Sponsor A Purpose
What it is
Sponsor A Purpose is a web platform combining nonprofit CRM, donation processing, email, forms, reporting, grants, and volunteer management. Its CRM stores donor and contact records, giving history, notes, tags, segments, custom fields, tasks, automations, and reports. Donation forms support recurring gifts, custom fields, campaign messaging, hosted pages, and website embeds; checkout includes automated receipts without extra Sponsor A Purpose platform fees. Donor journeys can trigger sequences from giving, forms, email behavior, dates, or CRM data. Reporting provides live dashboards, fundraising and grant pipeline views, and emailed board reports. SAPu Grants offers opportunity matching, funder research, AI-assisted drafting, pipeline tracking, and deadlines. Volunteer tools cover shifts, background-check status, waivers, onboarding, and hours. The free plan includes unlimited contacts and users, donation processing, CRM records, and reporting. Optional tools start at $20/mo; Grants costs $179/mo. Email billing is separate and based on mailing contacts.
