In fact, there is a wide range of free online resources available to nonprofits, providing a perfect opportunity for new and small nonprofits to get their feet off the ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As nonprofit organizations grow and expand their budgets, some keep using the free tools that they know and love, some supplement them with more robust solutions that save time for their staff, and some seek to automate every routine fundraising operation they can to remain laser-focused on their mission.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever your organization chooses, may you never lose sight of your creativity and never stop loving what you do. To help you determine the best fit for your nonprofit budget and the bandwidth of your fundraising staff, we\u2019ve listed five free online tools that are often celebrated within the nonprofit industry.<\/p>\n<section class=\"wp-block-group content-section is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<header data-toc-tag=\"1.

With thousands of free templates to choose from, you can create any professional, branded, on-theme material you need. For printed materials like postcards, tickets, event programs, and banners, Canva allows you to create and save your design for free, with optional printing and shipping available in a few clicks.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-more-than-just-a-tool-for-creating-one-time-graphics\">More than just a tool for creating one-time graphics<\/h3>\n<p>Design expert Abby Guido believes Canva can even help nonprofits develop their brand standards. For example, let\u2019s say your nonprofit is building a website homepage that incorporates photos taken on different devices by different people. You can use Canva to bring consistency to each image with colorization, like color overlays and black-and-white effects, she explains. Keeping every font, color palette, and image consistent across your marketing materials helps to establish familiarity and trust with your nonprofit brand.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center bg_gray is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p>There\u2019s no need to hire a designer to make your nonprofit branding stand out.

Once an organization is able to justify a software subscription to streamline its daily fundraising operations, free tools like Canva still remain useful, allowing staff to excel in specialized areas that are often outsourced.<\/p>\n<p>However, when implementing free tools to cut costs, it\u2019s worth considering how much your nonprofit will be spending in terms of your staff\u2019s time. Free fundraising tools can be a beacon of hope for growing nonprofits as they get comfortable with their budget, but they can become even more valuable when used in conjunction with time-saving solutions that do come with some expense.<\/p>\n<p>According to PayScale, the average hourly rate for the nonprofit industry is about $20 per hour. Daily operational tasks that are done manually \u2013 like updating constituent information and tracking communications with a free spreadsheet tool \u2013 could end up costing your organization hundreds of dollars in payroll per week. If a robust fundraising solution is able to shave off a substantial amount of employee hours per month by automating those functions, it can pay for itself while steadily increasing your revenue. For example, nonprofits typically raise 20% more revenue in their first year using DonorPerfect as their CRM.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day, only you and your team know which fundraising tools will work best with your annual budget and staff bandwidth. At DonorPerfect, we encourage nonprofits to lean into automated tools so they can spend more time exploring new techniques \u2013 like sharing videos on social media or getting creative in Canva \u2013 and have some actual fun while fundraising!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"wp-block-group content-section is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<header
