We know that donations and revenues are essential to any non-profit. This is why we've built out an extraordinary Fundraising Tool, with lots of added features to be utilized by your organization. 

Here, we'll summarize each tab that is found within our Fundraising Tool. For a more in-depth walk through, check-out our Training Video: How to Navigate the Fundraising section of Keela.

Summary Tab

This is the best place to learn about your organization's donations and revenues at a glance.
