Donors, volunteers and neighbours. One list.
Stop reconciling three spreadsheets. Gifts, drives and newsletters live on one person’s record.
Built for relationships, not pipelines.
Most CRMs exist to move deals to “closed”. Your work never closes: the same people, the same streets, year after year. That one difference shapes everything below.
A sales pipeline forgets a deal the day it closes. Your work compounds: this year’s event guest becomes next year’s monthly donor becomes the volunteer who runs the drive. pplCRM keeps that whole story on one record, for as long as the mission runs.
A supporter list is the most sensitive thing an organization owns. Yours is never sold, never shared and never mined, and it lives in Canada in a workspace no other organization touches. The exit is never locked either; export everything to plain CSV, on every plan.
On big email platforms your newsletter shares a sending reputation with thousands of strangers, including the spammers. Here you send from your own verified domain, so the reputation you build is yours alone. Warm-up limits and abuse guardrails keep spammers off the platform entirely.
Free to start. Yours to keep.
Sign up and land in a ready-made demo workspace: sample supporters and households, a live inbox and a donor ledger. No card.
Answer a supporter email, open a volunteer shift, send a test newsletter, record a gift. Nothing is locked, and nothing you break is real.
Bring your spreadsheet. Duplicates merge automatically and the sample data steps aside.
Know your neighbours.
Not “contacts”. Not “leads”. People, with households, histories, and the issues they’ve told you about.
One household can be two donors and a volunteer, and the system knows it.
Connect Gmail or Outlook and mail flows both ways. Every message gets an owner and a due date, so no supporter gets two replies, or none.
Write once, send to the 1,284 people it’s actually for. An AI deliverability check scores every send before it leaves, so spam-filter surprises get caught while they’re still fixable.
Publish shifts, let volunteers claim them, and see who actually showed. Hours roll up per person without a clipboard.
611 donors, every gift on its donor’s record and receipted by email as it arrives. Recurring gifts, pledges, year-end official donation receipts and running totals without a second spreadsheet.
Bring the whole messy spreadsheet; duplicates merge on the way in. If you ever leave, everything leaves with you: plain-CSV export, on every plan.
Your list isn’t a list. It’s a network.
One supporter is never just one person. Behind every name is a household, a street, a workplace and a circle of friends. pplCRM remembers how your people connect, so one good conversation can carry to the next three.
A family’s giving, volunteering and event history reads as one relationship, not four rows. Households and employers link records together, so you see who you already know.
The same supporter can be a donor, a volunteer and an event guest. One record holds all of it, so nobody gets three conflicting emails from three different lists.
Gifts, RSVPs and notes sit on the record where anyone on the team can read them, so the next request goes to the right person, for the right thing, at a respectful moment.
Turn a list into momentum.
Publish a signup or pledge page in minutes; every response becomes a person on your list. Then automations send the welcome, add the tag and open the task while you sleep.
Put an event online and open its shifts; volunteers claim them and land on the list already. No re-typing names off a signup sheet.
Share a donation page and gifts land straight on the donor’s record — every one receipted by email the moment it arrives, and summed at year end into official tax receipts where your regime allows them. No third spreadsheet to reconcile.
The spring appeal, the fall drive and next year’s gala all draw on the same supporter list — one record per person, never copies drifting apart in separate spreadsheets.
For the folks in the field.
Visit lists by neighbourhood, offline-first, one tap to log a conversation. Every visit syncs back live.
Every request becomes a stop on a route. Mark it delivered and roll on.
Hampers, leaflets and program notices become delivery outings with live progress for volunteer drivers.
Fair questions.
Yes. No card and no time limit. The free plan stays free forever: 1,000 email subscribers, unlimited contacts and households, and 2 staff seats.
A ready-made sample workspace — realistic people and households, donors and a live inbox — so you can try every feature without touching real data. Every new workspace gets one, matched to the kind of organization you sign up as.
Yes. CSV import takes minutes and duplicates merge automatically on the way in.
Always. People, notes and donations export to plain CSV whenever you want.
You do. We never sell, share or rent it, and delete means deleted. Each organization runs in its own isolated workspace.
In Canada, isolated from every other organization’s workspace.
You send from your own verified domain, so inbox providers judge you on your record, not a stranger’s. New Free-plan senders also warm up gradually under a daily cap, and unsubscribes are honored automatically.
Three plans: Free forever, Grassroots from $29/month and Movement from $55/month — or pay annually and get 2 months free. The price scales with your emailable subscribers, never your total contacts, so you can store your whole list for free and only pay for who you email.
Try everything before you trust us with a single name.
Your free workspace opens with sample supporters, households, volunteer shifts and a donor ledger already in it. Record a gift, send a test newsletter, break things. When it clicks, import your real list. No card, no time limit.
