Frequently asked questions
Softr is the easiest way to turn your data into modern business apps—no coding or design skills required. Connect to your spreadsheet or database, customize layout and logic, and share with your team or clients. Non-profits use Softr to build volunteer portals, donation trackers, CRMs, event management apps, member portals, and resource directories.
Non-profits often have to patch together software or rely on costly developers. With Softr, you can create flexible tools that support your mission without draining your budget.
Here’s how it works:
- Connect your data: Start by choosing where your donor, volunteer, or program data will live. With Softr, you can build on top of tools you already use, such as Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, SQL databases, HubSpot, and more. You can also create and manage your data directly in Softr Databases.
- Set up users and permissions: Define roles like staff, volunteers, donors, and members. Add secure logins and control who can see or edit information with built-in authentication and role-based access.
- Build your pages: Use drag-and-drop blocks like Lists, Grids, Charts, Tables, and Forms to create app pages for donation dashboards, volunteer portals, event management apps, CRMs, or resource directories. Restrict access so only logged-in users can view certain pages, and only specific roles can take actions (view, edit, delete).
- Customize design and branding: Add your logo and brand colors so the system looks professional and fits with your organization’s identity.
- Add automations: Trigger alerts, notifications, or updates automatically. For example, send thank-you emails after donations, notify staff when volunteer shifts are filled, or update dashboards when new event registrations come in.
- Publish and iterate: Get your non-profit app live in hours, then continue to adjust or expand it as your programs and community grow—no developers needed.
With Softr, non-profit teams can connect to data stored in:
- Spreadsheets (Airtable, Google Sheets)
- Databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Supabase)
- Business tools (HubSpot, Notion, ClickUp, monday.com)
- Softr Databases for donor and member records
This makes it easy to unify donations, event registrations, volunteer logs, and community resources in one central hub.
Most non-profit software is costly and inflexible. Softr is different because it:
- Works with 15+ data sources, so you can build on top of your existing data
- Offers granular permissions to protect sensitive donor and member data
- Supports multiple use cases (e.g. volunteer CRM, event management, resource directories)
- Has AI features built in to summarize records or surface key insights
- Lets you scale your operations without heavy IT costs
- Offers community and expert support when you need it
Yes! Softr’s Ask AI functionality can help your team act faster with insights from live data in your app. This means you can ask questions like:
- “Who are the top 5 donors by campaign this year?"

- “What event sponsors have outstanding payments?”
Ask AI only analyzes the data each user is allowed to see at the block level, always respecting your app’s visibility and permission rules. This is an optional feature to include in your apps.
