Giving Toolbox replaces the scattered tools your nonprofit runs on — expense apps, grant spreadsheets, ticketing platforms, auction software and donor lists — with one iPhone and iPad app built for 501(c)(3) organizations. Most nonprofit software assumes someone is sitting at a computer. The work happens at the check-in table, in the auction room, and in the car back from a site visit. This app was built for that, and it keeps working when the venue wifi does not. WORKS OFFLINE Your events, expenses, contacts, campaigns, auctions, raffles, donations, volunteer shifts, golf tournaments and sponsored funds are cached on your device. The app loads instantly and stays useful on site without reliable service, then syncs when you reconnect. EXPENSE CAPTURE & 990 COMPLIANCE Scan receipts with your camera. AI extracts the vendor, date and amount, then maps every dollar to the correct IRS Form 990 functional category. Staff submit from their phones; admins approve from theirs. Set annual budget targets per category and track actuals in real time. Generate IRS-compliant year-end giving statements for every donor in one tap. GRANT MANAGEMENT Track every grant from first contact to award — letter of intent, application, review stage. Once funded, track spending restrictions, reporting deadlines and period dates. The dashboard alerts you 30 days before a report is due. Tag any expense to a grant to see the remaining balance live. EVENTS & TICKETING Multiple ticket tiers, online and in-person sales, QR check-in, waitlists, sponsorships, playbill PDF and automated reminders. When several staff work the door, every device stays in sync within seconds. Sell program ad placements and review artwork from the Event HQ screen. SILENT AUCTION & PADDLE RAISE Build your catalog, open bidding waves, track live bids and process winner payments. Record paddle raise pledges as the auctioneer calls them, with a projector display mode for the room. CROWDFUNDING, PEER-TO-PEER & RAFFLE Thermometer campaigns with matching gifts, participant fundraising with a live leaderboard, and raffles with animated draws plus the compliance trail your state requires. VOLUNTEER MANAGEMENT Schedule shifts, track hours with QR check-in, export IRS-ready hour reports and generate certificates of service. DONOR CRM & MILEAGE Scan a business card at your gala and the contact exists before you leave the room. Start and stop GPS mileage tracking from the home screen, with the correct IRS rate applied by trip purpose. GOLF TOURNAMENTS TeeFast Golf is a separate add-on that works on either tier: registration, hole sponsors, day-of check-in, self-serve mulligan sales, contest tracking, player card emails and a full P&L. $99.99 per tournament or $149.99/year unlimited. PRICING Free forever: expense tracking, 100 AI receipt scans per month, one active grant, up to 50 contacts, mileage and grant report PDF. The Free tier is a single owner account. Premium, $34.99/month or $279.99/year: unlimited staff accounts with no per-seat fee, every fundraising module, unlimited grants, contacts and AI scans, AI marketing tools, and PDF and CSV exports. Payments run through your own Stripe account and deposit directly to you. A platform fee applies — 1.5% on Free, 0.5% on Premium — on top of Stripe's standard processing fee. Donors can choose to cover both at checkout. Requires iOS 17.6 or later. iPhone and iPad supported.
