Most organizations look past NonProfitEasy because reporting is hard to learn, pricing is quote-only by module, and Fundly crowdfunding closed in 2025. Stay if donor, pledge and grant tracking with QuickBooks is the whole job.
NonProfitEasy is the same product as Fundly CRM. Fundly's crowdfunding campaigns closed in December 2025 and moved to SignUpGenius Donations; the NonProfitEasy database is still sold.
Ordered by how well each one fits the organizations that usually outgrow NonProfitEasy.
Memberships, programs, volunteers and donations on one record
Membership types with automated renewals, family memberships, wallet cards and a member portal come as standard, beside donation forms with automatic tax receipts and volunteer shifts. Programs, events and facility booking are add-on modules with published prices.
Check first: No pledge or grant tracking and no QuickBooks sync (CSV and XLSX exports with GL codes instead).

NonProfitEasy and Fundly are one company. Fundly stopped new campaigns on July 1, 2025, closed existing campaigns on December 1, 2025, and moved fundraising to SignUpGenius Donations. Teams that used both are already moving one half of their stack and are checking the other.
Reviewers say custom reporting has a lot of options but is hard to use, and that the system is overwhelming at first. When the board wants a number, someone ends up exporting to a spreadsheet.
Pricing is by quote, modules are bought separately, and the terms move you to a higher plan automatically when you pass a contact or volunteer limit. Subscriptions auto-renew, cancellation has to be emailed ahead of renewal, and there are no refunds.
NonProfitEasy connects to other tools through Zapier and named integrations, with no published public API. There are no Apple or Google Wallet membership cards and no room or facility booking, so organizations that rent space run a second tool.
Communal sends automated renewal reminders before and after expiry, lets members turn on auto-renew, supports fixed-date or anniversary renewal and family memberships, and issues Apple and Google Wallet cards that update when a membership renews or lapses.
Communal publishes its prices by member band and includes unlimited admin accounts with scoped roles. There are no contracts, billing is prorated, and you can cancel any module at any time. You can start with a free trial and no credit card.
Programs and events have sessions, capacity, waitlists, member and public pricing and attendance sheets. Facility booking has approvals, invoices and rental agreements. Volunteer opportunities, recurring shifts and clock in and out hour tracking are in the base plan.
Donation forms, campaign pages with goals, recurring giving, donor-covers-fees, automatic numbered tax receipts with CRA and US templates and Double the Donation matching gifts are in the base plan. A versioned REST API, Zapier webhooks and a remote MCP server come with every plan.
Stay on NonProfitEasy if you are a fundraising-led nonprofit whose work is donors, pledges and grants, your team has learned the reports, and QuickBooks matters to your finance process. The gaps above only bite if memberships, programs, volunteers or rentals are a large part of what you run.
Communal, where membership types, automated renewals, family memberships, wallet cards and a member portal are the center of the product. Neon CRM on its Impact tier if you want memberships inside a fuller donor CRM.
Neon CRM or DonorPerfect if you want a full donor database with memberships and events attached, and Bloomerang if donor retention analytics are the priority. Little Green Light if you want simple donor tracking month to month.
Zeffy for free donation forms and peer-to-peer campaigns in the US and Canada, or SignUpGenius Donations if you already use SignUpGenius. Communal campaign pages with goals and recurring giving if you also want donors on the same record as members and volunteers.
Communal, where resident vs non-resident pricing, facility booking with approvals and invoices, program registration and volunteer shifts sit beside donations on one record.
NonProfitEasy exports contacts, memberships, donations and custom fields through its reports; most moves to Communal finish in two to three weeks and the scoped migration is free.
Export contacts, households, membership levels with renewal dates, donation history and custom fields from NonProfitEasy; we map contacts to Communal members, households to family groups, membership levels to membership types and gifts to donation records, then run a dry-run import with validation.
Set up membership types, donation forms, programs or events and volunteer opportunities in Communal, import members with their existing renewal dates and load historical memberships and donations so giving history is intact.
Replace donate and join links on your website with the Communal portal, connect your Stripe account, send members their wallet cards, and give written notice to NonProfitEasy ahead of your renewal date.
The Big Apple Knitters Guild moved 400 members off PayPal and spreadsheets and cut 14 to 18 volunteer hours a month of reconciliation. Read the case study.
How the hall gets booked, how program pricing works, how you chase renewals. No canned tour. We walk Communal through your real process so you can see the fit before you decide.
We have found no announcement that the NonProfitEasy database is closing; it is still sold through Contact Sales. What did close is Fundly crowdfunding, the same company's fundraising product: new campaigns stopped on July 1, 2025, campaigns closed on December 1, 2025, and fundraising moved to SignUpGenius Donations. Check your renewal date and contract terms before deciding.
For organizations that sell memberships, run programs or events, rent space or schedule volunteers, Communal covers all of that with donations on one record. Neon CRM is the closest all-in-one nonprofit CRM. Zeffy is the free option for donation forms, ticketing and basic memberships in the US and Canada.
Yes. NonProfitEasy acquired Fundly in 2015 and the database has been sold under both names since. The vendor on the NonProfitEasy terms is Fundly LLC, part of Lumaverse Technologies, the group that includes SignUpGenius.
The NonProfitEasy terms say subscriptions auto-renew at current prices, cancellation must be sent by email at least 48 business hours before renewal, and prepaid fees are not refunded. Export your data and send notice before your renewal date, then run both systems briefly while members renew on the new one.
Yes, and the scoped migration is free. Export contacts, membership levels, renewal dates, donations and custom fields from NonProfitEasy; we map them to Communal members, family groups, membership types and donation records, run a dry-run import with validation, and go live with giving history intact.
