How these tools work together
HubSpot CRM manages donor relationships, tracks giving history, and logs every touchpoint — free for nonprofits. Mailchimp handles donor newsletters, campaign updates, and fundraising appeals. Asana keeps your program team aligned on projects, events, and grant deliverables. Xero handles nonprofit accounting, grant reporting, and board-level financial statements. Together they give a two-person ops team the infrastructure that most organizations don't build until they're ten times bigger.
