What is Mich?
There’s an organizational sweet spot between Excel spreadsheets and expensive and complex CRM applications — and that’s where Mich resides. Mich keeps your donors and their giving organized: gifts and in-kind donations, multi-installment pledges, designations, campaigns, appeals, events and attendance, tax receipts, and a dashboard that shows how your fundraising is doing. It runs entirely on your machine, so your supporters’ information never leaves it.
Highlights
Bring donors and gift history in from a CSV file — matched, previewed and undoable, so you don't re-type your spreadsheet.
One record per supporter with contact details, validated addresses, and full giving history at a glance.
Record gifts by type and method — cash, check, in-kind, or ones you define yourself — and split a single gift across multiple funds.
Track multi-installment commitments by frequency and status, then record and receipt each payment.
Generate personalized receipts and thank-you letters from your own Word templates by mail-merge.
Schedule one-off or repeating events, invite donors and track every RSVP, then check guests in on the day — or simply count who came, for a service or drop-in with no guest list.
Attribute every gift to the drive that raised it, the ask that produced it and the fund it belongs to — so you can tell which one worked.
Eight reports plus retention, lapsed and first-time donor metrics — not just total raised.
Your database lives on your computer, encrypted at rest, with verified backups and an audit log.
Why “Mich”?
Mich means “gift” in Dholuo, a Nilotic language spoken by the Luo people living near Lake Victoria in Kenya and Tanzania. The app grew out of lasting friendships in Kenya and was built in support of the nonprofit Stars of Kenya. Read the story.
Simple pricing
Mich is free to use for as long as you like, limited to 10 records of each type and 5 receipts. A one-time license removes the limits.
