Aplos Software
Overview
Nonprofits and faith organizations often struggle with general accounting tools that don’t support fund tracking, donor workflows, or grant tracking. Aplos solves this by offering a platform built for these use cases: it enables organizations to manage restricted funds, track contributions, run campaigns, and present transparent reports to stakeholders.
With integrated donor & CRM tools, event registration, and donation pages, Aplos aims to reduce the overhead of managing multiple systems and ensure financial integrity for mission-driven entities.
