About
MoneyMinder is simple, specialized accounting software built from the ground up for nonprofit treasurers and volunteer-run organizations. Unlike general-purpose accounting platforms that overwhelm non-accountants, MoneyMinder offers exactly the features small groups need — without the complexity they don't. It serves PTOs, PTAs, HOAs, booster clubs, sports teams, churches, and mission-driven associations of all kinds. At its core, MoneyMinder provides intuitive tools for accounting, budgeting, bank reconciliation, contact management, and expense reimbursement. Treasurers can connect to more than 12,000 financial institutions and payment platforms — including PayPal, Stripe, Square, and Venmo — to automatically import and reconcile transactions, eliminating manual data entry and reducing errors. Compliance is built in: MoneyMinder guides 501(c)(3) organizations through tax-exempt requirements, including 990-N and 990-EZ filing pathways. Board-meeting-ready reports make it easy to communicate financial health to stakeholders without any spreadsheet formulas. Support is a standout feature — the platform provides step-by-step guides, how-to videos, a treasurer-focused podcast, a blog, and live customer support staffed by experienced nonprofit treasurers. A no-credit-card-required free trial lets organizations get started risk-free. Priced at $299 per year, MoneyMinder is an affordable and reliable alternative to spreadsheets or enterprise accounting tools for the millions of volunteer treasurers managing community finances.
