Choosing a CRM when your budget is nearly nothing
A plain comparison of the free and discounted tiers charities can actually get, and the questions to ask before you migrate anything into one.
DemandCo for Good gives registered charities and social care organisations the same CRM, automation and supporter growth work we do for commercial clients — at no cost. Same team, same systems, no invoice.
Two organisations supported each quarter
Applications for the next intake close at the end of the month.
Small teams carry the heaviest admin load. That is usually where we can help most.
Manual data entry, duplicated spreadsheets and chasing renewals by hand cost small teams days every month. Automating that work returns those hours to frontline services rather than to a system.
Most organisations we meet cannot say which appeal brought in which donor. Once the data is joined up, you can report properly to trustees and funders — and make the case for the next grant with evidence behind it.
We build inside tools you own and can afford after we leave, then hand over documentation and train your staff on it. Nothing here depends on us staying involved.
Four areas of work, delivered on their own or as one connected system.
One clean record for every supporter, volunteer and service user. We set up the database, migrate what you already hold, and get consent and Gift Aid tracking right from the start.
Automated welcome, thank-you and re-engagement sequences so no first-time donor is left without a reply and no lapsed supporter is quietly forgotten.
Identifying the trusts, corporate partners and local businesses whose giving criteria genuinely match your work, so applications go where they have a realistic chance.
Recruitment, onboarding and rota communication handled through the same system, so volunteer coordination stops living in one person's inbox.
We keep this deliberately simple. If you meet these, send us an application.
Practical writing for small teams, free to use whether or not you apply.
A plain comparison of the free and discounted tiers charities can actually get, and the questions to ask before you migrate anything into one.
Retention beats acquisition for almost every small charity. What to send in the first week after a first donation, and what to leave out.
Four numbers worth tracking from the start, and how to pull them out of your system each quarter without a week of manual work.
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
