Why OneDesk for nonprofits?

non profit software pricing

Transparent and affordable pricing

OneDesk offers affordable pricing. Additionally, to recognize the work you do, OneDesk is happy to provide a 30% discount to all nonprofit organizations. Simply contact us and we will apply the discount to your account. 

Multi-channel help desk for nonprofits

Take in requests from email, live chat, webforms, or integrated third party apps. Requests are transformed into tickets. Better than a shared inbox, you can easily assign someone to work on a ticket, monitor its status or progress at a glance, and filter or group tickets however you need.

Email integration and management

Capture emails directly into your OneDesk account. OneDesk will create a new ticket from the email, capture attachments, and create a new donor/client record if necessary. You can respond to clients directly in OneDesk. Responses go right to their inbox. You can even set up email templates to respond automatically based on the conditions you choose.

Automate your nonprofit organization's workflow

Streamline your workflow and cut down on repetitive procedures with our automation tools for nonprofits. Automations are versatile and configurable.

Automatically:

  • Send an email to update donors.

  • Send a manager a notification when a timesheet is logged.
  • And much more!

Collect the right information

Collect relevant and correct information with webforms. Webforms allow your clients or donors to submit items into your OneDesk account. They can submit new requests, questions, or work tasks. The benefit over email is that you can require fields to be completed. This feature ensures that when something is submitted, all the information is included.

Project management software for nonprofits

OneDesk’s project management software for nonprofits allows your organization to log work, plan projects, and collaborate. Learn more about some of the project and task management features available in OneDesk.

Assign and collaborate on tasks

Track volunteer and employee hours

For nonprofits, logging and reporting on hours is important, especially when it comes to volunteers. Track and manage hours for your volunteers or employees using timers and timesheets.  Timesheets can be billable or non-billable. They can also have approval statuses, and include notes or custom fields. Timesheet data is also easy to filter, group, export, or report on. 

Create and share a schedule

Plan your team or organization tasks on the OneDesk calendar. You can schedule tasks to-the-minute on the daily or weekly views. Or, schedule long-term with the monthly view. A shared calendar keeps everyone on-track of goals and creates transparency of work.
