Features
Mich covers the whole giving lifecycle — from the first gift to the year-end receipt — in one offline desktop app.
Home dashboard
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.
Donors
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.
Donations
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.
Pledges
Manage multi-installment pledges by frequency and status, watch outstanding balances, and send acknowledgements. Mich keeps pledges and the payments against them connected.
Pledge payments
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.
Designations & splits
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.
Campaigns
Group giving into campaigns with goals, and track progress toward each target right from the dashboard.
Appeals
Track specific appeals within your campaigns so you can see what's bringing gifts in and where to focus next.
Receipts & acknowledgements
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.
Reports & charts
Reporting with trends, pipeline, and pie charts helps you spot patterns, prepare for board meetings, and understand your giving year over year.
Private & encrypted
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.
Settings
Customize your dashboard, locale and currency, document templates, and the drop-down value lists (gift types, methods, pledge statuses, frequencies, and designations) that keep your data consistent.
Trial & licensing
Start with a 7-day free trial — no account needed. When you're ready, activate a one-time license that's good for your major version. Simple and offline.
