Best Fundraising Platform for Community Foundations
Compare fundraising platforms for community foundations managing multiple funds and campaigns.
Community foundations manage dozens or hundreds of funds, host giving days, and serve as the philanthropic hub for their region. Generic fundraising platforms lack the multi-fund architecture required.
What Community Foundations Need
- Multi-fund management — each fund with its own page, reporting, and contacts
- Giving day platform — host a regional giving day with leaderboards and matching
- Donor-advised fund integration — connect with DAF providers for grant recommendations
- Grantmaking tools — manage the distribution side alongside the fundraising side
Key Considerations
- Can the platform manage hundreds of individual funds with separate reporting?
- Does it support giving day features like leaderboards, prizes, and matching?
- How does it handle donor-advised fund contributions?
- Can individual fund holders access their own dashboards?
