Insights, tips, and stories about nonprofit fundraising, donor management, and making a greater impact.
Donors ask what their gift paid for. Boards ask what the gala really cost. Expenses in DonorLog sit next to the donations they came from, and now you can scan receipts and import your old spreadsheet.
Matching forty e-Transfers used to mean forty trips through the same form. Now you tick the ones you want, check the donors and campaigns, and DonorLog works through the list for you.
Local businesses sponsor your events and some supporters move south of the border. DonorLog now gives businesses a real business name and US donors a real US address.
Generating receipts is the easy part. It's the unmatched e-Transfers, missing addresses and misfiled donations that eat up January. This is the order we'd tackle them in, starting now.
Several sites shouldn't mean several DonorLog accounts. Branches let each location keep its own records, and its own e-Transfer inbox, while head office still sees everything.
For most Canadian charities we work with, Interac e-Transfer is how a big share of donations arrive. DonorLog reads the deposit emails, catches duplicates, suggests the donor and turns each transfer into a proper donation, ready for its tax receipt.
Most people running a charity don't have time to open a dashboard every day. So on the first of every month, DonorLog now tells you how last month went, and which pledges slipped through, without you having to go looking.
Most organizations don't start with DonorLog on day one. They show up with years of donations in spreadsheets, Square exports and old systems. Here's how we made importing that history, and fixing it afterwards, a lot less painful.
Great nonprofit leaders don't rely on assumptions—they rely on insights. DonorLog's Reports module helps administrators transform everyday fundraising data into informed decisions with customizable Top Donor exports, year-over-year campaign analysis, pledge pipeline tracking, expense reporting, and flexible CSV reports. Spend less time building spreadsheets and more time growing your organization's impact.
Managing tax receipts for your nonprofit just got easier. Batch Tasks in DonorLog allows nonprofit administrators to generate and send CRA-compliant tax receipts to hundreds of donors in one streamlined workflow — saving hours of manual work every tax season. Discover how DonorLog's Batch Tasks feature helps Canadian nonprofits process donor tax receipts faster, reduce errors, and focus more time on their mission.
Managing donations isn’t just about collecting funds — it’s about understanding the story behind the numbers. With DonorLog’s built-in AI Assistant, you can instantly search donations, pledges, campaigns, and donor data — just ask, and get answers in seconds.
As we wrap up this year, we’re proud of how much DonorLog has grown—both as a product and as a platform built specifically for nonprofits. This year was about listening closely to charities, reducing manual work, and building tools that actually make day-to-day operations easier.
Join hundreds of nonprofits using DonorLog to manage donors, automate receipts, and grow their impact.
