When businesses are created, the founder hires the necessary people to help his company thrive. He hires an accountant, a marketing director, a salesperson, IT help, etc. Founders of nonprofit organizations, don't necessarily have the money to hire these professionals. Thus, they rely on volunteers who may not have the educational background or the experience to accomplish these tasks. That's where Aplos comes in.

There are numerous factors that go into starting a nonprofit organization. First it's the idea, then the plans on how to implement the idea, the money needed to start the foundation, and the donors who continuously breath life in the organization. Once a foundation has been established, the organizers must create a website, a community, a fundraising campaign, and figure out how to keep track of the donors that come in. Nationbuilder hopes to be all of this and more.

- Written by Danielle Loughnane
Donor retention is required to run a successful fundraising campaign. Not only will it raise more money for a charity or nonprofit in the long run, it takes a lot of the leg work out of the equation, freeing up more time and energy to focus on other aspects of the organization than just raising funds. Founded in 2012, Bloomerang understands this concept and built a product that focuses on amping up donor retention, engaging donors, and allowing the nonprofit to reach out to their backers.

Despite the ease of donating through a DAF, many companies and people instead chose to donate through check, cash, and credit cards.
