Problems associations and foundations know well
Member messages scattered across volunteers' phones, donor records lost in Excel, and dues tracked in a notebook.
Member messages are scattered across volunteers' phones
Questions about dues, events and membership land on different volunteers' personal phones. No one knows who replied to which message or which question went unanswered. When a volunteer leaves, the conversation history goes with them, and members feel they have no one to talk to.
Donor relationships go untracked
Who donated when, and how much? Who are we talking to about regular support? With donor records spread across Excel and old emails, you cannot build a continuous relationship, and when thank-yous and updates are skipped, donors drift away.
Dues and donation tracking get tangled in the notebook
Whose dues are paid, whose are overdue, which donation pledge was kept? When records are spread across a notebook and screenshots of receipts, someone has to compile the list of who underpaid by hand at the end of every period, and errors and forgotten items creep in.
Announcements go out the same to everyone
Event, general assembly or donation calls are sent one message at a time to the whole list. When you cannot announce only to active members or only to donors, messages to everyone become both laborious and disruptive.
Event organization is scattered
In preparing a general assembly, charity fair or seminar, it is unclear who took on what and which work is done. When tasks are discussed in WhatsApp groups, they get lost in the flow; unfinished preparation leaves volunteers in a tight spot on event day.
Member data and access risk
Member and donor information sits in shared files everyone can access, and no one knows who looked at which data. When personal data circulates this openly, both KVKK compliance and members' privacy are at risk.
What does ÖzgürKod do for associations and foundations?
On top of general CRM tools, workflows that fit your member and donor relationships.
The 7 steps of the member and donor journey
- Collect member and donor messages in a unified inbox; with round-robin assignment and quick reply templates, no question goes unanswered, and history stays even when a volunteer changes
- Divide members and donors into segments; send event, general assembly or donation calls only to the relevant group with an approved WhatsApp template and duplicate prevention
- Keep dues and donation records on the member card; track them in installments and with due dates, let AI detect receipts, and see unpaid dues in the payment collection report
- Organize events with task cards: distribute general assembly, charity fair and seminar tasks to the team with owners, checklists and due dates
- Track regular donor meetings in the pipeline: First Contact → Meeting → Pledge; overdue meetings show up in a separate view as reminders
- Set role-based permissions for KVKK: each volunteer sees only the members they are authorized for, all access is logged, and member data leaves open files
A membership, donation or volunteering request from a web form, WhatsApp or Instagram becomes a member card with a source tag.
Membership or donation details are collected with quick reply templates, and the person is placed in the right segment (member, donor, volunteer).
Dues or a donation are recorded on the member card; AI detects the photo of the receipt, and due dates and partial payments are tracked.
Regular support conversations move through the pipeline; thank-yous and updates go out on time, and the relationship stays continuous.
A general assembly, charity fair or seminar is announced to the right segment with an approved template; attendance requests are collected in the conversation flow.
Prep work is assigned to volunteers with ready-made task cards; checklist and deadline are tracked, and anything incomplete shows up as a notification.
Dues renewals and donation continuity are tracked in reports; active members and donors get periodic thank-yous and news announcements.

What should you look for when choosing a CRM for Association & foundation?
Before you decide, evaluate your candidates against these 5 criteria.
5 criteria
- A module ready for your industry. Instead of adapting a generic CRM for months Association & foundation choose a system that is ready on day one for your workflow (record fields, tags, reminder templates).
- WhatsApp and Instagram integration. In Turkey member most communication comes through WhatsApp and Instagram; a CRM that does not offer a unified inbox through the official API leaves half the work outside.
- Automatic reminders and follow-up. Appointment, payment and repeat reminders should live in the system, not in memory; every missed reminder is lost revenue.
- Turkish-language support and TL pricing. Dollar-based foreign tools carry exchange rate risk and an English-only support barrier; TL pricing and Turkish-language setup support make total cost predictable.
- Free trial and cancellation without commitment. Try it with your own data before you decide: choose a solution that requires no credit card, offers at least a 7-day free trial and can be canceled whenever you want.

What does a CRM do for associations and foundations?
An association and foundation CRM brings member and donor messages into a unified inbox, links each person to a member card, and keeps past correspondence even when volunteers change. Announcements go only to the relevant group with segment targeting and an approved template; dues and donation records are tracked with due dates, and events are organized with task cards. Member data is protected with role-based permissions and access logs in line with KVKK (Turkey's personal data protection law). So communication stays in one place, donor relationships continue, and your organization keeps running smoothly.
Is ÖzgürKod a donation collection or online payment platform?
No. ÖzgürKod is not a donation collection platform and does not offer online payment/POS functions; it does not collect dues from members or donations from donors, and it does not create payment links. What ÖzgürKod does is keep track of and record payments: it tracks dues and donations on the member card with due dates, detects the photo of the receipt the person sends with AI and attaches it to the record, and shows unpaid items in the payment collection report. The collection itself happens through your bank or your own channels; ÖzgürKod lets you track who paid what and who is overdue.
How do I send announcements to members and donors?
You divide members and donors into segments (active member, donor, volunteer, region, etc.); you send an event, general assembly or donation appeal with a Meta-approved WhatsApp template only to the relevant segment. Duplicate prevention helps you avoid sending the same person repeated messages. Individual questions such as "how do I pay my dues?" are collected in the unified inbox and answered with a quick reply template or a chatbot. So instead of laborious messages sent to everyone, the right announcement reaches the right person.
How do I track dues and donations?
Each member's dues and each donation are kept on the member card; partial payments and due date tracking are supported. AI detects the photo of the receipt the person sends, and you attach it to the record. In the payment collection report you see at a glance whose dues are paid, whose due date has passed and which donation pledge was kept; you don't have to pull together a list by hand at the end of the period. ÖzgürKod does not collect payments online; the payment happens through your own channel, and the record and tracking are kept in the panel.
How do I manage event and general assembly organization in the system?
You break general assembly, charity fair or seminar preparation into task cards: each job has an assigned volunteer, a checklist and a clear deadline. Tasks are tracked in board, list or card view; an approaching deadline reaches the person responsible as a notification, and any incomplete preparation stays visible. Invitations go to the relevant segment with an approved template, and attendance requests are collected in the conversation flow. So it's never unclear who took on what, and there are no surprises on event day.
Are member and donor data safe under KVKK?
Yes, and this matters especially for associations and foundations. Member and donor data is stored in line with KVKK (Turkey's personal data protection law) requirements; with role-based permissions, each volunteer and manager accesses only the members and records they are authorized for, and all access is logged. So personal data is no longer kept in open files everyone can look at; who accessed which data is traceable. A volunteer whose role changes or who leaves cannot take the member list with them. In bulk announcements, targeting and duplicate prevention help you avoid unwanted repeated messages to members.
Association & foundation software and CRM the same thing? Which one is ÖzgürKod?
In practice they describe the same need. Businesses usually search for "Association & foundation software", "Association & foundation software", "Association & foundation job tracking software“ or “customer management software”; “CRM” is this solution is the international name. ÖzgürKod delivers all of these names on one platform: member communication, appointments, quotes and orders, payment collection and reporting are all in one place. So whatever term you search with, the solution you reach is the same; you don’t need to set up separate software.
