Capabilities

Built for the donor + member combined record.

Most nonprofits run two databases (one for members, one for donors). Sembr is one record per person, with both relationships first-class.

Combined records

One database for members, donors, volunteers, and lapsed-but-engaged contacts. No duplicate-record reconciliation.

Donations + recurring giving

One-time, recurring, monthly. Stripe Connect direct deposit. Failed-payment retry, card-expiry reminders.

Tax-receipt automation

Canadian charities: CRA-compliant receipt PDFs. US 501(c)(3): IRS Publication 1771-compliant receipts. Auto-archived per contact.

Smart appeal drafts

Drafted from each donor's giving history with source citations. Always staff-reviewed before send.

Lapse + engagement

Surface lapsed donors before fiscal-year close. Engagement scores update nightly.

Volunteer management

Track hours, roles, shift assignments. Volunteer-only roles with restricted permissions.

How auto-verification works.

For five jurisdictions you get verified-NPO pricing the moment you sign up. Sembr queries the official registry, confirms your charity status, and applies the 25% discount automatically. Re-verifies quarterly. No paperwork, no chasing for renewal documents.

Recurring giving

Monthly giving lifecycle, not just monthly giving.

Recurring donors are your most valuable supporters. Sembr handles the boring infrastructure (subscription billing, card-update reminders, failed-payment retry, downgrade/upgrade, pause/resume) so your fundraisers can focus on the relationship.

Recurring givers receive a single annual receipt by default; per-gift receipts available on request. Lifecycle events (signed up, increased gift, paused, lapsed, restored) post to the audit log and feed into the engagement score.

  • Subscription billing via Stripe with automatic retry on failed payment.
  • Card-expiry reminders sent 14 days before card expires.
  • Donor-initiated upgrade / downgrade / pause / resume in the portal.
  • Annual or per-gift tax receipts, configurable per donor.
FAQ

Common questions from nonprofit directors.

Are tax receipts CRA / IRS compliant?
Yes. Canadian receipts include all CRA-required fields. US receipts meet IRS Publication 1771 requirements. Both are generated as PDFs with a unique receipt number, archived in the contact record, and emailed automatically.
Can we run a recurring monthly giving program?
Yes. Monthly giving uses Stripe subscriptions with full lifecycle management. Recurring givers get a single annual receipt by default; per-gift receipts available on request.
What happens to donor data if we leave Sembr?
Full export anytime: contacts, gift history, recurring program status, receipt PDFs, soft-credit relationships, all in JSON, CSV, or SQL. No fee. No retention period. The export tool is in the dashboard; one click.
Do board members need separate logins?
Yes. Board / staff / volunteer / member are distinct role types with permission scopes. Board members typically get read access to financials and member roster, plus voting eligibility on governance items. Permissions are configurable per role.
Can we migrate from DonorPerfect / Bloomerang / Little Green Light?
Yes. We support imports from DonorPerfect, Bloomerang, Little Green Light, Kindful, Network for Good, and generic CSVs. Free Concierge migration on annual plans (with 25% NPO discount stacked).
