For nonprofits & ministries
Start where it hurts most. Grow from there.
You are almost certainly doing more with less than anyone outside your organization understands. Rypple gives you the full operational toolkit at no cost, but you don't have to take all of it at once. Begin with the one thing you most need help with, and let the rest wait until you want it.
The part nobody budgets for
Software is rarely the first thing a nonprofit can afford, so the work ends up spread across whatever was free that year. The cost isn't the subscriptions. It's the hours spent moving the same information between them.
Before
Six tools, none talking
- Spreadsheet of volunteers
- Separate donor database
- Accounting in another app
- Email tool, paid monthly
- Meeting notes in a doc
- Plans nobody can find
After
One platform, one record
People
volunteers, donors, contacts in one record
Money
donations and books, reconciled
Work
plans, projects, meetings, follow-through
Story
campaigns and impact, from the same data
Which of these is your week?
Pick the sentence that sounds most like your organization right now. That's your starting point. Everything else can wait.
“We need more hands than we have.”
List what you actually need. A bookkeeper for six hours a month reads very differently from “volunteers wanted”. Then be findable by the skilled people and companies nearby.
- Volunteer matching
- Directory
- Contacts
“Nobody in our town knows we exist.”
Get set up on Google’s ad grant for nonprofits, then run the email, social and search campaigns from the same place your contacts already live.
- Campaigns
- Google Ad Grant
- Contacts
“Our finances are held together with tape.”
Connect QuickBooks instead of replacing it, track giving properly, and stop reconciling donations against the bank by hand.
- Books
- Donations
- QuickBooks
“We’re busy, but is it the right work?”
Work through a real strategic planning process: direction, goals, and the meetings that keep them moving, rather than another document nobody reopens.
- Plans
- Meetings
- Projects
“Something’s broken and nobody here is technical.”
Ask for help and get an actual answer. Support is part of the platform, not an upsell on a plan you don’t have.
- Assist
- Helpdesk
“Our team needs to grow into their roles.”
Leadership and practical training your staff and volunteers can work through, so onboarding isn’t one more thing you have to build yourself.
- Academy
You won't be doing it by yourself
A free platform that arrives as a login and a link to the docs is not much of a gift. The part we care most about is what happens after you sign up.
Someone to start with
You don't get a login and a link to the docs. We help you work out which one thing to tackle first, and get that working before anything else is switched on.
Guided, not just given
Strategic planning, volunteer recruitment, getting an ad grant approved: these are processes we can walk you through, not just modules we can enable.
Training that fits the job
Academy carries leadership and practical material for you, your staff and your volunteers, so growing people is part of the platform rather than another project.
Help when it breaks
Real support through Assist and Helpdesk. Not a chatbot, and not a tier you have to be paying for.
The toolkit, in full
Every one of these is included, and none of them is required. There is no tier that unlocks the rest, and no penalty for using two of the nine for a year.
Plans
Set the direction, break it into goals, and keep the team pointed the same way.
Meetings
Agendas, notes and decisions, with the actions tracked afterwards instead of forgotten.
Contacts
Volunteers, donors and partners on one record, not three spreadsheets.
Donations
Giving tracked properly, with receipts and donor history in one place.
Books
Financials that connect to QuickBooks, so you stop double-entering.
Campaigns
Email, social and ads that tell your story from the data you already have.
Projects
The work itself: who's doing what, and whether it landed.
Academy
Training for staff and volunteers, so onboarding isn't one more thing you build.
Pulse
The health of the organization at a glance, drawn from everything above.
And the people to run it with
This is the part other nonprofit software doesn't do. Rypple isn't only where your work lives. It's also where the volunteers, businesses and schools around you can find the work that fits them.
Post what you actually need
A bookkeeper for six hours a month reads very differently from "volunteers wanted". Say the real thing and the right person recognises themselves.
Be findable
Your public profile in the Rypple directory is how volunteers, businesses and schools in your area discover you.
Keep the relationship
Someone who serves once is already in Contacts. Their hours, their skills, and anything they give later all sit on the same record.
It costs you nothing to look
Create an account, bring in one part of your work, your volunteers or your next campaign, and see whether it earns the rest.
