Our Approach
A powerful CRM that comes streamlined for small and mid-size nonprofits, with training and support so you can actually use it.
Technically, that means:
- Built on Salesforce - a web-based CRM with state-of-the-art power and security
- Licenses for 9 users (simultaneous use over the web)
- Mobile apps for iOS and Android let you use your database from anywhere you have a mobile connection, and even where you don't! Data can be stored on your device for later syncing with the database
- Handles donors, members, volunteers, pledges, recurring payments and events. Integrates with payment platforms and email services. Optional integration with QuickBooks
- Integrates with email marketing tools like Vertical Response and MailChimp
- 2 hours a month of technical support - plenty for most organizations
- Annual feature upgrades (automatic)
- Dashboards, automated reports, case tracking, etc.
Our Story
We created WaterGrass in 2007 for river and watershed organizations, because as trainers and consultants we couldn't find a reasonably priced database that made it easy enough for overworked staffers to do what their organizations needed - consistently tracking and cultivating members, donors and volunteers. Over the past 10 years we've streamlined and honed WaterGrass to serve these organizations - and many more.
