Be one of our first 100 charities. Get a free governance healthcheck

Built for how charities actually work.

Other platforms make you choose: fundraising or case management. Donor tracking or volunteer coordination. Then charge extra for each piece. Alder includes everything, at every tier, because charities don't work in modules — they work across all of them, every day.

Fundraising

Every donation, every pound, every thank-you.

Track one-off gifts, regular giving, Gift Aid, and GASDS. Accept Stripe, GoCardless, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Crowdfunding pages. Real-time dashboards.

  • Gift Aid and GASDS tracking with HMRC submission
  • Stripe, GoCardless, Apple Pay, and Google Pay
  • Crowdfunding and peer-to-peer pages
  • Automated donor acknowledgements
  • Regular giving with failed payment recovery
  • Real-time income dashboards
