Nonprofits are no strangers to the phrase “do more with less.” Finance and development teams often find themselves working in silos, juggling disconnected systems, and struggling to reconcile critical data on donations, grants, and pledges. 

The result? Wasted time, heightened risk, and a missed opportunity to tell the full story of your impact.

Enter: Sage Intacct Fundraising powered by DonorPerfect. This powerful, cloud-based solution is purpose-built to bridge the gap between fundraising and finance giving nonprofit organizations a smarter, more connected way to manage donor data, improve transparency, and streamline reporting.

Why nonprofits need a better way

Disconnected systems don’t just slow things down, they create risk and limit impact. Common challenges we hear from nonprofit teams include:

  • Data silos between development and accounting
  • Manual processes that lead to errors and rework
  • Delayed insights that hinder timely decisions
  • Inefficient resource allocation and duplicated efforts
  • Audit findings for missing or improperly classified transactions
  • Risk of not adhering to donor wishes and requirements

In short, fragmented workflows create friction and in nonprofit finance, friction can be costly.

The power of a unified system

Sage Intacct Fundraising changes that equation. By integrating DonorPerfect directly with your accounting system, nonprofits gain:

  • Real-time, bidirectional data flow across departments
  • Streamlined communication between finance and fundraising
  • Improved reporting that aligns with dimensions in Sage Intacct
  • Stronger donor stewardship with timely, accurate updates
  • Time savings through automated journal entries and reconciliations
Dashboards in Sage Intacct Fundraising powered by DonorPerfect allow you to gain powerful insights by combining fundraising and financial metrics in one place.

And for teams juggling compliance requirements? The system ensures that pledges and grants are properly recorded, reducing audit risk and improving confidence across stakeholders.

“In my experience as both an auditor and Controller, the communication gap between finance and development has long been a weak point for nonprofits. Sage Intacct Fundraising closes that gap and in doing so, helps ensure proper accounting, audit readiness, and donor confidence.”
