On a mission
to give nonprofits
their time back.

Most CRMs were built for data entry. We built Sapling so fundraisers can spend the day raising money — not wrestling software.

WHO WE ARE?

We are a team of nonprofitveterans, technologists,fundraising strategists,and AI specialists whoshare a common passion:helping organizationsmaximize their impact.

WHAT WE VALUE

Built on three commitments

Every roadmap call, every product decision, every line of code — measured against mission, purpose, and growth.

Growth-Focused

From your first donor to your thousandth, we scale with you. Our ecosystem grows as your impact grows, providing the tools you need at every stage.

Purpose-Built

Built specifically for nonprofits unlike other CRMs. We understand the unique challenges of fundraising, and donor relations.

Mission-Driven

We exist to serve nonprofits and amplify their impact. Every decision we make is guided by how it will help organizations do more good in the world.

FOUNDER’S NOTE

Our Story

The Sapling Group

The Sapling Group was founded on a simple belief: nonprofits deserve technology that empowers them, not overwhelms them. We saw too many organizations struggling with software that was either too complex, too expensive, or simply not designed for their unique needs.

Like a sapling that grows into a mighty oak, every nonprofit has the potential to create lasting impact. Our mission is to provide the tools, insights, and support that help organizations grow from their first donor relationship into thriving communities of sustained support.

Today, The Sapling Group offers a complete ecosystem of solutions:

  • CRM
  • AI-powered insights from Orchid
  • Native payment processing
  • Fundraising strategy & support

All designed to work together seamlessly. We’re building the future of nonprofit technology, one organization at a time.

Built by people who’ve worked in the nonprofit sector and understand the challenges firsthand. Our diverse backgrounds in development, technology, and strategic planning inform every product we build and every partnership we forge.
