Nonprofit accounting software your team can actually work in.
Blackbaud is a well-known name in nonprofit finance.
For large organizations with complex accounting teams, fundraising systems, grants, endowments, and enterprise reporting needs, it may be a fit.
But not every nonprofit needs a heavy system. Many nonprofits need something simpler for finance teams, program leaders, executive directors, and boards.
Jade Funds was built for nonprofits that need clear accounting, budgeting, fund tracking, transaction review, receipts, reports, and team accountability in one place.
Fund accounting should not feel buried.
Nonprofits do not just need to know how much money is in the bank. They need to know what that money is for.
Jade Funds helps your team see what money is available, what is restricted, what has already been committed, and what needs attention.
Because a healthy bank balance does not always mean money is free to spend.
Built for more than the finance office.
A lot of accounting software is built around the person doing the books. That matters. But nonprofit finance touches more people than that.
See financial health, cash position, budget progress, and reports without digging through accounting screens.
Review activity, manage funds, track budgets, and keep financial operations organized.
See budget activity for their area and understand what has been spent, what remains, and what needs review.
Understand restricted gifts and funding activity without needing full access to the books.
Access clear reports for oversight and decision-making.
Use read-only access when it is time to review records.
Give every role the right view.
Not everyone should see everything. But the right people should not be left in the dark.
With Jade Funds, your nonprofit can create roles around how your team actually works and manage money as a team without giving everyone full control.
No more

- Program budget views
- Development funding context
- Board and auditor access
Keep the conversation with the numbers.
Nonprofit finance work gets messy when the conversation happens outside the system. A receipt gets emailed. A program expense gets explained in a meeting. A grant question gets asked in a spreadsheet comment.
Jade Funds keeps the conversation connected to the financial record: comments, receipts, questions, notes, review activity, and the context your team will need later.
Budget visibility before the problem shows up.
Budgets should not only matter when someone is preparing a board packet.
Jade Funds helps nonprofits compare actual spending against budget, see which programs are on track, and catch issues before they turn into surprises.
That means better conversations, cleaner reporting, and fewer last-minute scrambles before meetings.
Easier transaction review.
Every transaction has a story: what was purchased, which program it belongs to, whether it was grant-related, where the receipt is, who reviewed it, and whether it needs to be split across funds or categories.
Jade Funds helps your team review transactions, categorize activity, attach documents, add notes, and keep the record clean from the start.
Keep the record clean from the start
- Categorize activity by program, fund, or account
- Attach receipts and supporting documents
- Add notes and preserve review context
- Split transactions across funds or categories
- Track what still needs attention
Reports people can understand.
Financial reports should help leaders make decisions. They should not create more confusion.
Jade Funds helps nonprofits turn accounting activity into reports that executive directors, boards, finance committees, and program leaders can actually use.
See what matters
- Budget vs. actual performance
- Fund balances and restricted funding
- Spending by program
- Account balances
- Transactions that need attention
- Board and finance meeting reports
When Blackbaud may be more than you need.
Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT may be a good fit for larger nonprofits with complex enterprise needs, dedicated accounting teams, and deep integrations across fundraising, grants, payroll, HR, and reporting.
Your nonprofit wants accounting software without enterprise overhead.
You need fund accounting, restricted fund tracking, and clear availability.
Program leaders need to understand spending before problems show up.
Receipts, notes, comments, and review status should stay tied to the record.
Staff, leadership, boards, and auditors need the right level of visibility.
Non-accountants should be able to understand what the reports are saying.
Blackbaud is built for large nonprofit operations. Jade Funds is built for nonprofit teams that need clarity.
Some organizations need a large enterprise system. Others need a focused financial workspace that helps the team understand the money, communicate around it, and make better decisions.
Jade Funds brings the answers into one place: can we afford this, where does this money belong, are we staying on budget, what needs review, and what can we show the board?
Can this be charged to the outreach grant or should it stay under general program expense?
Grant-related. Receipt attached and approved for the current project budget.
