Description

Nonprofit Manager is the free, all-in-one WordPress plugin for small nonprofits, clubs, and community groups. It brings membership management, online donations, email newsletters, and an event calendar together in one place, so you don’t have to bolt four separate plugins together to run your organization.

Most tools do one job. Donation plugins only take donations. Membership plugins only track members. Nonprofit Manager keeps your members and donors in one system, right next to the newsletters you send them and the events you invite them to. You spend less time wrangling software and more time on your mission. Learn more at nonprofitmanager.app.

External Services

Nonprofit Manager talks to outside services only where a feature needs it. Nothing below runs unless you turn that feature on or enter your own credentials.

Product update emails (optional, off by default)

If you tick the product update box in the setup wizard, your email address and display name are sent once to our newsletter system at listmonk.ericrosenberg.com to start a double opt-in signup. You then get one confirmation email, and nothing else is sent unless you click it. Leave the box unticked and no request is made. Data sent: your email address and display name, at that one moment. Service: Listmonk, self-hosted by Rosenberg Digital LLC. Privacy policy: https://nonprofitmanager.app/privacy-policy/

Nonprofit Manager Pro licensing (only with Pro installed)

The free plugin on its own does not contact our servers. If you also install Nonprofit Manager Pro, Pro checks your license and looks for updates at nonprofitmanager.app, sending your license key, your site URL, and the installed version. Terms: https://nonprofitmanager.app/terms-of-service/ Privacy policy: https://nonprofitmanager.app/privacy-policy/

Payment processors (only when you enable one)

Donations are sent to the processor you configure with your own account credentials. Stripe (api.stripe.com), PayPal (paypal.com), and Venmo (venmo.com) receive donation amounts and the donor details you collect. Stripe: https://stripe.com/legal and https://stripe.com/privacy PayPal and Venmo: https://www.paypal.com/legalhub/useragreement-full and https://www.paypal.com/privacy

Spam protection (only when you enable one)

If you turn on a captcha, form submissions are verified with Cloudflare Turnstile (challenges.cloudflare.com) or Google reCAPTCHA (google.com/recaptcha), using your own site keys. Cloudflare: https://www.cloudflare.com/website-terms/ and https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/ Google: https://policies.google.com/terms and https://policies.google.com/privacy

List imports (only when you run one)

Importing from Mailchimp or Constant Contact reads your list using the API key you supply. Mailchimp: https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/ and https://www.intuit.com/privacy/statement/ Constant Contact: https://www.constantcontact.com/legal/terms-of-service and https://www.constantcontact.com/legal/privacy-statement

Social sharing (only when you connect an account)

Auto-sharing posts sends the title, link, and excerpt you configure to the networks you connect, using your own account credentials.

FAQ

Is Nonprofit Manager free?: Yes. Membership management, donations, newsletters, and events are all included in the free plugin, with no trial period or locked screens. Nonprofit Manager Pro adds features like recurring donations, email automation, and unlimited imports when you need them.
What payment gateways are supported?: PayPal, Venmo, and Stripe for one-time donations, all in the free plugin. Recurring donations and membership dues auto-billing come with Nonprofit Manager Pro.
Can I send email newsletters?: Yes. You write newsletters in the Gutenberg editor, reuse templates, headers, and footers, and see who opened and clicked. One-click unsubscribe and a CAN-SPAM footer are built in.
Does it work with my theme?: Yes. Nonprofit Manager works with any properly coded WordPress theme, and its forms and shortcodes pick up your theme’s styling automatically.
Can I convert existing posts into events?: Yes. Use the “Convert to Event” action on any post or page. It carries your content over and lets you set the date, time, and location.
How do I import my existing email list?: Go to Membership > Import and choose CSV, XLSX, Google Sheets, Mailchimp, or Constant Contact. The importer detects your columns for you. The free plugin imports up to 50 supporters per job, and Pro removes the cap.
Where can I get support?: Ask in the WordPress.org support forums and we’ll help. Pro includes email support at support@nonprofitmanager.app, with priority replies on the Multi-Site and Developer plans.
