For non-profits and co-ops

Open books your donors, members and board can check.

Every gift and due paid through Stripe becomes a signed receipt and a line in replayable books. Anyone can verify, no account.

  • A sealed month for every board meeting, not a spreadsheet.
  • Receipts donors and members can verify themselves.Acknowledgment letters: Later
  • Open formats: your auditor gets the events and rebuilds the books.

The closest simulation: a year of giving.

There's no non-profit or co-op simulation of its own. The closest giving model is Cedar Hill Community Church, a simulated church. Its year runs through the engine, hledger and DuckDB, and all three give the same KPI hash. See every preset and where the simulations simplify.

  • Some add a one-time gift, a roof-campaign gift or a retreat registration
  • A few mistaken gifts refunded, often in part
  • A nonprofit card rate: 2.2% + 30¢

Three things a non-profit’s books have to answer

1. Donors and members who want to see where the money went

How Trifold answers it (chapter 03, Proof): every gift and every due paid through Stripe gets a receipt signed with your organization’s key. A donor or a co-op member can check theirs on the verify page, without an account.

2. A board that needs the month, not a spreadsheet

How Trifold answers it (chapters 02 and 03, Books and Proof): payments post as balanced, append-only books, and you seal each month before the board meets. Anyone holding the seal can check that the month hasn’t changed since.

3. A grant report or an audit

How Trifold answers it: every number traces to the Stripe payment behind it. Your auditor gets the events in open formats (hledger, Parquet, CSV) and can rebuild the books themselves. Tracking money by grant or fund isn’t built: the books show what came in through Stripe, not which grant it belongs to.

Planned pricing

Planned non-profit and co-op pricing is on the pricing page. It is a plan, not an offer, and may change before launch.
