The HubSpot Partner Built for Nonprofits
The HubSpot-only partner for nonprofits and purpose-driven organizations. We don't spread across five CRMs. We go deep on one, and we know the legacy systems you're leaving (Blackbaud, Raiser's Edge, Kindful, Luminate) so we can get you off them cleanly and onto a HubSpot foundation built for giving.
Description
Here is how we help you get the most out of Fundraise Up and HubSpot:
- HubSpot is the only CRM we build on and nonprofits are who we build for, so our integrations go deeper than multi-platform shops
- Implement Fundraise Up with forms, recurring giving, and a donor portal tuned for conversion
- Engineer the giving layer into HubSpot in real time so every gift and donor informs fundraising, marketing, and finance
- Build custom workflows, automated receipting, and accounting exports around your giving data
- Migrate from legacy platforms like Blackbaud, Raiser's Edge, or Kindful onto a clean HubSpot foundation
- Support your team after launch with managed services, training, and campaign optimization
Services
Fundraise Up Account Setup and Configuration
Donation forms, campaign pages, recurring giving, donor portal, and checkout, all configured for conversion and on-brand. Fundraise Up forms are built to convert meaningfully better than legacy giving pages, and we tune them to your causes and appeals rather than shipping defaults.
HubSpot Integration
We connect Fundraise Up to HubSpot so every gift, donor, and recurring plan flows into the CRM with the right properties, associations, lifecycle stages, and accounting designations. No CSV exports, no duplicate records, no reconciliation headaches.
Donor and Gift Data Architecture
We design how donors, gifts, pledges, and recurring plans are modeled in HubSpot and work with Fundraise Up so your reporting and segmentation actually work. This is where most DIY setups quietly break.
Campaign and Appeal Setup
Annual campaigns, emergency appeals, recurring giving drives, and events, configured to use Fundraise Up's AI-driven asks and HubSpot's automation together.
Accounting and Back-Office Sync
For finance teams that need it, we have built GL exports and reconciliation flows so giving data lands in your accounting system (FRU to HubSpot to Accounting) without line by line manual entry.
Training and Handoff
Your team learns the system. We document it. You are not dependent on us to run a campaign.

Whether you’re new to HubSpot or considering a switch from platforms like Blackbaud, we’ll show you how to integrate HubSpot into your nonprofit’s strategy seamlessly, so you can focus on what matters most: driving meaningful change.

FAQ
Three things.
- HubSpot is the only CRM we build on. Most partners spread across Salesforce, Raiser's Edge, and others, so their HubSpot work runs shallower than ours.
- We are also one of the highest-rated and most-accredited HubSpot partners in the ecosystem, with 30-plus client reviews and multiple accreditations.
- And we do not stop at the donation form. We engineer the giving layer into HubSpot and your back office, so every gift informs fundraising, marketing, and finance.
Nonprofits are our primary focus. We know how you think about pledges, recurring giving, soft credits, restricted funds, and stewardship, and we speak that language fluently. We also work with purpose-driven for-profits who care about the same kind of rigor. What stays constant is HubSpot and the depth of the work.
Yes, and this is some of our best work. Building only on HubSpot does not mean we do not know the systems you are leaving. We know Blackbaud, Raiser's Edge, Kindful, and other legacy, purpose built CRMS well enough to migrate your donor history off them cleanly and stand up Fundraise Up and HubSpot together on a foundation built for giving.
The form is the easy part. The work that matters is making the giving data flow into HubSpot, your receipting, and your accounting in real time, so it is usable for segmentation, reporting, and decisions instead of sitting in a silo. That takes data architecture and real engineering, including custom workflows, automated receipting, and accounting exports.
Book a consult or a tailored demo. We will learn your goals, look at your current setup, and outline a plan that fits your team and timeline. If Fundraise Up or Lake One is not the right call for you, we will tell you that too.
We connect Fundraise Up to HubSpot, natively and in real time, and HubSpot is the only CRM we build on. For more bespoke giving layers, we can build connections via the APIs of the Fundraise Up and HubSpot.
If you are on HubSpot or open to moving to it, including from a legacy platform, this is exactly our specialty. If you are committed to staying on a different CRM long term, we are probably not the right partner, and we will tell you that rather than stretch into work we do not do best.

Testimonials
Mary Beth Meyer
Director of Marketing, Pinky Swear Foundation
We've dramatically improved our ability to communicate the impact of donor dollars, leading to an increase in unsolicited foundation giving. With the Fundraise Up integration, our Annual Des Moines Iowa Radiothon exceeded $400k in donations, transforming it into a successful hybrid giving experience.
