Grant Tracking and Volunteer Tools Nonprofits Can Build Today

  • Donor Management Software Without the New Platform — Turn a donor spreadsheet into real donor management software with giving history, contact info, and follow-up status in one place.

  • Volunteer Tracking That Doesn't Live in Someone's Inbox — Turn a sign-up sheet into real volunteer tracking with shift history and hours logged, so tracking volunteer hours doesn't mean chasing down a spreadsheet at year-end.

  • Grant & Program Tracking — Keep grant deadlines, program milestones, and reporting requirements in one shared view your whole team can check.

  • Event & Campaign Coordination — Track fundraising events and campaigns, from planning to follow-up, in a shared view instead of a scattered set of individual spreadsheets.

How to Build Donor Management Software From Your Spreadsheet

  1. Connect Your Sheet — Securely select the donor, volunteer, or program spreadsheet your team already uses. GoodTaco reads the columns and structure automatically.

  2. Describe What You Need — For example: "Build donor management software from my donor spreadsheet. Add giving history and follow-up reminders."

  3. Share With Your Team — Publish the app and control who can view or edit records. Your data stays in Sheets, and your team updates it directly.

Why Small Nonprofits Skip the Donor Software Contract

  • Skip the Donor Software Contract — No new system to license, train staff and volunteers on, and roll out org-wide. GoodTaco builds real donor management software on top of the spreadsheet your team already updates.

  • Your Spreadsheet Stays the Source of Truth — No migrating donor or program data into a new database before your team trusts it. GoodTaco reads from and writes back to the sheet you're already keeping current.

  • Share Safely — Built-in authentication and role-based access mean you control who can view donor records versus who can only log volunteer hours.

  • Scales From One Program to a Full Organization — Whether you're tracking one program or organization-wide donor and volunteer data, the same app keeps working without a rebuild. Explore more on theFeatures page.

Nonprofit Management Software Built on the Spreadsheet You Already Use

Donor Management Software FAQs

What is donor management software?

Donor management software keeps donor contact info, giving history, and follow-up status in one place, so your team can see a donor's full relationship with your organization instead of piecing it together from separate records.

Do I need a developer to build this?

Since GoodTaco is designed specifically for non-technical nonprofit teams, no developer is required. You can simply describe what you want in everyday language, and the platform will construct your app directly from your current spreadsheet.

What happens to our donor or volunteer spreadsheet?

It stays exactly where it is. GoodTaco reads from and writes back to it, so your spreadsheet remains the source of truth your team already trusts.

Can volunteers log their own hours, or is this staff-only?

Both. Role-based access lets you control who can log volunteer hours directly versus who manages donor records and reporting.

How is this different from just sharing the donor spreadsheet?

A shared spreadsheet breaks down fast once more than one person is updating donor records, rows get overwritten, and there's no way to control who sees sensitive giving history. GoodTaco gives you a real app on top of that same sheet: permissioned access, structured follow-up, and shared volunteer tracking, without the spreadsheet chaos.

We looked at donor management software before and it was priced for a much bigger organization. Is this different?

Most nonprofit donor management software is priced and built for large organizations with dedicated development staff. GoodTaco builds a lighter version directly from the spreadsheet you already run, no annual contract, no lengthy onboarding.

Is this secure enough for donor data?

Every app ships with built-in authentication and role-based access, and SOC 2 compliance is currently in progress.

Can this scale as our organization grows?

Yes. The same app handles a single program or organization-wide donor and volunteer tracking without needing to be rebuilt.
