Everything you need to manage gifts and givers

Mich covers the whole giving lifecycle — from the first gift to the year-end receipt — in one offline desktop app.

Home dashboard

See your fundraising at a glance

A customizable home screen greets you with KPI cards — total raised, donor and donation counts, average and largest gift, in-kind totals, retention, lapsed and first-time donors, pledge fulfillment, and more.

Recent-activity tables, monthly trend and pipeline charts, pie charts, and active campaigns round out the picture. Show, hide, and reorder every section to taste.

Dashboard with KPI cards and charts

Donors

One clear record per supporter

Keep contact details, mailing addresses, and the complete giving history for every donor in one place. Built-in address validation helps keep your mailing list clean, and fast search and filtering find anyone in seconds.

Donor management

Donations

Record every kind of gift

Log gifts with their type, method (cash, check with number and date, or in-kind), date, and designation. Amounts are handled with proper currency precision — no floating-point surprises — and a single gift can be split across multiple funds.

Donations

Pledges

Track commitments over time

Manage multi-installment pledges by frequency and status, watch outstanding balances, and send acknowledgements. Mich keeps pledges and the payments against them connected.

Pledges

Pledge payments

Apply payments and measure fulfillment

Record each payment against its pledge, generate a receipt, and see fulfillment and outstanding amounts update automatically — so you always know who's on track.

Pledge payments

Designations & splits

Direct gifts to the right fund

Define your own funds and designations, then split a donation or pledge across several of them. A default line auto-balances to the remainder, and Mich checks that the split always sums to the total before saving.

Designations and splits

Campaigns

Organize your fundraising drives

Group giving into campaigns with goals, and track progress toward each target right from the dashboard.

Campaigns

Appeals

Know which ask worked

Track specific appeals within your campaigns so you can see what's bringing gifts in and where to focus next.

Appeals

Receipts & acknowledgements

Personalized letters from your own templates

Generate tax receipts, pledge acknowledgements, and thank-you letters from your own Word (.docx) templates. Mail-merge tokens fill in the donor and gift details, so every document looks the way your organization wants it.

Receipts and acknowledgements

Reports & charts

Turn data into decisions

Reporting with trends, pipeline, and pie charts helps you spot patterns, prepare for board meetings, and understand your giving year over year.

Reports and charts

Private & encrypted

Your data, on your computer

Mich stores everything in a local database that is encrypted at rest with a master passphrase you choose. Nothing is sent to the cloud. One-click backup and restore keep your records safe.
