Source: https://www.donatefy.org/solutions-human-services Updated: 2026-10-15 For food banks & human services ## Food bank fundraising your bookkeeper and grant writer both love. Donatefy is fundraising software that collects gifts on drive days, at distribution sites, online, and from monthly sustainers, and posts each one to QuickBooks pre-coded to the right program. [See a demo](https://www.donatefy.org/demo) Illustration: Drive days, distribution sites, online appeals, and monthly sustainers all reconcile into one ledger. Month-end, shortened ### Donations that arrive in QuickBooks already coded Map each program's campaign to its account, class, and department once. Every gift, from the website, a drive-day device, or the office, posts as a deposit with that coding. Your development data and your accounting data stop disagreeing. Our [month-end close guide](https://www.donatefy.org/guide-multichannel-monthend) has the checklist. - Per-campaign accounting coding across every channel - Cash and check entry for what arrives by mail - Full and partial refunds without processor support tickets Illustration: the Food Pantry Program campaign mapped to a QuickBooks income account, class, and department, with a drive-day handheld gift synced to QuickBooks ### Collection that works where the work happens #### Drive days Volunteers with the Mobile App on their phones and handheld readers at the tables, all feeding the same campaign. #### Facilities A kiosk in the lobby or warehouse entrance for visiting supporters, community partners, and tour groups. #### Online, always Emergency appeals stood up in minutes, seasonal campaigns with goal meters, and QR codes on every flyer.

Each program runs as its own campaign with its own accounting coding, and campaigns can even settle to different accounts for multi-entity structures. **What does a volunteer need to collect at a drive?** A compatible phone running the [Mobile App](https://www.donatefy.org/mobile-app), or a shared [Stripe Reader S700 or S710](https://www.donatefy.org/handheld-s700). Both put gifts in the same ledger with the drive's campaign attached. **We report to multiple funders. Does reporting keep up?** Campaign and channel reporting, plus per-campaign coding into QuickBooks, keeps program-level numbers separable without spreadsheet surgery. **Is there a free plan for a small pantry?** Yes. The Free plan at $0 covers complete online giving, recurring giving, and branded receipts. Kiosks, handhelds, and the Mobile App join on Starter and above.
