## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-15 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Searched around - here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd try them.
> 
> **1. Float** - where I'd start for most small/mid nonprofits. It's the best pure *cash* tool in the group: a 13-week rolling forecast driven by live QuickBooks Online/Xero data, so unpaid grant invoices and upcoming bills land on the right dates automatically. $59/mo for the entry plan, no contract, 14-day trial. Weakness: no fund/grant-restriction awareness - it forecasts the bank account, not restricted vs. unrestricted.

> 
> **2. Martus Solutions** - the best value among nonprofit-*native* budgeting/forecasting platforms. Built for nonprofits, handles department-level budget input from program managers, budget-vs-actual reporting, and grant allocations. ~$6,650/yr, well under the FP&A competition. This is the pick if the real problem is "12-month operating forecast plus board reporting," not just "will we make payroll in March."
