About the platform
What the platform is and who it is for
4ong is a web application for not-for-profits, charities, community organisations and foundations. It keeps donor records with the full giving history and recurring gifts, fundraising campaigns, a volunteer register with logged hours, grant-funded projects, and the member register with membership fees and arrears. Exports go to the accounting software your organisation already uses, because the platform does not keep double-entry books.

What you can do with the platform
With the platform you can:
Keep one complete record for each donor, member or sponsor, with the full giving history.
Track one-off and recurring gifts, with the amount, frequency and next expected date of each recurring gift.
Run fundraising campaigns with a target, a deadline and a result report.
Keep a volunteer register, log hours per activity and per volunteer, and issue volunteer certificates from those hours.
Follow grant-funded projects by budget per expense line, with expenses recorded against the project and reporting deadlines in view.
Build narrative and financial reports for funders from the same data kept in the project.
Keep the member register, membership fees and arrears, and prepare board reports from the data already entered.
Pros and cons
✓Pros
- One record per donor, volunteer and member, rather than separate spreadsheets kept by different people.
- Volunteer certificates are issued from the hours already logged against each volunteer.
- Funder reports are built from the budget and expenses already entered on the project.
- Board reports come from the data already in the platform, so they do not need rebuilding by hand.
- Interrupted recurring gifts are flagged, so you can see where giving has stopped.
- Exports carry the records into the accounting software your organisation already uses.
!Cons
- It does not keep double-entry books, so it works alongside your accounting software rather than replacing it.
- It is a web application and needs an internet connection to use.
- Reports are only as complete as the records entered, so the team needs to keep the data up to date.
- It covers the records described here and is not a general-purpose tool for every part of an organisation's work.
How it works (3 steps)
- 1
Create the registers
Enter your donors, members and volunteers as records. Each record keeps its own history from the start.
- 2
Set up campaigns, projects and fees
Define each fundraising campaign with a target and a deadline, each grant-funded project with a budget per expense line, and the membership fees.
- 3
Record activity as it happens
Log gifts, volunteer hours and project expenses as they happen, so board and funder reports can be built from the same data.
The platform compared with spreadsheets and paper registers
A comparison on the criteria that matter to a not-for-profit, charity or foundation:
| Criterion | 4ongRecommended | Spreadsheets | Paper registers |
|---|---|---|---|
| A donor's giving history | One complete record | Spread across several files | Hard to reconstruct |
| Recurring gifts | Amount, frequency and next date kept | Checked by hand | Checked by hand |
| Volunteer hours and certificates | Logged per volunteer, certificates issued from the hours | A separate sheet | A paper log |
| Grant project budget and expenses | Expenses recorded against each budget line | Reconciled by hand | Kept in a folder of papers |
| Funder report | Built from the project data | Rebuilt each time | Rebuilt each time |
| Board report | Built from data already entered | Rebuilt each time | Rebuilt each time |
| Member register and arrears | Membership fees and arrears in one register | Checked by hand | A paper register |
Questions not-for-profits ask about the platform
What is the platform?
It is one web application for the records a not-for-profit usually keeps across several files: donors, volunteers, members and grant-funded projects.
What kind of organisations is it for?
Charities, community organisations, associations and foundations that manage donors, volunteers, members or funded projects.
Can I see which donors have stopped giving?
Yes. Each supporter's history shows the last gift and the next expected one, so you can see who has stopped giving.
How are recurring gifts tracked?
Every recurring gift has its own record with the amount, the frequency and the next expected date. Interruptions are flagged on that record.
How are volunteer hours recorded?
Hours are logged per activity and per volunteer. The total for each volunteer can then be used to issue a volunteer certificate.
Can the platform produce reports for funders?
Yes. A grant-funded project keeps its budget per expense line, the expenses recorded against it and its reporting deadlines. Narrative and financial reports for the funder are built from that same data.
Does the platform replace accounting software?
No. It does not keep double-entry books. It exports records to the accounting software your organisation already uses.
Is it a web application or a desktop program?
It is a web application, so the team uses it in a browser rather than installing a desktop program.
