Monday is a good product but not the best for small nonprofits

In late 2019, our team was growing and while our roles remained interconnected, we needed a more robust and collaborative set of tools than Outlook calendar deadlines and shared OneNote books. We wanted a software that would help us collaborate, track projects, submit task requests and build new workflows. It needed to be affordable since we are a small nonprofit. Monday.com helped us stay on track when we were remote in 2020-2021 and the team continues to use Monday, especially for our creative requests and major fundraising events.

As a nonprofit, our team probably doesn't use as many features as some. We have high level boards for yearly overviews and planning; detailed boards for 3 major fundraising events that involve the team, outside vendors and volunteer committees; a board and form for creative requests; a modified sales tracking board that we use to track donor prospects and stewardship; and some individuals use boards for specific project management.

Monday has been very reliable for us so we have not experienced any loss of service or major technical issues that could affect our productivity.
