Every system can take a gift. The question is what happens to everything that gift sets in motion — the event, the volunteers, the staff who deliver the program, and the books at the end of the month.

Obstacles to overcome
Three objections we hear in almost every evaluation — and what's actually true.
“All-in-one platforms are too expensive and complicated for us.”
Switching to an all-in-one platform will cost more, take months to migrate, and be too complicated for our team to learn.
Missio replaces your entire software stack for less than what you're paying for separate tools, our team handles the migration for you, and most staff are up and running in days — no IT department required.
“Migration will eat our fundraising season.”
Moving donor records, giving history, pledges and event data will take months, and something will break in the middle of an appeal.
Our team runs the migration and reconciles every total against your current system. You keep both systems live in parallel until the numbers match, and you pick the cutover date around your calendar — for most organizations that means after year-end appeals and before spring events.
“Our team isn't technical enough for a platform this big.”
A system that does this much will need an administrator we can't afford to hire, and our staff will never adopt it.
The reason your current setup feels hard is that it's seven products with seven logins, seven support teams, and seven ways of spelling the same donor's name. One system is less to learn, not more — and you turn engines on when you're ready for them, not all at once.
HOW IT WORKS
From understanding your current setup to moving your data and making the switch, our team guides you through every step.
We map every tool you're paying for against what Missio covers and show the real annual difference. If consolidating doesn't save you money, we'll tell you.
Donors, giving history, pledges, recurring gifts, event records, and volunteers. Our team handles the migration and reconciles totals against your current system.
Both systems stay live while your team trains and verifies the numbers. You choose the cutover date around your fundraising calendar.
