Plus, there are no fundraising goal or deadline requirements so you keep what you raise.

Because small non-profit groups often have unique
governmental and organizational filing requirements, traditional accounting
software is either too complex, too expensive or sometimes just doesn't meet

organizations to create transparency as well succession planning for
treasurers. No longer are cartons of documents or big messy binders passed from
one volunteer to another.

make that claim.

Typically,
a press page is a place for you to put all the information a reporter needs to
write about you. If they’re writing a story about your organization, they’ll
often need to use a logo, fact sheet, a photo or two, some video. The problem
is this kind of information isn’t available on most websites. Many nonprofit
sites aren’t designed with the reporter in mind, and there is much to gain by
making it easier for a reporter to cover your news. Totem will build your page
for you in 48 hours or less!
