Free Non-Profit Knowledge Management Software

When you’re running a non-profit organization, there is a lot more you have to bear in mind compared to for profits. However, Bitrix24 can help you run your charity at a professional standard without breaking the bank. You can have unlimited users for free and take control of your projects, donors, volunteers, and all your internal processes all in one place.

Turnkey solutions — no IT admins needed

The beauty of Bitrix24 is that anybody can use it even if you have no coding skills. The out-of-the-box software is easy to use and customizable to your own requirements so you can get started right away. All of your data is securely stored on the cloud so everybody has access from wherever they are working.

However, if you have the resources, you can upgrade by purchasing the open source version of Bitrix24 that allows you to fully customize your non profit management software from your own servers. With a one-time payment, you can set up your own integrations and scale up your system whenever you need to.

Keep donors happy through your non profit CRM

Take care of all your donors through Bitrix24’s donor management software for non profits. Create a contact list with customizable online forms that will automatically populate your database. Then you can keep detailed records of all their activity and communicate with them via emails and instant messaging.

Where Bitrix24’s donor management tools really shine is through our workflows and automations. By connecting automatic actions from first contact to retention, you can keep all your donors engaged in an organized, efficient system. For example, set up a series of reminders about events, and automate a thank you email to be sent later.

Manage volunteers in your internal database

Now you’ve got all your donors taken care of, you can keep records of all your volunteers with Bitrix24’s organization management tools. With a vast range of functions, you can onboard new volunteers, before adding them to the searchable organizational chart where everybody can find each other.

Separate your volunteers into workgroups based on project or location for more focused communication. Here you can upload files, plan events on your team calendar, and maintain records of your group’s activity. To keep your teams motivated, you can also set up workgroups for social discussion and events, similar to a social media platform.

Clear, transparent HR management

Bitrix24 comes with a full suite of HR management tools to keep your internal processes running smoothly. Use time management features to track how long tasks take or to keep accurate records of how many hours your freelancers and providers have worked. As a manager, you can download reports on each team member’s efficiency and make changes where necessary.

An absence calendar lets your entire team see who is off, why, and when they’ll be back, and all of this information can be accessed through the organizational chart. To cut out small administrative tasks, your HR management tools can automate repetitive tasks such as holiday requests and document approval.

Track projects visually

With Bitrix24’s project management tools, you can keep track of your tasks, deadlines, and reports without breaking the bank. You have a diverse range of tools and views, such as task management, Kanban boards, Gantt charts, and much more for a service you’d expect from top-dollar project management tools.

A simple, clear display of your projects is an essential part of non profit management software. Not only can you use it to assign tasks and manage your projects, but you can share your progress with stakeholders for full transparency. Internally, it is a great way of keeping everybody’s eyes on the prize and their motivation high.

Powerful communications tools for every situation

A key part of running a non profit is smooth-flowing, easy internal communication. Bitrix24 gives you all the tools you’ll need for any situation.

For announcements and company-wide updates, send out an email to your whole team and pin the same information to your company intranet. To communicate on collaborative projects, instant messenger is probably the best bet, and you can even launch video calls and share your screen. Bitrix24’s event management software for non profits lets you plan your events from the initial logistics to communication. You can also use video conferencing tools for slick, seamless online events.

All-in-one organization software on all devices

A lot of charities rely on people being on the move, so having non profit software programs that you can work with on the go is essential. You can use Bitrix24 on Android or iOS, so whether it is task assignment, instant messaging, or reminders on your calendar, you can rest assured you’ll always be connected.

Bitrix24 is also available for both Windows and Mac operating systems, so you don’t have to invest in new IT equipment to accommodate your new tools. With this flexibility, any non profit can seamlessly make the switch to Bitrix24 and get started without any major changes or software to install.
