501(c)(3) organizations
Overhead is the number your board watches and the work nobody funds.
Small and mid-size charitable organizations, foundations, and their boards.
What actually happens
Program staff are doing bookkeeping at night. The 990 is a scramble. IT is whatever was bought three grant cycles ago. Every dollar spent on administration is a dollar the board asks about, so administration is underfunded until it breaks.
What we do about it
- CRM, invoicing, payments, and communications in one system, replacing three subscriptions and a spreadsheet
- Bookkeeping, month-end close, AP/AR, and 990 preparation support done by people who do it daily
- Managed IT sized for an organization with 8 to 80 staff and no CIO
- Dedicated teammates for administrative roles, so program staff can run programs
- AI enablement your overhead ratio could never justify buying outright — and the data to defend that ratio to the board
The outcome
Lower administrative cost with better administrative quality — and the data to show the board both.
Who you are probably using today
Organizations like yours typically run some combination of Blackbaud, Bloomerang, DonorPerfect, Little Green Light, a fractional bookkeeper and no one. We are not asking you to leave the software. We administer what you own and do the work inside it — the comparison page sets out where each kind of vendor is genuinely stronger.
