About the Coriander Platform

Running a small or mid-size non-profit can be daunting. Limited budgets must cover both mission and operations, and small teams often struggle to keep up with the workload. Time-consuming manual processes, combined with the need to navigate complex compliance requirements, only add to the burden.

While there are many tools out there for managing contacts, building websites, sending newsletters, and engaging with your community, they tend to be expensive, isolated, and difficult to use—especially for non-profits with limited resources.

That’s where Coriander comes in.

Coriander is designed specifically for smaller non-profits, offering an intuitive, all-in-one platform that requires no technical expertise or costly support contracts. With Coriander, you can easily manage relationships, build and maintain your website and newsletters, and uncover valuable insights to better engage your supporters—all while giving your members and donors a world-class experience, even on a shoestring budget.

Data Reimagined

Most existing AMS and CRM solutions feature rigid data schemas and pre-baked queries that have to be fine-tuned by expensive consultants. A few allow customers to do this themselves, but the process is clunky and time consuming.

Coriander imagines something different: a platform where you can structure and query your data how you want, with no code or technical knowledge required. Search records, build custom reports, track information about supporters and organizations, and structure groups however you like.

Listening to Nonprofits

Unlike CRMs that are designed to handle traditional sales pipelines, Coriander is being designed around the needs of nonprofits. We’re taking notes on the problems with AMS and CRM platforms that hold organizations back, and we’re approaching the design of Coriander with a fresh eye.

Instead of an ill-fitting product where you can only make use of a fraction of the features you pay for, Coriander’s development will see the addition of features nonprofits like yours can actually use. Our a la carte pricing model will also ensure you only pay for what you need.

Compliance by Default

Privacy, cybersecurity, and accessibility are daunting to many organizations, especially with the mounting liabilities for neglecting these topics. Coriander will address these topics from the very beginning, allowing nonprofits to focus on their mission, rather than navigating a maze of compliance concerns.

We firmly believe that compliance with standards like GDPR, CAN-SPAM, WCAG, and the like should be standard. It’s not just about avoiding liability, it’s the right thing to do! We want to enable nonprofits to provide a seamless experience for all their supporters out of the box.

Big Data for Small Organizations

Data is key to running and scaling a nonprofit, but it can be difficult to find specific trends and statistics. Coriander will build privacy-respecting analytics into the entire platform, enabling organizations to understand their relationships with supporters. What emails and posts resonate? Who is engaged with events, volunteer work, and the community? We want to enable nonprofits to find this information, on their terms.
