Sound familiar?
Your donor CRM, event tool, and email list don't talk to each other
You use Bloomerang for donors, Eventbrite for events, Mailchimp for the newsletter, and QuickBooks for accounting. A donor who attended your gala last week isn't in the email segment for this week's appeal. Everything needs manual syncing.
Grant reporting is a manual project every quarter
A funder asks how their grant was spent. You spend two days pulling records from QuickBooks, matching to program outcomes in a Google Sheet, and building the report from scratch — every quarter, for every funder.
Board meetings and minutes live in email threads
Meeting agendas arrive as attachments. Minutes get drafted after, circulated by email, approved the following month. Action items disappear between meetings. When the board chair changes, the history is scattered across six inboxes.
How TidyHQ fixes it.
Donor records and tax-deductible receipts built in
Every donor has a record with lifetime giving history, contact details, and automatic tax-deductible receipts that match your 501(c)(3) status. Segment donors for targeted appeals. Track grants alongside individual donations in one place.
990 and 990-EZ ready categorization
Every income source and expense category maps to IRS Form 990 reporting lines. Your treasurer or CPA runs the year-end report in minutes instead of days. Program service revenue, contributions, unrelated business income — all tracked correctly.
Events, email, and dues on the same platform as donors
A donor who registers for an event is automatically tagged. Your next email appeal segments by who attended, who donated, and who lapsed. No manual syncing between five tools.
Board governance tools included
Meeting agendas, minutes with action items, votes on record, and 25 GB document storage. Board members each have their own login; the full governance history persists across board transitions.
Questions people ask.
Is TidyHQ a good fit for a small 501(c)(3) nonprofit?+
Yes. TidyHQ is built for small 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4), and 501(c)(7) organizations — typically under $500k in revenue, with volunteer or small-staff teams. Donor records, categorized income tracking, events, and board governance all in one platform. Under 20 contacts runs free.
Does TidyHQ generate tax-deductible donation receipts?+
Yes. Every donation to a 501(c)(3) organization automatically generates a tax-deductible receipt with your EIN, donation amount, date, and the "no goods or services were provided" language the IRS requires. Donors receive the receipt via email and can re-download it from their member portal.
How does TidyHQ help with IRS Form 990 or 990-EZ filings?+
Income sources (contributions, grants, program revenue, membership dues) and expense categories map to Form 990 reporting lines. At year-end you export a report that your treasurer or CPA uses to complete 990, 990-EZ, or 990-N filings — no manual reconstruction.
Can TidyHQ replace Bloomerang, Eventbrite, Mailchimp, and QuickBooks?+
For many small nonprofits, yes. TidyHQ consolidates donor CRM, events, email, and basic accounting into one platform. Organizations with deep fundraising operations or complex accounting may keep a dedicated accounting system (QuickBooks) and use TidyHQ for CRM, events, memberships, and dues — with CSV exports for reconciliation.
Does TidyHQ handle grant tracking and funder reporting?+
Yes. Grants are tracked as income with category tags, expected vs received amounts, and linked to program expenses. You can generate funder-specific reports showing how a specific grant was spent. This replaces the quarterly spreadsheet rebuild that most small nonprofits do manually.
How much does TidyHQ cost for a small nonprofit?+
Free for nonprofits under 20 contacts, including full features. Pro is $49/month for larger nonprofits, with a 1% + $0.20 USD service fee on transactions plus Stripe processing fees. Registered 501(c)(3) organizations can ask about additional nonprofit pricing.
