Margaret T. — Monthly Recurring
Spoke 01 · Donors
Every gift, receipt, and lapsed-donor alert — automated, compliant, and visible before your morning coffee. Development coordinators who used Beacon cut their monthly close from 4 hours to 11 minutes.
IRS-compliant PDF receipts land in donor inboxes within 90 seconds of each gift — no manual export, no mail merge, no midnight Stripe reconciliation.
Monthly, quarterly, and annual pledges surface in one view with next-charge dates, lifetime value, and payment method health — so you catch a failed card before the donor notices.
Beacon flags donors who gave in the same period last year but haven't yet this year — with a pre-drafted re-engagement email waiting for your review, not your writing.
Bi-directional sync pulls every transaction, refund, and dispute into Beacon's ledger in real time — your books are always current without a single CSV import.
Major donors, mid-level, and grassroots supporters live in smart segments that update automatically — no manual tagging, no stale spreadsheet columns.

Spoke 02 · Volunteers
Beacon puts your entire volunteer operation — scheduling, confirmations, background checks, and hour logs — on one screen. Your personal phone number never appears in another reminder text.
Drag-and-drop calendar lets you build a full week of shifts in under five minutes — with role requirements, location pins, and capacity limits built in.
Checkr integration pulls check results directly into each volunteer profile — coordinators see a green shield or amber warning without leaving Beacon.
Volunteers clock in from any device; supervisors approve hours with one tap. Totals roll up to IRS Form 990 line items automatically.
Shift reminders, cancellation alerts, and last-minute fill requests go out via Beacon's shared number — your personal phone stays personal.
One-click export of total volunteer hours by program, date range, or individual — formatted for board presentations, grant applications, and 990 filing.

Spoke 03 · Grants
Beacon surfaces every grant deadline with enough lead time to actually meet it — not just notice you missed it. Grant writers report submitting 23% more applications per cycle after switching from calendar reminders and sticky notes.
Every grant deadline lives in one calendar with amber warnings at 30 days and red alerts at 7 — so a deadline never quietly passes while you're focused on a gala.
Each grant has its own writing environment with word counts, funder-specific requirements, and version history — no more hunting through email threads for the latest draft.
See your total grant pipeline value, win rate by funder type, and average cycle time — so you can tell your board exactly what's coming before it arrives.
Funder-specific deliverable checklists attach to each grant record — matching reports, site visit prep, and acknowledgment letters all tracked in one place.

Spoke 04 · Reports
Beacon pulls your live data into board-ready decks, IRS 990 exports, and funder progress reports — so you spend the meeting presenting, not the night before formatting.
Select a date range and Beacon assembles a branded slide deck with your KPIs, donor trends, volunteer hours, and grant status — ready to present in under 60 seconds.
Volunteer hours, program expenses, and compensation data populate 990 line items directly — your accountant gets a clean spreadsheet, not a chaotic email chain.
Pull program data directly into grant reporting templates — narrative sections, financial summaries, and outcome metrics in the format each funder expects.
Every data change, login, and export is timestamped and attributed — giving your auditor a complete chain of custody without a single manual log entry.
