How Nonprofit Manager saves your organization money
Running a nonprofit website usually means paying for a handful of separate tools. One keeps track of members, another takes donations, a third sends your newsletter, and then there are events, forms, and social sharing on top. Most of them bill you every year, and the price often goes up after the first. Nonprofit Manager does all of it in one place, so you can cancel those separate subscriptions and keep the money in your budget. Here is what it replaces, with real prices.
The free version replaces several paid tools
The free version handles memberships, donations, your newsletter, an events calendar, forms, and social sharing. Here is what those same jobs cost when you buy them one tool at a time.
| What you need | What you would pay for instead | Their price per year | Nonprofit Manager |
|---|---|---|---|
| Membership tracking | MemberPress | $399 | Free |
| Event calendar | The Events Calendar Pro | $199 | Free |
| Email newsletters | MailPoet | $120 and up | Free |
| Forms | Gravity Forms | $59 | Free |
| Social sharing | Novashare | $50 | Free |
| One-time donations | GiveWP or Charitable (free) | $0 | Free |
| Total | about $827 | $0 |
That is about $827 a year in separate tools, all handled by the free version. Here is the fair version of the story: a few of these have limited free options of their own, so you could piece some of it together for less. The catch is you would be signing up for five or six different tools, paying for the ones that matter most, and keeping all of them working. Membership tracking alone is something most groups pay hundreds a year for, and here it costs nothing.
- Membership tracking. Keep a list of your members, membership levels, and new signups. It is the same job MemberPress charges $399 a year for, except your members and your donors sit in one place instead of two separate tools that never talk to each other.
- Event calendar. Post your events in a calendar people can browse by month, week, or list. The events tool most sites use is free to start, but the paid upgrade you would pay $199 a year for is already included here.
- Newsletters. Write and send email updates to your supporters, and see who opened and clicked. There is no per-subscriber fee like MailPoet, which starts charging more as your list grows past a few hundred people.
- Forms and social sharing. Signup, donation, and contact forms with spam protection, plus buttons that share your posts and events to Facebook and X. No separate forms tool or social tool to pay for.
Pro adds the features that usually cost the most
Pro is where the savings really add up. Recurring donations and automatic emails are the features other companies charge the most for, usually as pricey extras on top of a plan you already bought. Pro includes them for one flat price.
| What you get | What you would pay for instead | Their price per year | Nonprofit Manager Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| Everything in the free version above | The six tools above | about $827 | Included |
| Recurring (monthly) donations | GiveWP Pro (bundles recurring) | $399 | Included |
| Automatic emails and donor tracking | FluentCRM | $129 | Included |
| Custom info fields, list imports, grouping | Built into other tools’ top plans | already counted | Included |
| Total it replaces | about $1,350 | $47 to $147 |
- Recurring donations. Let supporters give monthly or yearly instead of just once, with automatic retries if a card fails and an easy way for them to cancel. GiveWP now includes recurring donations only in its Pro plan, which runs $399 a year. It is built into Nonprofit Manager Pro.
- Automatic emails and grouping. Send welcome emails, donation receipts, and renewal reminders that go out on their own, and group your contacts so the right message reaches the right people. That is the kind of thing FluentCRM or Groundhogg charge $129 to $240 a year for, built right in next to your members and donors.
- Custom details and easy switching. Track the information your group actually cares about, bring your existing list over from Mailchimp, Constant Contact, or a spreadsheet, and share to more places like Reddit, Bluesky, Mastodon, Threads, and Nextdoor. Those are features other tools save for their most expensive plans.
The bottom line
Add it up. The free version does the work of about $825 a year in separate tools. Pro does the work of about $1,350 a year, and Pro itself costs $47 to $147 a year depending on how many websites you run. That is well over a thousand dollars a year staying in your program budget instead of going out to six different companies, and it is one tool to learn and keep running instead of six.
Prices are each company’s listed yearly price as of July 2026, using the renewal price where a tool discounts the first year, since that is what you actually pay over time. Several of these tools have limited free versions. Prices change often, so check each company’s website for the current number. This compares a typical small-nonprofit setup, not every possible combination.
