Margaret T. — Monthly Recurring

SCROLL

Spoke 01 · Donors

End the Midnight Reconciliation.

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.

Automated Tax ReceiptingIRS 501(c)(3)

IRS-compliant PDF receipts land in donor inboxes within 90 seconds of each gift — no manual export, no mail merge, no midnight Stripe reconciliation.

Recurring Gift TrackingLive sync

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.

Lapsed-Donor AlertsAI-drafted

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.

Stripe & PayPal Sync

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.

Donor Segments & Tiers

Major donors, mid-level, and grassroots supporters live in smart segments that update automatically — no manual tagging, no stale spreadsheet columns.

Schedule Shifts Without the Group Chat.

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.

Shift SchedulingDrag & Drop

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.

Background Check StatusCheckr API

Checkr integration pulls check results directly into each volunteer profile — coordinators see a green shield or amber warning without leaving Beacon.

Hour Logging & Verification

Volunteers clock in from any device; supervisors approve hours with one tap. Totals roll up to IRS Form 990 line items automatically.

SMS ConfirmationsNo personal #

Shift reminders, cancellation alerts, and last-minute fill requests go out via Beacon's shared number — your personal phone stays personal.

Impact Hours Report

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

No Deadline Passes Quietly.

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.

Deadline TrackerSmart alerts

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.

Narrative Workspace

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.

Pipeline Value TrackingBoard-ready

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.

Compliance ChecklistAuto-checklist

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

Board Decks in 60 Seconds, Not 60 Minutes.

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.

One-Click Board Decks60 seconds

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.

IRS Form 990 Export

Volunteer hours, program expenses, and compensation data populate 990 line items directly — your accountant gets a clean spreadsheet, not a chaotic email chain.

Funder Progress ReportsFunder templates

Pull program data directly into grant reporting templates — narrative sections, financial summaries, and outcome metrics in the format each funder expects.

Audit Trail

Every data change, login, and export is timestamped and attributed — giving your auditor a complete chain of custody without a single manual log entry.
