Budgeting module
Build a budget for your fiscal year and track it with two new reports: Budget vs Actual for where you stand, and Budget At-Risk for the line items on pace to overrun before year-end. Copy the whole budget forward when the next year starts.

Batch Gift Entry
A keyboard-first grid for the counting table: type a name or envelope number, Enter, next gift. Campaign splits, per-method totals to check against the bank bag, anonymous gifts — one clean deposit at the end.
Foundation and up
Giving envelopes
Numbered giving envelopes, the way churches have tracked offerings for generations — attached to each giver and searchable by number during gift entry, so the counting team can key an offering in minutes.
Core plan
Invoice pay links & recurring invoices
Every invoice carries a secure pay-online link — customers pay by card and the payment posts to your books against the right invoice automatically. Recurring schedules handle rent, dues, and sponsorships; batch recording and payment voiding round out the module.
Foundation and up
Automatic membership renewals
Membership tiers now have real renewal terms — monthly through lifetime — and, if you opt in, GoodBooks invoices upcoming renewals automatically and reminds members as the due date approaches.

Restricted gifts that release themselves
Donor-restricted giving (think building campaigns and grants) now follows nonprofit accounting standards without you thinking about it: gifts are tracked to their purpose, and when you spend against a campaign or grant, the release entries post automatically. Statements show restricted and unrestricted columns like your auditor expects.
Donor CRM & pledges
A donor tab with giving history, notes, and lapsed-giver flags — plus pledge tracking for capital campaigns, with live fulfillment against each pledge and soft credits.
