Between fundraising campaigns, donor stewardship, and compliance reporting, your team likely spends too much time in spreadsheets or chasing fragmented data. That’s where donation management software—sometimes called a nonprofit CRM—becomes essential.

For non-profits in Singapore, every dollar matters. Yet, a surprising number of organisations still manage donations using outdated systems—spreadsheets, manual receipts, and siloed donor databases. As donor expectations evolve and compliance standards tighten, these traditional methods are showing their cracks. It’s time to rethink donation management.
