NetSuite ERP for Nonprofits features

NetSuite ERP for Nonprofits replaces fragmented tools with a single system that connects the people, processes, and resources behind every initiative. Visibility and automation fuel faster decisions, more efficient resource use, and greater transparency.

Accounting software

Record donations, grants, and program spending in a secure system. GAAP- and FASB-compliant fund accounting capabilities make it simple to report on donor and grant restrictions and maintain precise ledgers using customizable segmentation.

Financial management

Consolidate budgets, forecasts, and cash flow details from every department and location for a full view of financial performance. Automate processes, including report generation, and manage diverse revenue streams with precision.

Global business management

Oversee multicurrency donations, international grants, and compliance rules for programs that cross borders. Run multiple locations and field offices from the cloud for 24/7 coverage.

Inventory management

Monitor an array of supplies, merchandise, and donated goods from receipt to distribution with automated tracking. Link inventory to specific programs to optimize purchasing, minimize storage costs, and increase donor trust.

Order management

Handle merchandise sales, fundraising registrations, and ticketing in one place. Automated confirmations and acknowledgments instill donor confidence and promote lasting loyalty.

Procurement

Improve relationships with suppliers and contributors by automating POs to align with program needs, budget limits, and grant guidelines. Consolidated purchasing saves time and boosts spending power.

Warehouse management

Keep tabs on donated goods, relief supplies, and program materials across multiple storage locations. Automated alerts flag shortages or risks early, minimizing loss and unnecessary replacement costs.

Supply chain management

From disaster relief kits and textbooks to medical supplies and canned food, coordinate the flow of goods from suppliers so they reach the right places at the right times.

Constituent relationship management (CRM)

Maintain a complete record of interactions with donors, volunteers, and partners. Automate stewardship workflows—like personalized welcome messages and reminders—while segmenting contacts and tracking data throughout the donor lifecycle.
