Data Ownership and Portability

Data portability supports easy migration, backup, and compliance needs.
Cloud-based access allows users to retrieve their information anytime and from anywhere.
The policy emphasizes transparency, security, and operational independence for nonprofits.
Scaling Up / Down
Charityproud offers easy account scaling based on the number of records or contacts in the database.
As an organization grows and adds more records, the account automatically moves to the next pricing tier without requiring system changes or downtime.
Pricing tiers are structured by record count, for example:
Up to 1,000 records: approximately $90–$100/month
1,001 to 5,000 records: approximately $150–$180/month
5,001 to 15,000 records: approximately $250–$300/month
15,001 to 30,000 records: approximately $350–$450/month
Custom quotes are available for organizations with more than 30,000 records.
This tiered pricing model allows nonprofits to scale their subscription cost according to their database size, ensuring they pay only for what they use.
It also implies that organizations can scale down if their record count decreases, adjusting their plan accordingly without switching platforms or experiencing service interruption.
The terms & conditions for contract renewal and cancellation
Charityproud pricing is subscription-based with monthly billing aligned to the number of contacts.
Implementation fees apply depending on the tier, generally ranging from $500 to $1,000 for initial setup and training.
Contracts typically renew automatically unless the nonprofit provides notice within a specified period before renewal.
Cancellation usually requires advance written notice, often 30 days, to avoid automatic renewal charges.
There is no indication of long-term lock-in; nonprofits can adjust their plans monthly based on record count changes, suggesting flexible contract terms.
Additional costs may apply for customizations, data migration, or advanced training beyond standard support.
