But the reality is that running a nonprofit takes just as much hard work, financial organization, and strategy as running a business. The goals may be different, but no matter which important cause you aim to raise funding and awareness to, there are a few core aspects that every nonprofit must keep track of to succeed.<\/p>\n
Luckily, ClickUp is the perfect platform to provide the kind-hearted humans behind these organizations the tools needed to hit their goals while growing their missions!<\/p>\n

One of ClickUp\u2019s founding core values is, and always will be, Random Acts of Kindness<\/a>. <\/p>\n
Whether it\u2019s providing loans to small businesses, wellness kits for people experiencing homelessness, or anonymously donating funds, we don\u2019t feel the need to advertise in bright lights every time ClickUp does a good deed. I mean, that\u2019s the entire point<\/strong> of altruism, right?<\/p>\n

<\/div>\nThe 7 best ClickUp features for your nonprofit<\/strong><\/h2>\n
1. Custom Statuses within Views<\/h4>\n
\n![\"custom](\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/custom-statuses-in-clickup-1400x874.gif\")
Creating Custom Statuses for a Space in ClickUp<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n \ud83d\udc49 What it is<\/strong>: ClickUp\u2019s Custom Statuses<\/a> are available in every view\u2014from List to Calendar\u2014to let everyone in a task know what has been done and what needs to be done. You can customize your statuses to be as specific as you need, or simply apply preset statuses from a template!<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udc49 Problem it solves: <\/strong>Internal miscommunication among teams<\/p>\n
Whether your department is focused on securing funding or ordering t-shirts for volunteers, having full transparency through every step of the task\u2019s progress saves hours that might have been spent asking around for information or losing track of daily priorities. <\/p>\n
2. Multiple Assignees<\/h4>\n
\n![\"multiple](\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/multiple-assignees-in-clickup.png\")
Multiple Assignees in ClickUp<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n \ud83d\udc49 What it is<\/strong>: ClickUp\u2019s Multiple Assignees<\/a> is the feature that lets you put as many people as you need on a task, where everyone can comment, collaborate, and work together.<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udc49 Problem it solves:<\/strong> Remote working challenges<\/p>\n
When many volunteers and employees have people-focused tasks, having a clear view of who else is working on the project makes things transparent and organized. Having assignees know exactly who their teammates are improves accountability, communication, and collaboration.<\/p>\n
3. Time Tracking<\/h4>\n
\n![\"time](\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/time-tracking-in-clickup.gif\")
Time tracking tool in ClickUp<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n \ud83d\udc49 What it is<\/strong>: ClickUp\u2019s Time Tracking feature<\/a> is a tool that lets you manually or automatically track and record the time you spend on any task or project.<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udc49 Problem it solves:<\/strong> Inefficient planning and burnout<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, burnout is a problem felt by many nonprofit employees<\/a> all over the world. Caring so much about their cause combined with working overtime can be extremely hard on a person, so it\u2019s recommended that time\u2014especially overtime\u2014is tracked, along with days off to recharge. <\/p>\n
But besides taking care of dedicated employees, productivity is dependent on knowing exactly how long tasks take. Time is money, especially with a nonprofit. <\/p>\n
4. Formula Fields<\/h4>\n
\n![\"advanced](\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/advanced-formula-in-clickup.gif\")
Creating an advanced formula in ClickUp<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n \ud83d\udc49 What it is<\/strong>: Formula Fields<\/a> allow you to calculate any given fields within a task using both simple and advanced formulas. Put together budgets and reporting by calculating donations, hours spent, and more!<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udc49 Problem it solves<\/strong>: Low transparency on upkeep costs and how funds are distributed<\/p>\n
Just because it\u2019s a nonprofit doesn\u2019t mean financial planning is a non-factor\u2014quite the opposite, in fact! Not only is it critical to know what upkeep costs are and how much money is coming in, but this kind of transparency is exactly what people need in order to trust a nonprofit<\/a>.<\/p>\n
5. Integrations<\/h4>\n
\n![\"integrate](\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/box-integration-with-clickup.gif\")
Adding a Box file attachment to their ClickUp task via the Box integration for ClickUp<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n \ud83d\udc49 What it is<\/strong>: Integrations are tools that connect your favorite outside apps<\/a> to your ClickUp Workspace so you have absolutely everything you need under one digital roof.<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udc49 Problem it solves:<\/strong> The need for implementing up-to-date technology tools and solutions<\/p>\n
Events, fundraising<\/a>, and onboarding are all things that are now done digitally, which was a big departure for the nonprofit world in 2020. By incorporating apps with specific uses<\/a> into your mission, you set your team up for reaching the audience you need\u2014digitally.<\/p>\n

6. Form View<\/h4>\n
\n![\"customize](\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/clickup-form.gif\")
Creating a new ClickUp Form using Custom Fields<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n \ud83d\udc49 What it is<\/strong>: Forms in ClickUp<\/a> is a fully-customizable tool that lets you create forms that, when they\u2019re filled out and submitted, turn into organized tasks connected to the project they were made for.<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udc49 Problem it solves:<\/strong> Inefficient, disorganized outreach and data collecting measures<\/p>\n
Forms can be used for so many key nonprofit needs: volunteer applications, event RSVPs, donor outreach, employee surveys, and much more! The best part is that no matter what your Form was created for, every response becomes a new task linked to the project it belongs within\u2014this means no more losing track of responses or context!<\/p>\n
7. Public Sharing<\/h4>\n
