workflows that were built for
data entry.

FOUNDER'S NOTE
The tool I wish I'd had
A fundraiser built this. Not a software company.
$20M+ raised for nonprofitsFor the whole development team
Sapling is built for the development directors, gift officers, and EDs who fundraise every day. We wanted a tool that actually fits the way nonprofits work.
“I saw the problem — small nonprofits lack effective tools for growth. They often get stuck in outdated systems built for “data entry” rather than “donor relationship growth.”
That’s why I created Sapling — a platform that simplifies fundraisers’ work and helps them raise more with less effort.”
Alexander Russo
Founder & CEO, The Sapling Group
