag on the gala table sign, a volunteer check-in tag at the program site, or a “learn about this program” card in the lobby — one tap opens the right form, and the gift or signup lands on the right supporter record.
Explore Simply Action Tags
Community rooms, program spaces, and event venues live on a floor plan: staff and partners see availability at a glance, and room requests flow through the same approval and scheduling workflows as everything else.
Explore Simply Spaces
Need the public site first? Simply Websites gives nonprofit teams the same Website Studio as a standalone builder: draft free, publish for $39/month, and connect Simply Foundations when the site needs live data.
