Run a Nonprofit Without Per-Donor Software Tax.

Nonprofits stitch Salesforce NPSP + Classy + Bonterra + GiveLively + DonorPerfect + Mailchimp + custom volunteer tools — paying per-record + per-transaction fees that eat into mission spend. Aeion's nonprofit stack — CRM + Commerce + Forms + Marketing + ESG + Governance + Giftcards — unifies donor management, fundraising, peer-to-peer campaigns, recurring donations, volunteer coordination, grant tracking, and 990 prep on one tenant database. Reclaim 8-15% of fundraising revenue back to mission.

What Aeion Ships for Nonprofits

Donor CRM

Every donor's full lifetime giving history lives in one record — soft credits, matching gifts, tribute and memorial gifts, communication preferences, all of it — so a major-gift officer walks into a cultivation call already knowing the relationship instead of piecing it together from three systems. LTV scoring surfaces who to prioritize before they ask. Read CRM →

Recurring + One-Time Donations

Donors give however they want — Stripe, PayPal, ACH, or crypto — through Aeion Commerce, and Aeion takes 0% of it (Stripe's 2.2% nonprofit processing rate still applies, same as anywhere else). That replaces Classy's 4-7% platform fee outright, so a dollar donated stays a dollar closer to mission. Read Commerce →

Peer-to-Peer Fundraising

Every volunteer gets their own branded fundraiser page, teams compete on real-time leaderboards, and event campaigns — walks, runs, galas — run natively instead of through a separate Classy P2P or Bonterra subscription.

Volunteer Coordination

Volunteers get scheduled by skill profile and availability per event, hours bank automatically with leaderboards to keep engagement up, and background checks run inline — so coordination stops living in a spreadsheet a specialty tool never quite replaced.

Grant Management

Every grant moves through one tracked lifecycle — prospect, application, award, reporting, renewal — with restricted funds tracked per grant and reporting deadlines flagged before they sneak up on the development team.

Donation Receipts + Tax Forms

Tax-deductible receipts and year-end giving statements generate themselves, gift type gets categorized automatically (cash, securities, in-kind), and 990 schedules prep from the same data — so tax season stops being a special project.

Fundraising AI

The `aeion-crm-advisor` and `aeion-marketing` skills surface major-donor opportunities before a human would spot them, predict donor LTV, draft personalized appeals, tune email cadence, and flag lapsed donors for re-engagement — so development staff spends time on relationships, not prospect research.

Impact + ESG Reporting

Per-program impact and theory-of-change documentation build up as the work happens, so outcomes reporting for foundation funders and corporate partners — including SASB nonprofit standards — is an export, not an annual scramble to reconstruct a year of program data.

Anti-Money-Laundering (large gifts):

Not built today — Aeion doesn't provide donor KYC, OFAC/sanctions-list screening, or suspicious-gift-pattern detection. For large gifts where AML due diligence is required, run that check through your bank/gift-processor or a dedicated KYC/AML vendor before or alongside recording the gift in Aeion.
