Donor records all over
Donor records scattered across Excel, WhatsApp, and email - no single source of truth.
Trusted by 192+ Nonprofit businesses across India

A nonprofit runs on relationships it cannot afford to lose. A donor should be thanked and asked again, a grant has a reporting deadline, and volunteers live in WhatsApp groups. When donor records sit in Excel and receipts go out by hand, a donor waits weeks for the 80G receipt they need.
CIPHER CRM for nonprofits keeps donor records, donations, PDF receipts, pledge reminders and grant deadlines in one place, so receipts go out on time. Tell us whether you are an NGO, a trust or a CSR foundation and we will show you your setup.

CIPHER CRM is the best CRM software for nonprofit businesses in India. It is a dedicated Nonprofit CRM edition by CIPHER Craft Pvt. Ltd., founded in 2018 in India, that manages donor relationships, volunteer tasks, grant pipelines, pledge reminders, donation receipts and follow-up tracking for NGOs, trusts and foundations, with a customer portal, offline mode and unlimited staff in every plan.
It is used by 192+ businesses across India with a 4.8 out of 5 rating.
If two or three of these sting a little, the problem is not your team. Donors, pledges, 80G receipts and grant deadlines are spread across Excel, WhatsApp and email, with no one place to run the NGO from.
Donor records scattered across Excel, WhatsApp, and email - no single source of truth.
80G receipts issued manually and late, frustrating donors who need them for tax filing.
Monthly and yearly pledges lapse silently because no one has the due dates in front of them.
Volunteers are managed on WhatsApp groups with no visibility of availability or task status.
Grant applications, reporting deadlines, and funder follow-ups fall through the cracks.
Leadership has no clear view of funds received, pledges pending, or donors who have gone quiet.
What changes the day your NGO moves onto CIPHER CRM.
Donor data in Excel sheets that only one person knows how to open
A searchable donor list every authorised team member can open, with changes showing up live
Receipts printed and couriered weeks after the donation arrives
A PDF receipt made the moment the gift is recorded, ready to download or share
A lapsed pledge noticed only during the year-end audit
A dated reminder on each pledge, so someone calls the donor before it lapses
Volunteer coordination chaos via multiple WhatsApp group chats
Volunteer tasks with checklists, owners and due dates on one board
Founders wait for the month-end sheet to know how fundraising is doing
A pipeline with the total at each stage and a Payments ledger grouped by month
CIPHER CRM brings every donor record, volunteer task, grant application, logged conversation and donation receipt into one place, so your programme managers and fundraising teams stop losing time across spreadsheets, email threads and paper registers.
Built for Indian NGOs, charitable trusts, CSR foundations and social enterprises, it turns scattered donor calls and appeal responses into a clear fundraising pipeline, with the total at each stage in view. It runs in the browser on any phone, tablet or laptop, and our team supports you in Hindi or English.
We built it around how an Indian nonprofit works: gifts recorded in rupees by UPI, cheque, cash or bank transfer, a PDF receipt for every payment, a reminder with a name and date on every follow-up, and flat per-organisation pricing that never charges extra for adding volunteers or field staff.

Every January donors start calling for receipts. With CIPHER CRM we record donations as they come in, and I send each donor a link to their PDF receipt.
Many of our villages get no network until you climb the school roof, so I doubted any software would hold up. Our field staff record each self-help group meeting on their phones while sitting with the women, and it all goes through once they reach our block office.
When a monthly sponsor stops giving and nobody notices, it is a child's school fees that go unpaid. Every pledge has a dated reminder, so the sponsor gets a call well before the term fees fall due.
Before a new batch starts, youngsters ask about courses on the phone, on WhatsApp, even at the centre gate. The website form feeds the list directly, and whoever picks up a call adds that youngster too. Each name has a mobiliser against it whose job is to call back.
Corporates ordering Diwali gift stoles from our women weavers want a GST invoice with tax on each line and our own number series, or their accounts team sends it back. We raise them in CIPHER with my signature and our logo on the PDF, and they clear the first time.
During the floods, each village distribution gets a task with tarpaulins and ration kits as its checklist. Volunteers tick items off at the boat as families collect them.
Ten ways CIPHER CRM helps Indian NGOs, trusts, and foundations keep donors close and programmes on track.
Keep every donor - individual, corporate, or CSR - with their giving history, logged conversations and notes in one searchable place, so every call starts warm and personal.
Record a donation by UPI, cheque, cash or bank transfer and CIPHER CRM makes the PDF receipt on the spot, with your trust's name and logo. Share the link and the donor downloads it themselves.
Set a reminder with a date on each monthly, quarterly or yearly pledge. When it comes due, the person assigned gets a notification, and every pledge date also shows on the team calendar.
Give each volunteer a task with a checklist, a due date and an owner, then share a task link they can open without signing in - so field coordination never depends on scattered group chats.
Call, email or open a WhatsApp chat with a donor in one click from their row, then log the outcome on the record, so the next conversation picks up where the last one ended.
Track every grant application as a record that moves through your own stages, with the amount on each card, reminders for reporting dates and every funder conversation logged, so your team never misses a deadline.
Set up each drive - from a Daan Utsav appeal to a year-end ask - as a project with a start and end date, a team, tasks and its own files, and tag the donors who gave to it.
Record every donation in rupees with payment mode, date, reference and notes, and see it in a Payments ledger grouped by month, each entry linked back to its record.
File registration certificates, MoUs and grant letters in a Documents tab by type, with an expiry date on each, so every renewal date is in plain view and anything past due is flagged.
Programme managers, field officers and event volunteers open CIPHER CRM in the browser on any phone. If the signal drops at a camp or village, it keeps working and syncs the moment the connection is back.
Twenty capabilities covering the full donor-to-impact journey for Indian nonprofits.
One record for each individual, corporate, and CSR donor with their full giving history.
A PDF receipt is made for every donation you record, ready to download or share.
Put a dated reminder on each pledge so the right person calls before it lapses.
Tasks with owners, due dates and checklists, on a board by status.
Log every donor call with its outcome, shown as Last contacted.
Move donor prospects through clear stages from first enquiry to loyal supporter.
Track grant applications, amounts and funder conversations stage by stage.
Run each fundraising drive as a project with dates, a team and tasks.

Keeps working on a weak signal in the field and syncs when you are back online.

Never miss a donor follow-up, grant deadline, or renewal date.
Attach MoUs, impact reports, and grant letters to donor and funder records.

Question: 1
Yes. CIPHER CRM is built for Nonprofit businesses in India and is used by 192+ companies across the country. It brings your enquiries, follow-ups, quotations, and payments into one place, with follow-up reminders and a CRM your team can open in the browser from anywhere.
Pipelines, fields, and lead sources are configured for how nonprofit teams actually sell and serve customers - so you are not forced into a generic sales template.
Question: 2
A CRM keeps every nonprofit enquiry - from online enquiry forms, calls and walk-ins - in one list, gives each one an owner, and reminds them to follow up, so nothing slips through the cracks and owners see every lead's status update live as the team works.
Question: 3
For most Nonprofit businesses in India, CIPHER CRM is the strongest fit - it is India-first, ready for a weak signal, flat-priced with no per-user fees, and configured for nonprofit workflows. Always compare options against your own requirements first.
CIPHER CRM: India-first, works on a weak signal, flat pricing, live in 1-3 days.
Question: 4
Not as a built-in chat today. Every lead and contact row has a one-click WhatsApp button that opens the chat, and nonprofit teams log each conversation as a follow-up on the record, with a name and a date on the next step.
Every promise and reply stays on the customer's record, so the full history is there for whoever picks up the phone next. A WhatsApp-style messaging tab is in development.
Question: 5
CIPHER CRM uses simple flat pricing with no per-user fees, so you can add your whole nonprofit team without the bill climbing. Exact pricing depends on your team size and needs and is shared on a quick demo call - call +91 97122 00017.
Two plans - Flexi and Growth - both include unlimited staff and clients.
Question: 6
Getting started takes 1-3 days. Book a free demo and our India-based team configures your pipeline, imports your existing leads and customers for free, and trains your staff - so you go live ready to sell.
No technical skills needed - setup and data migration are handled for you.
A growing Nonprofit business in India, running on spreadsheets and WhatsApp across a small team.
Enquiries were scattered across phones and chats, follow-ups were missed, and the owner had no clear view of the pipeline, payments, or team performance.
They moved to CIPHER CRM with free data migration - every enquiry in one list, follow-up reminders with a name and a date, branded quotations, and invoices that show what is paid and what is overdue.
Within weeks, follow-ups stopped slipping and the team responded noticeably faster - turning more of the same enquiries into paying customers.
At our eye camps we find village patients who need cataract surgery. Each surgery date is a calendar reminder for whoever arranges the van to the hospital.
Women who come to our centre tell us things they have not told their own families. So each counsellor sees only her own cases. I set that up myself, and I am no computer person.
A Sunday plantation drive on the Rajpur side needs volunteers who live close by and know how to dig pits and stake saplings. Each volunteer carries tags for locality and skill, so I filter by both and ring only those who fit.
Each quarter our CSR funders want the utilisation certificate. These days their team logs into our branded portal and finds every document we have shared.
Our old accountant knew by heart which families sponsor the langar, and on whose death anniversary. Before he retired, we put all of that on each family's record in CIPHER CRM, so the young man who took over calls them on time without ringing him at home.
For each child we keep the UDID number, the hearing aid or caliper we gave and when it needs refitting. We added these as our own fields, and the therapist reads them before the family walks in.
No tranche leaves our foundation unless the partner NGO's registration and tax exemption certificates are valid. Each partner's papers sit under Documents with their expiry dates, so I catch a lapsed one before the money goes out.
After a rescued dog goes home, we ring the family a week later. Each call is logged, and the last contacted date shows which family we missed.
Traders at the Lasalgaon mandi lift our members' onions and pay in bits, sometimes over weeks. Each trader's record has the owner and his munim as separate contacts, so when money is late I ring the munim first and go to the owner only if that fails.
Most nonprofit teams lose more deals to slow follow-up than to price. A CRM that reminds you to follow up, with a name and a date on every next step, often pays for itself before anything else.
Donor records, donation amounts, and documents travel over HTTPS every time.
Your donor records are there when you need them, on a service with 99.9% uptime.
Trustees, programme managers, and field volunteers see only what they need.
Regular backups protect your donor database and grant records from loss.
Evaluate any Nonprofit CRM against these criteria - CIPHER CRM is built to meet each one.
Choose a CRM built for how Indian nonprofit teams actually work - with rupee billing and GST on every line built in, not added on later.
Avoid per-user fees that punish you for growing. Flat pricing lets you add your whole team for one predictable cost.
Look for free data migration and go-live in days, not months, so you see value almost immediately.
Your nonprofit team works on the move, so make sure the CRM opens on any phone and keeps working when the signal drops, instead of losing what they typed.
Generic CRMs make you build everything from scratch. Pick one already configured for nonprofit pipelines and stages.
Choose a partner with India-based support in Hindi and English who understands your business and your timezone.
Confirm encryption in transit, access by job role, regular backups, and sensible data handling before trusting a CRM with customer data.
