Not just a grade. What to do next.

LYBUNT and SYBUNT lists

Who gave last year (or some year) but not this one, ranked, with what to do about each group.

Fix these first

A ranked list of the changes most likely to raise your grade, written in plain language.

Marketing and campaigns

Reach, opens, clicks and cost for each campaign, with cost per donor and donation-page conversion.

Where revenue moved

Revenue gained and lost, by donor group and channel, so you can explain this year's number.

A one-page board report

Share a read-only link with no donor names. Turn it off or replace it any time.

Grades by program

Gifts can carry a program, so every report narrows to one program or hosted project.
