The problem

Running a nonprofit is hard enough.

You have too much to do and too little time. Grants live in a spreadsheet, volunteers in your inbox, donor notes in someone’s head — and important things slip through the cracks. Ember brings it all into one calm place.

Sound familiar?

If any of these sound like your week, you’re in the right place.

Our grant deadlines live in a spreadsheet nobody remembers to check.
Volunteer sign-ups are scattered across my inbox and a few group texts.
I rebuild the same board report from scratch every quarter.

You’re not disorganized — your tools are. Ember puts it all in one place.

Who it's for

Made for the people doing the work.

You didn't start a nonprofit to wrestle with software. Ember is built for the doers — the directors, coordinators, and volunteers who keep the mission moving every day.

How it fits together

One place, from start to finish.

Every Ember tool is a step in the same journey — from the first idea all the way to learning what worked.

Spark

Do the work

Show your impact

Learn & grow

Everything in one place

Everything you need to do more good.

Seven simple tools, one login — grouped by what they help you do. Tap the ones you’d use today; it helps us build the right thing first.

The math

The tools you’d pay for elsewhere. Free here.

A small nonprofit can spend hundreds a month stitching together separate tools that don’t talk to each other. Ember does those same jobs in one place.

The usual stack
Donor CRM (from ~$79/mo)$79
Grant tracking (from ~$299/mo)$299
Board portal (from ~$30/mo)$30
Volunteer, project & reporting (more on top)+

to start — one login, everything connected. Paid tiers still cost a fraction of the stack.

Based on typical published rates for comparable tools (2026): donor CRM ~$79/mo, grant tracking ~$299/mo, board portal ~$30/mo, plus volunteer, project & reporting tools. Ember’s free plan is built for small orgs; you upgrade only as you grow.

Whatever your cause

Built for the work you do.

From food and housing to animals, kids, health, and the environment — Ember fits every kind of nonprofit.

Questions

Good questions, honest answers.

Is it really free?

Yes. Ember has a genuinely useful free plan — no credit card, no trial clock. You only pay later if your work grows and you want more.

When does it launch?

Early access is rolling out soon. Join the list and we will email you the moment your spot opens.

Do we have to be a 501(c)(3)?

No. Ember is for nonprofits and the people starting them — grassroots groups, all-volunteer teams, fiscally sponsored projects, and founders still getting set up. No paperwork or proof needed to start. If we ever add nonprofit-only pricing, we'll confirm status just for that — never to let you in.

Is our data safe?

Your data is encrypted, never sold, and always yours to export. We are built privacy-first, with your donors’ trust in mind.

What does early access commit us to?

Nothing. Try it, help shape it, and leave anytime. Founding members simply get in first.

Why we’re building this

A note from the Ember team.

Nonprofits do some of the hardest work there is, with the least — and then get handed software built for big companies, at prices that make no sense. We started Ember because the people changing their communities deserve tools that are simple, affordable, and actually built for how they work — not another expensive login. We’re building it in the open, with nonprofits shaping it as we go. If that’s you, come help us build it.
