What it is
A donor management app for foundations is a web-based database that records contributions to each fund (including donor-advised and endowment funds) with the gift amount, date, and vehicle. It centralises fundholder profiles, pledge balances, and giving history so staff and trustees can see the full picture.

Every field below is one you can add, rename, or remove by chatting with Kleap — a starting point tuned for foundations.

Frequently asked questions
Can it track multiple named and donor-advised funds separately?+
Yes. Every contribution carries a fund designation, so gifts to each named, donor-advised, or endowment fund are recorded and totaled independently. That gives staff and trustees a clean per-fund balance and history instead of one commingled pool.
Does it process stock or DAF transfers or integrate with our accounting software?+
No. Kleap records a gift once it has been received, with amount, date, fund, and gift vehicle, but it does not move money, execute stock or DAF transfers, or sync with accounting software. It maintains fund histories, pledge balances, and donor profiles you can report from and reconcile in your own ledger.
How do we monitor multi-year pledges to the foundation?+
Each pledge is stored with its full commitment and a running balance, so you can see scheduled versus received amounts on any fundholder. That makes it straightforward to report pledge fulfillment to the board and follow up on commitments that are behind.
Can we align donors with the program areas they care about?+
Yes. A program-area-of-interest field on each donor record lets you segment supporters by the causes they fund. Staff can then steward donors with reporting relevant to their interests and match new opportunities to the right fundholders.
