Used by one of our many external services, which we provide to some of our clients, to give them a better experience when using our main product. Airtable makes it easier for us, in terms of effort and cost, to develop these services by acting as an external temporary database.

empowerHER was researching a CRM to use in lieu of Google Sheets. As a nonprofit, many of the off the shelf products were not a fit for our organization. We needed something to manage our enrollment, volunteers, and donors. Airtable is a perfect fit for us. Having all of our data in one location, easily navigated, sorted and filtered as needed has dramatically increased our productivity.

Airtable offers a nice balance of user-relatable tools and good performance with rigorous tasks that fall outside the capabilities of a normal spreadsheet workflow. Because of that, Airtable fills an important niche for me between day to day information tasks and highly structured data operations. Furthermore, because Airtable is approachable, I find it is a good way to get members of my team thinking more clearly about their data pools and business operations without getting too far down the rabbit hole with IT.

We use Airtable primarily to collect, organize and act on student enrollment, as well as a hiring system. We also utilize it as a primary contact database and project management tool. Some secondary uses include event planning and planning in general, inventory management, marketing campaign building, and employee on-boarding. We continue to find more and more ways to centralize all of our activity within Airtable. We also utilize Zapier as an interface/automation system for moving data between systems.

The whole organization. It allows us to capture data of our work in real time. Volunteers are assigned their tasks according to their schedule, they show up, do the required tasks, enter the data in terms of the activity, and also their hours etc. This helps in giving us an almost up to date representation.

Airtable is currently in use by our content and communications teams, primarily as a way to track and manage an inventory of our AV gear and its use. The platform allows multiple users and the ability for us to keep track of the gear, as well as its costs and insurance coverage.

We are a nonprofit with around 40,000 donor records. We use multiple applications to manage our data. Airtable is an amazing tool for quick collaboration when we are working with data with multiple team members. Their different visual views through filtering are a time saver to work on data with a lot of fields. We also love the Airtable form functionality where people internally and externally can contribute to the data.

Airtable is mainly being used for our development department where we manage donor data. We are noticing we use Airtable more and more since it integrates with our other applications as well.

Airtable is being used to develop a database based on information from our legal team, in order to provide a means of allowing different members of the legal team to update data in one synchronized location, and for members of other teams to view the data as it pertains to their work.

We've recently started using Airtable to manage our marketing calendar from projects to collateral, social media and editorial. Prior to Airtable we had multiple spreadsheets across different folders and shared drives and this has enabled us to put all of our projects into one location and collaborate in real time on those projects.

We are an NGO which matches adult volunteers with children living in orphanages in Slovakia, Europe. One year ago, we chose Microsoft Sharepoint as our complex information system tailor made for our purposes. It was slow, inflexible and the team was frustrated by being unable to adjust it completely to our needs. We wanted to cover every process in our NGO starting with CRM for our volunteers, children in the program, donors and partners, through the selection process of each volunteer, quality and impact measurement, ending with importing all the received donations and controlling of retention and costs.

We even had Accenture advise us pro bono on how to improve our system. After many meetings and the understanding that what we want is basically impossible in a Microsoft environment, and after long hours of research and discussions, I found Airtable. Just for a try, I imported the most crucial data from Sharepoint to Airtable.

It felt like a miracle - it was easy to use, fast, provided all the features I needed and the user interface was just great. It gives both the table view and form view, and most of all, it is an idiot-proof system that instantly connects records from various "sheets" called tables in Airtable.

Now we use it for Tasks, Manuals, Events integrated with Google Calendar, CRM is integrated with Eventbrite - whenever any of our volunteers want a training we have the name in Airtable instantly, the records are instantly integrated with Mailchimp - different for our donors and different for other contacts, We have all the data from our volunteers using MS SharePoint native app, minutes from our meetings, all the data regarding impact and quality measurement, etc.

I basically made it all by myself and it I am not an IT geek, just a standard manager understanding computers a bit.

I recommend for basically everyone, and will stick with this app for all other projects I run.

We are using it across the whole organization now, starting out with HR for applicant tracking, employee management etc, and now rolling out for program management, tracking PR activities, monitoring technology resources, hardware setups etc.

We were earlier using Google Sheets to track, but as a significant proportion of the organization is not very technically inclined, writing formulae and scripts to create applications was a challenge. Airtable makes it super easy to create links between different tables, and the Slack integration and attachments features are things we wished were there in Google Sheets for a long time, and had to resort to clunky alternatives like uploading content to dropbox and then copy pasting links.

After years of managing volunteers and interns for our busy non-profit environmental management organization, I wanted to replace our current system with something that was Excel-compatible, cloud-based, and had relational database capabilities. I especially wanted a solution that was intuitive, customizable, visually stimulating without being overwhelming, and shareable. Airtable fits the bill. It is simple to learn but offers robust features that address reporting needs.

Besides using it for volunteer-intern management, I’ve begun using it to track equipment, inventory management, and partnership development. Other program managers are going to adapt it to their needs.

We are starting to use Airtable to help us organize our digital marketing plan, put all our marketing content/campaigns in one spot as well as manage our budget in one database. It currently is just being used by one department. It makes it easy for all of our databases to be in one spot.

We currently use Airtable to track and manage all programs and events for our non-profit in Airtable. From sponsorship solicitation and benefits management to event attendees and logistics. Airtable has become an integral tool in our office as a way to track and organize all of the different projects in our office. We are a small team and each of us works in specific roles to achieve our goals. Airtable has finally brought together dozens of excel sheets, word documents, and sticky notes in to one platform that keeps everyone in the loop and keeps our operations running smoothly and on time. The customized views keep roles and responsibilities clear for each team member, and the various ways to view sheets let's each member work in a way that best suits their needs. It has truly been a life saver for us.

We are using Airtable in our marketing and communications department to help manage projects we work on for different departments across our organization. It helps us meet deadlines for projects running at the same time and to keep us organized with specific details of the project. It's helpful to keep the projects separate but allows for details to be included about each project.

We use Airtable to solve, automate, and simplify a number of workflows in our Investment Office. Airtable also serves as a lightweight and extremely flexible repository for our ongoing work and opportunities. Primarily our Investment team uses it to manage deals and status, but our operations teams use it as well to keep the organization functioning and help with faster approvals. Our events team also uses Airtable to plan and execute different events we hold.

Here at St. Anthony's Free Clothing Program we use Airtable within our program for all of our donation drive logistics. This includes sending forms to donors for donation drive registration or pick-up requests, scheduling events for our truck driver (such as drop-offs, pick-ups, meetings, etc), and tracking drive history by organization. It saves a lot of administrative staff time and streamlines the drive scheduling process.

I've been using Airtable for the past month to plan and manage social media campaigns and website content and so far it has been great. We're dealing with a lot different platforms and content types which each have their own workflows and requirements, making it difficult to organize them cohesively. In Airtable I can have all that data in one place and then display exactly what I need with different views.

Note: This review has been placed as an eligibility requirement of Airtable's non-profit discount program, but is an accurate reflection of my experience.

We operate a large sanctuary for unwanted, abandoned and abused former pet pigs. Keeping up with hundreds of unique animals, what habitat they reside in, medical histories, intake records, was a daily 2 hours of office time. Scheduling workers, keeping up with orchard care and land management, all have been established in Airtable. It provides me with quick access to everything I need to keep the business operating smoothly and the animals all getting oversight.
