Denali Fund

What Denali Fund is

Denali Fund is fund accounting software for nonprofits that manage federal and private grants and corporate sponsorships. It tracks funds continuously and supports restricted-fund tracking, budgeting, grant tracking, and financial reporting. Teams can create custom reports to examine their data, and the product records encumbrances so nonprofit funds can be accounted for. The maker says Denali Fund supports GAAP and FASB compliance and includes an audit trail, which it describes as unbreakable.

Organizations can add or remove modules as their needs change. Payroll, General Ledger, Bank Reconciliation, Accounts Receivable, and Accounts Payable can each run independently. The product is available for Windows and self-hosted use, with an API for third-party applications to access Denali data and functions through desktop applications or web services. Listed add-ons and integrations include Avalara Avatax, Aatrix Tax Service, Expensify, NeonCRM, donor management, and eCommerce connections.
