What tools do you need?

✅ Team response

Great question — and a perfect use of the wishlist. For a startup nonprofit offering financial services to churches with marketing as the priority, here's a recommended stack built entirely from free or nonprofit-discounted programs in our directory: • Foundation: Google Workspace for Nonprofits — free email, docs, and drive for your team • Reach: Google Ad Grants — $10,000/month in free search ads, your single biggest lever for generating interest; pair with Meta for Nonprofits for social • Email marketing: Mailchimp or Brevo to nurture churches that show interest • CRM: HubSpot CRM (free) or Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud (10 free licenses) to track relationships and your pipeline of churches • Design & content: Canva for Nonprofits (free Teams) for flyers, decks, and social graphics • Social scheduling: Buffer or Hootsuite (nonprofit discount) • Website: Wix for Nonprofits or Squarespace • Donations/payments: Stripe + Donorbox if you collect contributions If you start with just four — Google Workspace, Google Ad Grants, a CRM, and Canva — you'll have presence, reach, and follow-up covered at $0. Thanks for the idea; we're turning curated "recommended stacks" like this into a feature.
