Forms & other operations
monday.com
monday.com is a work-management platform that many nonprofits run alongside their fundraising stack: program tracking, grant deliverables, event run-of-show, volunteer coordination. There’s a free two-seat plan, paid plans start at $9 per seat per month billed annually, and monday.com operates a nonprofit program with discounted plans.
Who it fits
Teams whose operational work has outgrown shared spreadsheets. A development calendar, a program dashboard the ED actually reads, and a grant-deliverables board with owners and due dates are the standard first builds. Grassroots shops often adopt it before they adopt a CRM, because operations chaos usually arrives before donor-data chaos.
Pricing
| Plan | Per seat / month (annual) |
|---|---|
| Free | $0 (2 seats) |
| Basic | ~$9 |
| Standard | ~$12 |
Apply to the nonprofit program before paying list price; discounted plans are available for eligible organizations.
How it compares
Airtable is the database-shaped alternative: better for structured lists, lighter on project workflow. Jotform handles the intake forms that feed either one. None of these replaces a donor CRM; anything you learn about a donor still belongs in the database of record.
Bottom line
Start on the free plan with one board: your grant deadlines, with owners and next actions. If the team actually lives in it after a month, the nonprofit pricing makes the upgrade easy. Try monday.com free.
