To get started, just go to https://app.software4nonprofits.com/register. That will allow you to either sign in with a Google account, or create an account with your name, an email address and password.  (If you are already signed into a Google account in your web browser, you may be taken immediately to the next page.)

The next page (General) allows you to enter the basic information about your organization, including its name and full address (which is required, since it will be required on your receipts).

On the next page (Preferences) you get to view or change some options, including the date and time formats for data entry and display.

On the next page (Receipts) you need to enter the name and position of the signatory - the person who will sign the receipts. Receipts are the forms that the program generates, for you to send to your donors to use for their tax deductions for their donations. In the USA they are also called “contribution statements”. (After your initial setup, you will be able to come back and also upload a scanned signature image, for use in emailed receipts.)

On the final Overview page, you can review your entries. If anything is not how you want it, the Back button will let you go back to previous pages to make corrections.

When you are satisfied, click Create Organization to complete the process. After a short pause, you will come to the Overview page.

You can always come back to the **Organization** option on the main menu to change any of the data you enter in this initial setup of your organization, except for the country.

You don’t have to enter any payment information until you have more than 25 donors - the app is always free up to that point.
