NonProfit+

NonProfit+ is a nonprofit business management and ERP system built on the Acumatica platform. It is best suited to nonprofits and related institutions that want accounting and grant management within a broader financial suite. Its modular design, hosting choice and unlimited users offer flexibility, but custom pricing makes budgeting harder before a sales conversation.

Overview

The product brings nonprofit accounting together with general financial management, from fund and grant accounting to payables, payroll and recurring revenue management. Organizations can adopt all, some or none of its modules, which suits teams that want to tailor the system to their needs rather than take every component. That flexibility also means prospective buyers should establish which modules their organization needs and what the resulting quote covers.

Key features

Nonprofit accounting and grants

Fund accounting, restricted-fund tracking, budgeting, financial reports and an audit trail address core nonprofit accounting needs. Grant management tracks budgets, expenses and reporting requirements, including grants that cross fiscal years. This makes the product relevant to organizations managing funds with distinct restrictions and obligations, not just general ledger activity.

Broader financial management

The wider suite includes general ledger, accounts receivable and payable, cash management, inter-company accounting, multiple currencies, time and expense, payroll and recurring revenue management. That breadth may let an organization handle more of its financial operations in one system. It is less compelling for a buyer seeking only a narrowly focused grant or accounting tool.

Controls, reporting and integration

Role-based restrictions can limit access to specific funds, cash accounts, programs, grants and reports. Predefined and custom reports, user-defined dashboards and drill-downs support analysis; optional Excel-based reporting connects to real-time system data. The maker describes the system as open to integrations, including POS, CRM and AMS systems for museums, a useful consideration for organizations with related systems to connect.

Hosting and access

Cloud or local hosting can be selected, with the option to switch later. A free mobile app is included and can be customized to an organization’s needs. Unlimited users without extra cost is a practical advantage for organizations that need to provide access across teams, though the overall price remains quote-based.

Pricing

NonProfit+: custom pricing by quote, with unlimited users. The plan includes the product’s nonprofit accounting and financial capabilities, while organizations can choose which modules and suites to implement. There are no lower-priced plans described to compare, so buyers should clarify the scope of their quote and selected modules. The maker offers a free product tour, which gives prospective buyers a way to assess fit before proceeding.

Platforms

NonProfit+ is available on Android, iOS and the web, with self-hosted deployment also supported. The choice between cloud and local hosting, and the ability to switch later, gives organizations latitude over deployment; mobile access is supported through the included app.

Who it's for

Nonprofits that need fund and grant accounting alongside broader financial management are the clearest fit. The maker also identifies colleges, universities, foundations, museums and food banks as relevant industries. Organizations that want a focused tool, or need a firm price before discussing requirements, may prefer to compare alternatives.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Fund accounting and grant tracking sit alongside a broad financial suite, which can suit organizations seeking one system for multiple finance needs.
• Pros: Modular implementation, cloud or local hosting, and the option to switch hosting later give organizations choices about scope and deployment.
• Pros: Unlimited users without extra cost avoids per-user charges as access needs grow.
• Cons: Custom pricing by quote makes it difficult to compare costs without contacting the maker.
• Cons: The breadth of the suite may be unnecessary for organizations that need only a specific grant-management or accounting function.
