Frequently Asked Questions
What is Nonprofit Compass™?
Nonprofit Compass™ is a compliance clarity and risk-visibility tool designed for U.S. nonprofit organizations. It helps leaders track governance, HR, and financial compliance obligations, see areas of risk, and generate board-ready reports.
Is this legal or accounting advice?

Who is this app designed for?
Nonprofit Compass™ is built for Executive Directors, Board Chairs, governance committee members, and operations or finance leaders—especially in small-to-mid-sized nonprofits.
How is the risk score calculated?
The risk score reflects task completion, overdue and upcoming compliance items, and the relative importance of governance and financial controls. Results are displayed as Green, Yellow, or Red to support prioritization.
Can we use this for board reporting?
Yes. The app includes board-ready PDF reports that summarize compliance status and risk areas in a clear, professional format.
Will this replace our attorney, CPA, or auditor?

How long does it take to get started?
Most organizations can create an account, set up their organization, and see their initial compliance snapshot in 10–15 minutes.
Do we need to commit long-term?
No. There are no long-term contracts. You can cancel at any time.
What is included in the Free plan?
The Free plan includes one organization, the core compliance checklist, the dashboard, and an organization risk score. No credit card is required and there is no time limit. Paid plans add PDF export, additional organizations, and expanded support.
About Pricing
Nonprofit Compass™ is priced to be accessible to nonprofits of all sizes. Pricing reflects the cost of maintaining accurate compliance frameworks, improving the product, and providing reliable support—while remaining far less expensive than hiring outside consultants just to understand risk.
