NetSuite delivers a powerful suite of cloud software designed for non-profit organisations of every size to enable them to streamline operations and expand their mission. The programme is built upon three pillars that ensure non-profits all around the world are able to implement, use and accelerate their impact. With NetSuite, this happens throughout the customer lifecycle. The three pillars are:
- Suite Donation: Providing a base donation for all non-profits as well as activation of the NetSuite solution designed for this sector.
- Suite Pro Bono: Non-profit clients are partnered with NetSuite employees to tackle challenges when they arise, ensuring NetSuite is used with maximum efficacy.
- Suite Capacity: Leveraging NetSuite’s community, educational and resource offerings to foster organisational capacity.
A Closer Look at Suite Donation
All non-profits, regardless of size, qualify for a base donation of NetSuite’s non-profit solution with no cost to activate. The standard donation is sufficient to power a small organisation’s financial management operations and there is no recurring cost involved.
Looking beyond that base donation, there are other solutions available for Social Impact organisations. Things like grant accounting, non-profit budgeting, SORP reporting and more can be accessed. There is special Social Impact pricing for every solution, providing a substantial discount from NetSuite’s standard pricing.

Why NetSuite Non-Profit?
NetSuite continues to expand the NetSuite Social Impact programme. Introduced in 2006, this programme has helped more than 1,500 non-profits and donated over $100 million in software. Recently, the Pro Bono programme has been expanded, further enhancing the support offered to non-profits.
The NetSuite Pro Bono programme is an initiative that brings in passionate employees, customers and partners from the NetSuite community. Their skills and resources are pooled to help enable Social Impact customers to get the most out of NetSuite for their organisations.
Currently, NetSuite is prioritising non-profits whose work takes place on the frontlines in supporting people impacted by current events. There are many opportunities for eligible non-profits customers, such as:
- Quarterly pro bono projects.
- The annual Hackathon 4Good event.
- The Buildathon 4Good.
Getting Help From Suite Capacity
Eligible non-profits can also take advantage of the opportunity to implement leading practices across all areas of their organisations. This includes things like the planning and management of technology, financial management and outcomes management (that includes operational issues that relate to things outside NetSuite software).
The Suite Capacity service begins with a committed team that engages with Social Impact customers. The goal is to help them plot a route towards the implementation of leading practices. The objective of Suite Capacity consists of the following:
- Offer support to non-profit customers as they onboard.
- Ensure they are getting the most out of NetSuite for maximum impact.
- Deliver community and learning opportunities throughout the user journey.
- Social Impact customers are able to apply to take part in learning cohorts and take part
- in online learning. The focus is on the building of skills, confidence and success. There is also the opportunity to share the knowledge of best practices with other Social Impact organisations by being active in the Online Community.
