Stylised illustration: heart, charts and document layers suggesting donor reporting and charity operations

Donor data, receipts and reporting in one place—not five portals and a spreadsheet.

Charities and nonprofits juggle donor CRMs, Stripe or payment portals, receipting, compliance reporting and volunteer ops—often with pledges, transactions and campaigns living in different systems. I build owned donor infrastructure and dashboards (Firebase, Stripe, Retool, automation), plus fixed-price rescues when a payment or sync path breaks.

Phased dashboard builds after discovery · Ongoing support from around $700/month available

  • Melbourne-based · AEST-friendly
  • Reply within one business day
  • Fixed-price options where scope allows
  • You own the data, code and systems

COMMON PAIN POINTS

  • Pledges vs payments do not reconcile

    Donations land in Stripe or a portal while pledges and campaigns live elsewhere—finance spends hours matching before month-end.

  • Receipting and donor records drift

    Receipts, refunds and updates do not reliably flow back to the CRM your team actually uses.

  • Board and grant reporting is painful

    Leadership needs one view of campaigns, revenue and ops—but exports from multiple tools get assembled by hand.

  • Compliance and access are stressful

    Sensitive donor data spread across SaaS logins without clear ownership or audit-friendly workflows.

TOOLS YOU PROBABLY USE

  • Stripe
  • Firebase
  • Retool
  • Donor CRMs
  • Typeform
  • Mailchimp
  • Xero
  • Cloud Functions

WHAT IMPROVES

  • Single operational view for donors, finance and campaigns
  • Reliable Stripe and portal sync into an owned system of record
  • Less spreadsheet reconciliation before board packs
  • Fixed-price rescue when something breaks before a bigger build

RELEVANT WORK

Single operational view for donors & finance

Centralised Firebase and Stripe CRM so pledges, transactions and receipting live in one system of record—replacing spreadsheet reconciliations across portals.

Executive & ops dashboards

Internal dashboards for donor analytics, campaign performance and ops metrics—one login instead of five SaaS exports per week.

Aggregated workflows & integrations

Automation across payments, PDFs, donor matching and third-party syncs—data lands in your owned store and surfaces reliably in the dashboard.

SELECTED BUILDS

HOW WE START

  1. Email what hurts, which tools you use, and what “done” looks like.
  2. Short call or async alignment—I confirm fit and rescue vs build.
  3. Written next step: fixed-price rescue, phased dashboard, site, or retainer.

FAQ

Have you worked with Australian charities before?
Yes—including donor CRM, call-centre tools and internal dashboards for TLC for Kids (Firebase, Stripe, automation). I can walk through relevant patterns on a call without sharing confidential data.
Can you do fixed-price rescue work for nonprofits?
Often. Broken payment flows, webhooks or donor sync issues are common fixed-price rescues from around A$699 once scope and access are agreed. Larger CRM and dashboard builds are phased with written discovery.
Do you help with ongoing admin after a build?
Yes—monthly retainers from around $700/month for forms, CRM hygiene, automations and reports, so your team is not left maintaining glue code alone.
