Keep your mission connected to the people who chose it.
Your supporters chose your mission. Reaching them shouldn't be the hard part.
Email, text, social and apps: you already use all of them, and the appeal or the volunteer call still gets lost. NonProfitBlasts gives your supporters one direct connection, where each person chooses the updates that matter to them.
Supporters choose the connection and the topics. Messages are permission-based and clearly from your organization. Credits never expire, and there is no subscription.
Youâre already sending. The question is whoâs actually reaching.
You send an appeal or a volunteer call and someone says, âI never saw that.â The answer is always the same: did you check spam? Or Promotions. Or the address they stopped checking. Your nonprofit technically sent the message. That is not the same as having a dependable way to reach people. Text, social and apps each help, and each leaves its own gap.
Your supporters raised their hands. Donât lose the relationship in their inbox. Blasts adds the part thatâs missing: a direct connection they choose to make, so the next urgent need or matching gift actually reaches them.
One connection your supporters choose to make.
With Blasts, a supporter connects with your organization once, usually at a moment they are already engaged, such as a donation, a volunteer signup or an event registration. Blasts is a free app, the Chrome or Edge extension on a computer or the iPhone or Android app, so there is nothing for your nonprofit to build and no accounts to manage. After that, you have a permission-based, direct line: your messages appear right on their phone or desktop screen, clearly marked as coming from your organization. Because people opt in, your message doesnât have to compete inside a crowded inbox or get caught by a spam filter, and you never have to reacquire their attention every time you have something important to say.

Blasts gives you the connection. NonProfitBlasts gives your organization the system for using it.
Getting a supporter connected is the start. Then someone has to actually run the relationship: who hears what, who on your team can send, what goes out today and what carries a whole campaign. Thatâs your NonProfitBlasts Hub, the place your whole organization communicates from.
Blasts
Supporters opt in once, at the moment they engage. You have a permission-based, direct line to their phone that doesnât compete inside the inbox or depend on an algorithm.
NonProfitBlasts Hub
Organize your supporters, give staff access, send and schedule, have real conversations, and steward the relationship across a whole year.
- 1ConnectSupporters opt in the moment they engage: a gift, a signup, a registration.
- 2OrganizeSort supporters into All Supporters, Donors, Volunteers, and more.
- 3Give accessLet each coordinator reach only the supporters they should.
- 4CommunicateSend now, or write once and schedule it for later.
- 5Have conversationsWhen a supporter replies, it comes back to you, one to one.
- 6Plan aheadAutomate welcomes, impact stories, and campaigns.
Volunteer shifts get filled. Donors stay engaged. Campaigns hit their goal. Supporters act when the mission needs them.
One organization. One connection. Every supporter hears what matters to them.
Your donors arenât your volunteers. Your volunteers arenât your board. They donât belong on one list. In NonProfitBlasts, supporters can choose the updates they want to receive, while your organization separately manages private or assigned audiences. All Supporters reaches everyone connected to your organization, and optional audiences let each person follow the communications relevant to them.
Supporters choose the communications relevant to them
The monthly donor can follow Donors. The weekend volunteer doesnât have to. More communication doesnât have to mean more noise.
It starts the moment someone raises their hand.
A gift, a signup, a first event. Thatâs where the relationship begins, and itâs where most of it is quietly lost to an inbox. Hereâs how the Hub carries a single supporter forward, from first hello to steady giving.
- A first gift arrivesSomeone just gave for the first time.They connect right on the thank-you page, before the moment passes.Connections
- Their first weekA new donor barely knows you yet.The New Donor Welcome Journey introduces your mission, one message at a time.Journey
- A month inThe relationship needs to keep breathing.They start receiving Impact Stories from the series you loaded once.Content Series
- An urgent needTwo shifts open up on Saturday.Volunteers, and only volunteers, get the call, without emailing everyone.Targeted send
- A question comes backA donor wants to change their monthly gift.They reply, and staff handle it in Conversations, one to one.Conversations
- Gala seasonThe big night is six weeks out.The Annual Gala campaign counts down: save-the-date, reminders, day-of logistics.Event Campaign
- Year-endA matching gift unlocks for 72 hours.Donors hear about it at exactly the right time, while it still counts.Targeted send
Every one of these runs through the same Hub, on the same Blasts connection. Nothing here is a separate tool to buy or a second app to learn, and none of it replaces your donor database.
This is your Hub. Itâs built for how a nonprofit actually communicates.
Not a dashboard of settings. A place to organize your supporters, answer them, and steward the relationship, all in language your organization already uses.
Sending, scheduling, audiences, roles, and conversations are included from the start, along with Content Series like Impact Stories and Volunteer Spotlight that keep supporter stewardship running on its own. The season-planning tools, Journeys and Event Campaigns, unlock as a verified nonprofit as you grow with us.

NonProfitBlasts doesnât replace your inbox or your CRM. It fills the gap they leave.
| Channel | Good for | Where nonprofits struggle |
|---|---|---|
| Newsletters and appeals | Spam, Promotions and crowded inboxes mean it often goes unread | |
| Text (SMS) | Short, urgent messages | Per-message and platform costs, and it depends on phone numbers |
| Social | Community and new-supporter discovery | An algorithm decides who actually sees a post |
| Your app / portal | Direct notifications | Only works if supporters installed it and left notifications on |
| Blasts | Permission-based, direct to the screen, by audience | A supporter connects first, then you have a lasting direct line |
NonProfitBlasts isnât another donor database. Your CRM remembers who someone is, what they gave, and their history. NonProfitBlasts gives your organization a direct line to reach them.
That first connection is intentional. Supporters decide who can reach them. Once connected, you have a direct relationship rather than one more feed to compete in. NonProfitBlasts sits on top of the systems you already use; it doesnât replace your donor database.
Reaching your supporters shouldnât mean another monthly platform bill.
Blasts credits are prepaid and never expire, with no subscription. One typed message to one person uses one credit; a voice message uses two. That keeps the math simple and small.
A nonprofit with 2,000 connected supporters, in a typical month
- 2 organization-wide updates Ă ~1,500 supporters = 3,000
- 1 monthly impact update Ă ~900 donors = 900
- 4 weekly volunteer updates Ă ~250 volunteers = 1,000
- 5 event messages Ă ~400 registrants = 2,000
â 7,000 credits a month, and you can check the math yourself, entirely from verified Blasts credit costs.
At verified-nonprofit pricing, a $50 package (30,000 credits) covers roughly four months at that pace, and unused credits never expire. A comparable SMS program bills per message and often adds monthly platform fees; we donât quote a savings figure here because it depends on your current providerâs pricing.

Nonprofit leaders ask us
- What is NonProfitBlasts?
- NonProfitBlasts is a way for nonprofits to reach their supporters through Blasts, where messages land directly on a donor's, volunteer's or member's phone or desktop screen. Supporters connect with your organization once and choose which updates they want, so you have a direct, permission-based line to the people who opted in.
- How does a nonprofit use Blasts?
- You decide on a handful of audiences people can follow, such as All Supporters, Donors, Volunteers, Members and Events. Supporters connect and choose the ones relevant to them. Then a staff member sends a message to an audience: an urgent volunteer need to Volunteers, a year-end match to Donors, arrival details to Events. Everyone who chose that audience sees it on their screen.
- Do supporters need to connect first?
- Yes, and that is the point. A supporter approves the connection before you can reach them, so your messages arrive because they were wanted, not by fighting a spam filter. Once they connect, your organization does not have to compete inside the inbox or against an algorithm every time it has something to say. Supporters stay in control and can adjust or stop at any time.
- How do supporters connect?
- They connect once through a link or a short code, and the best moments are the ones where they are already engaged: a donation thank-you page, a volunteer or event registration confirmation, your newsletter, your website, or your existing supporter list. To receive Blasts, each person uses the free Blasts app, the Chrome or Edge extension on a computer or the iPhone or Android app, and your organization never has to create or manage accounts for them.
- Can supporters choose what they receive?
- Yes. In NonProfitBlasts, each supporter can choose the updates they want to receive, so a monthly donor can follow Donors while a weekend volunteer follows Volunteers and Events, and your organization separately manages private or assigned audiences. Essential messages to All Supporters still reach everyone connected to your organization. Supporters can mute, set quiet hours, or cut off a sender at any time, so more communication does not have to mean more noise.
- What can a nonprofit send?
- Typed messages with images and links, or voice messages recorded in the browser. Urgent messages can be marked so they stand out, for example a weather closure or an emergency appeal that pins to the top of the screen. It is meant for timely, useful, wanted communication rather than a constant feed.
- How much does it cost?
- Nonprofits buy Blasts credits, which never expire and carry no subscription. One typed message to one recipient uses one credit; a voice message uses two. A typical mid-size nonprofit sends only a few thousand credits a month. You buy credits from BlastCredits, an Authorized Blasts Partner, starting at $10.
- Do nonprofits qualify for savings?
- Yes. Verified nonprofits and churches receive 20%+ bonus Blasts credits on eligible packages through $500, for example $50 becomes 30,000 credits and $500 becomes 900,000 credits. You apply once through BlastCredits and the bonus is applied automatically at checkout.
