Serving Saudi Arabia

Englishالعربية
industries / non-profit

Non-profit software that accounts for every donation.

Donor CRMs, giving pages, grant management tools and impact dashboards for charities, foundations, NGOs and mission-driven organisations who need technology that works as hard as their team.

In short

We build donor CRMs, giving pages, zakat and recurring-giving flows, grant tools and impact dashboards for charities and foundations in Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Oman, then Europe and Pakistan. We have not built for a charity before; payments and reconciliation transfer from Pay2m in Qatar and Kuickpay in Pakistan.

Updated November 2026

our approach

A practice, not a sales territory.

Most non-profits are held back not by lack of mission — but by technology debt. A CRM nobody configured properly, donation pages on a tool you've outgrown, and grant reporting done in spreadsheets. Your team spends hours on data reconciliation that software should handle automatically.

We build the connective tissue: a donor management system that actually talks to your fundraising platform, recurring giving that doesn't quietly drop lapsed donors, and a grant pipeline that surfaces deadlines before they become emergencies. We have not built for a charity before; what transfers is payments and reconciliation from Pay2m and Kuickpay, and back-office software built from zero for eHissab in Oman.

Funders and boards increasingly expect current impact data, not quarterly PDFs. We build the measurement layer too — programme outcome tracking, donor-facing dashboards that show what a gift accomplished, and funder reports that pull from live data instead of being assembled the night before a deadline.

— problems we solve

Common engagements.

— 01

Donor CRM fragmentation

A CRM, a spreadsheet for major donors, paper pledge cards from the gala, and a separate email list. No single source of truth means your team reconciles data instead of building relationships — and major donors receive three 'first gift' acknowledgements.

— 02

Fundraising channel silos

Online donations, peer-to-peer campaigns, events, and major gifts all live in separate systems with no unified reporting. You can't answer 'what was our best acquisition channel last year' without a two-week data project. We consolidate everything into a single donor journey.

— 03

Impact reporting is manual and quarterly

Funders want current impact data; you're assembling PDF reports the night before a site visit. We build the measurement layer that turns programme data into live dashboards — for internal teams, board members, and the donor-facing pages that support renewals.

— 04

Zakat, sadaqah and recurring giving

Zakat, sadaqah and monthly giving each need their own receipts, allocation and reporting, and many charities track them in spreadsheets. We build the allocation rules your board sets and the receipting into the giving flow itself.

— 05

Grant management by email thread

Deadline tracking, budget compliance reports, and narrative submissions are managed in inboxes and shared drives. A missed reporting deadline puts your next grant at risk. We build grant pipelines with deadline alerts, budget variance tracking, and the document assembly that keeps your programme team ahead of funders.

— 06

Donation page abandonment

A giving page built on a generic landing tool — slow, not mobile-optimised, and a checkout that looks different from your brand. Every friction point costs completions. We rebuild the donation flow: trust signals, suggested amounts based on donor history, and a post-gift experience that starts the renewal conversation.

— by market

Charities, market by market.

Gulf — Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman

Charities are closely regulated — RACA in Qatar, IACAD and federal rules in the UAE, the National Center for Non-Profit Sector Development in Saudi Arabia — and public fundraising needs approval. Zakat and sadaqah need their own receipts, giving peaks in Ramadan, and donors expect Arabic and English.

Spain, Italy, France

Tax relief drives giving: Spain's donation reporting (Modelo 182), Italy's 5 per mille and RUNTS register, and France's tax receipts all depend on clean donor records. GDPR governs every donor list.

Pakistan

Giving is widespread and often informal, through mosques, trusts and WhatsApp groups. Zakat and Ramadan campaigns dominate, and donors pay through wallets and bank transfers as much as cards — so receipting and reconciliation matter more than a polished page.

— when not to hire us

When a giving platform will do.

If you need a donation page and a donor list, an established giving platform or a lighter CRM will serve you for a monthly fee — don't spend donor money on a custom build. Hire us when your systems need to talk to each other, when your rules (zakat allocation, receipts in several countries, grant reporting) don't fit the tools, or when you've outgrown them.

faq

Frequently asked.

8 questions answered. Still have one? Reach out.

Yes — we always start with a full audit of your existing NPSP configuration: custom fields, workflows, duplicate rules, and data quality issues. We document what's there before we touch anything. Migrations are staged with a rollback plan, and we run old and new systems in parallel and compare the results before you cut over.
