My data is a complete mess. How can I possibly move it to a CRM without losing everything?

You’re not alone. Most nonprofits using spreadsheets describe their data as “messy.” You likely have duplicates, missing information, and transaction histories scattered across Excel, PayPal, and Stripe exports. The fear of losing that data—or making the mess worse—is what keeps many organizations trapped.

A good CRM partner doesn’t just sell you software; they manage this exact problem for you.

How a Good Partner Solves Your Data Mess

The migration process is the single most important step. It’s not your job to untangle that data; it’s ours.

1. We Handle the Migration (For Free): We handle the entire data migration at zero cost. Our team works with you to map, clean, and securely import your historical data. You don’t have to worry about losing years of donor history.

2. We Solve Nonprofit Duplicate Management: The new system will immediately flag potential duplicates (e.g., “Rob Smith” and “Robert Smith” at the same address) and give you a simple, one-click tool to merge them, combining their giving and engagement history into one unified record.

3. We End the Reconciliation Nightmare: The most powerful feature is PayPal Stripe integration for nonprofits. This direct connection will automate manual data entry nonprofit tasks for good. When a donation comes in, it automatically creates or updates the donor record, logs the gift, and updates their giving total. You will never have to manually reconcile PayPal nonprofit or reconcile Stripe nonprofit CSV files again.

Your “mess” is just a symptom of a broken system. Moving to a CRM is the cure.
