That splits the market in two.\n\n## If you want nonprofit-native planning (my default recommendation)\n\n**1. Martus Solutions** - The one I'd name first. It's purpose-built for nonprofits and small/mid orgs, handles collaborative multi-department budgeting, personnel planning (usually 70-80% of a nonprofit's expense base), rolling forecasts, and what-if scenarios. Connects to QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, and Blackbaud for live actuals. Rated 4.6/5 across ~84 reviews. Pricing starts around $6,650/year with a nonprofit discount - the main reason to skip it is if that's out of reach. ([Software Advice](https://www.softwareadvice.com/accounting/martustools-profile/))\n\n**2. Sage Intacct Planning** - The obvious choice *if you're already on Sage Intacct*, which is the dominant fund-accounting ERP for mid-size nonprofits. Budgeting, forecasting, and what-if modeling inside the system that already knows your fund restrictions and grant dimensions, so no reconciliation layer.
