Nonprofit Cost Auditor
How it works
From purchase to savings report in seven steps. Most of the time goes into exporting your expenses.
- Buy through Stripe. $49, one time. We never see your card.
- Download the ZIP. We email you a private download link. It works for 7 days, and you can ask for a fresh one (with the latest discount library) for 12 months.
- Add it to Claude. In Claude, go to Customize > Skills, upload the ZIP and turn it on. The install guide has every click.
- Give Claude your expenses. Attach an export from QuickBooks, Xero, Aplos, your bank or your card, or paste a list of subscriptions. Twelve months is best. The file goes to your Claude account, not to us.
- Run the audit. Claude asks a few questions the file can't answer: your organization type, user counts for per-user tools, and whether any vendor already gives you nonprofit pricing. Then the skill's script does the math.
- Get your savings report: an executive summary, a savings table, the items worth investigating, possible duplicates and overlaps, and a prioritized action plan. See the sample.
- Use it again next quarter, next year, or whenever your expenses change. There's no subscription.
What the skill checks
- Nonprofit pricing: each vendor against our library of 81 programs (free plans, percentage discounts, per-user nonprofit prices, donated software through TechSoup), with conditions and check dates.
- Recurring charges: monthly, quarterly and yearly patterns, turned into a yearly cost. The report shows how each figure was worked out.
- Duplicates: the same charge twice on one day, or a vendor billing more than once in most months.
- Overlaps: two tools that do the same job (two email-marketing services, two e-signature tools).
- Data problems: rows without a vendor or amount, unreadable dates and non-dollar rows are listed, not guessed at.
What it doesn't do
- It doesn't price vendors outside the library. It lists the biggest ones so you can ask them.
- It doesn't contact vendors, apply for programs or cancel anything.
- It doesn't send your data anywhere. Claude may open vendors' public pricing pages to check a program, and nothing about your organization goes with that request.
- It isn't a certified audit or professional advice.
The formulas match our free audit's methodology. The skill includes them in full (references/savings-calculations.md).
