I am the Artistic Director of an improv theater and school in Providence RI. After using an array of spreadsheets to collect and organize student and performer information, I ran across Airtable in a Google search. Just in the free version, I created a completely usable database. Airtable solved problems I had using spreadsheets and looking more deeply into the program I so much potential for bigger organizational fixes.
Airtable allowed me to gather new information, and organize old information much more efficiently.

I am currently using Airtable as a tool to track my home-school student's educational progress including class management, attendance, assignments, grades, GPA etc. I have been searching for a year for a product that would meet my needs and there is nothing on the market today to satisfy my business requirements. I did not have the time or monetary resources to build a web application from scratch. I stumbled upon Airtable and it is amazing!

Airtable is used by just about everyone in our company. We in marketing use it most extensively - we use it like a CRM to manage our organizations and contacts, a content management system to manage our ad and PR placements, and a budget management system. We are also planning to use it to manage our photos this summer. We are a non-profit so this system is an excellent all-around tool. Maybe not ideal for things like photo management but truthfully it doesn't seem that far off. It is ideal for many things because it's small and easy to use - a regular CRM (Salesforce or other) install would be costly and resource intensive, as would the other types of software we'd need to do everything this is doing. This is doing the job perfectly for our small organization. In my previous job I set up and managed databases for clients so that's why I am blown away by Airtable. It's power comes in its simplicity and flexibility. It really is an amazing tool. And you can take it quite far with the free version of it before you even need to decide whether to spend money on it.

We are a communications team using Airtable to get a bird's eye view of the work that everyone on the team is doing. We gather once a week as a whole group to go over projects and tasks and put our base on a display where we can all see where people are spending their time, what agenda items people want to discuss or even where our work might be overlapping and duplicated.

AirTable is currently being used by myself and four other team members. With a small team of five managing a growing non-profit organization, AirTable has been a welcome addition to helping us manage the countless programs, events, exhibitions, and marketing that we oversee. It has allowed me, personally, to stay on top of various programming and rental requests, in addition to managing tasks with planning our exhibitions, without feeling overwhelmed or like I am "dropping the ball."

We are using Airtable as a database back-end while we prototype new operating systems to run our nonprofit, which includes 2 improvised theatre performances every week year-round, a busy improv school with new classes starting every week, and a corporate training program. My first impression was that we'd use Airtable until we needed to move to a "real" database, but now I'm not seeing any reason to leave. As a developer, I appreciate not having to build authentication or basic CRUD functionality and being able to provide any customized business logic or reporting that I need via scripts which operate against Airtable's comprehensive and self-documenting API. As a manager, I appreciate the version history and audit trail that is automatically provided. Airtable provides a perfect blend of user-friendly front-end that is approachable for staff accustomed to working with spreadsheets and a robust back-end that provides rigorous data typing and validation. One minor gripe is that I would prefer if forms had a little more flexibility for updating existing records, instead of just generating new ones.

We use Airtable across our organization for many purposes. This flexible database helps organize our content, networking efforts, projects, and incoming applications. We love how the options within the system allow us to customize workflows and build multiple views of complex information. Basically, Airtable allows us to build customized apps to fix organizational and workflow problems in all aspects of our work.

The Cutler Scholars Program uses Airtable to manage our student and alumni information. Airtable allows us to organize and track important points of data (majors, graduate schools, enrichment activities, contact information, etc.) in an efficient manner. We no longer have to manage multiple lists in multiple locations - we can access all of our necessary information in [one] simple to use database.

The Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy is an annual program hosted by the Utah Genealogical Association. It is supported by a director and a committee of volunteers, as well as the UGA board and officers -- all virtually, each of us working from our own respective locations. The Institute has continued to grow over the past few years both in numbers of people participating, as well as in number of programs.

Managing this growing program dictated the need for a new way to track information. We have had information tracked in bits and pieces from Basecamp to Google Sheets to Dropbox to Sync to the personal computers of various volunteers and myself. I sometimes felt I had to spend as much time looking for the location of something as I did handling it. Even when things were quickly findable, managing the multiple parts was complicated.

We are using Airtable to develop and manage a new botanical garden in Middle Tennessee. We use linked tables to manage contacts, employees, volunteers, vendors, donations, grants, gardens, projects, plantings, equipment and routine nonprofit records and reports. Airtable allows us to easily customize workflows and capture the information we need and use it in other tables or custom reports. We do this to easily generate donation reports and receipts, planting summaries, garden cost estimates, garden materials lists, volunteer reports and our quarterly and annual reports including agendas and meeting minutes.

Education programs at our cancer research center are using Airtable to plan and organize events, projects, and programs. We are new to using Airtable, but have found that it's incredibly intuitive and easy to learn. Currently, we use it for two purposes: (1) to manage internal projects and "to dos" and (2) to plan programs that serve students and range in length from 2 weeks to 2 months. The Kan Ban and group features are very helpful and popular among staff for our internal projects. The dynamic calendaring and advanced calendaring features are particularly helpful for planning student-serving programs. Airtable helps us manage many moving parts and make changes to our plans in one place.

Our communications team needed to create an editorial calendar that not only allowed, but promoted collaboration among our leads for media relations, digital, and internal communications. We also needed a platform that gave line of sight to key stakeholders outside of the communications team. Airtable not only met—but exceeded our needs. Airtable makes it easier for us to think strategically, plan ahead, and take advantage of last-minute, time-sensitive communications opportunities.

Our team began using Airtable late last year as a product management tool. We are a small team at a non-profit org and we have limited resources, and Airtable has become an integral part of how we track and manage events, conferences, committees, and volunteers. We are constantly finding new ways to utilize Airtable.

I run outdoor programming at a large university. We use Airtable in many ways to manage our logistics. For example, we have a campus climbing wall that is using Airtable to track user visits; we use an embedded form to accomplish this. In another example, we run a large backpacking orientation program. We use Airtable to manage the logistics of that program - participant sign-ups, trip assignments, trip campsite and reservation information, etc. Blocks - especially Page Designer - has made reporting data out of Airtable much easier. I moved to Airtable from a custom-built FileMaker Pro database. I find that my student workers can figure out to how to use Airtable on their own. That saves us training time - and it also makes those folks more willing to engage with the tool. I appreciate that Airtable provides much of the power of a relational database without all the time setting up a database in another platform. I also love the ease of the mobile apps - providing me access to my data without needing to design a custom app or Filemaker "layout".

Blackbox is a Silicon Valley-based nonprofit that provides intensive programs and services to startup founders across the globe. We use Airtable on a day-to-day basis as a dynamic database, bringing together key information on our alumni, applicants, speaker & mentor community, partners & funders, and more. Throughout our program planning cycle, we also use Airtable to put together our program curriculum, agenda, and internal logistics schedule. Finally, we're thrilled to be able to use Airtable forms to seamlessly link our application form to the program planning process and allow applicants and partners to track their application status through shareable views.

We depend on Airtable to ensure all of our information is beautifully, intuitively organized and accessible in one place, and to collaborate as a team on important long-, medium-, and short-term objectives.

We use Airtable to track our members, their progress, registration for events, revenue, engagement, donations, and other needs as they arise. Since Airtable took off in our department, it's popularity has spread throughout the Foundation. Airtable has allowed us to centralize Excel spreadsheets, creating a more accurate profile of our members and their engagement in one location.
