Solutions by business

The back office a small nonprofit cannot afford to hire.

Every hour on admin is an hour off the mission. Sanaf thanks every donor the day they give, keeps the grant calendar and drafts the reports, schedules and reminds the volunteers, and puts the board pack together from the numbers. It asks before anything goes out under the organisation’s name.

At work

An illustration of how the conversation reads, not a transcript from a client account.

For a nonprofit, Sanaf takes donor acknowledgements and follow-up, grant deadline tracking and report drafting, volunteer scheduling and reminders, the newsletter, and the monthly board pack. It works in the donor database and the tools you already have, and anything about a major gift or a public statement waits for a person.

Sound familiar?

The work that is still there, and what changes

Donors get thanked a month later, or not at all.

With Sanaf: It sends the acknowledgement the day the gift lands, in your voice, and logs it against the donor record.

Grant deadlines and reports live in someone’s head.

With Sanaf: It keeps the calendar, reminds the right person ahead of time, and drafts the report from what you have already written.

Volunteer scheduling is a spreadsheet and a lot of texting.

With Sanaf: It fills the shifts, sends the reminders, and finds cover when someone drops out.

What it takes over

The routine, end to end.

  • Donor thank-yous and receipts, the day the gift lands
  • Grant deadlines tracked, with report drafts from your past material
  • Volunteer shifts, reminders and cover
  • The newsletter and the social posts, drafted for approval
  • The monthly board pack from the numbers
What waits for a person

Always, unless you say otherwise.

  • A major gift, a bequest, or a donor who wants a conversation
  • Anything published under the organisation’s name, until you promote it
  • Submitting a grant application or a report to a funder

Every rule is per kind of action, and it starts stricter than you will keep it. It drafts before it sends until you promote it. How it works.

Questions

Before you hand it this job

We have no budget for software. Is this realistic?
You start free with $120 of credit and no card, and after that you pay for the work it does rather than a seat per person. A small organisation with one busy job for it can get by on the $20 pack, and there is no contract.
Can it talk to donors?
For acknowledgements and routine follow-up, yes, in your voice and with your approval until you relax it. A major donor, a bequest or anyone who wants a conversation gets a person.
What happens before it sends anything?
It watches and drafts first. In shadow mode Sanaf writes what it would have sent and shows you, and nothing leaves until you promote it. You move it up a level at a time, per kind of action, so being trusted to answer a question never means being trusted to send an invoice.
What does this cost?
You start free with $120 of credit and no card. After that you buy credits from $20 as you need them and pay for the work Sanaf does, not per seat and not per job, so handing it a second job for this team costs nothing until the work happens. The credit never expires.
