About

Cedarstone is a Certified Virtuous Solutions Partner and has served over 125 Virtuous clients with Virtuous onboarding/implementation, training, best practices, donation processing, donor database administration, donor care and donor receipting, as well as providing accounting and financial back-office services. We thoroughly understand the operational life cycle of each donation - from gift entry to monthly financials to board reporting and every step in-between for the clients we serve.

We provide a suite of integrated nonprofit back-office services including donation & development operations services, accounting services, finance/advisory services, data analytics services and organizational strategy services.

We know firsthand how much more effective nonprofit leaders can be in advancing their mission when someone comes alongside to take on the burden of the back-office operations for their organization.

With over 250 clients worldwide, ranging from small local initiatives to large international nonprofits, we are dedicated to building deep relationships and fostering trust with our clients.

Testimonials

Roxane Lopez
Senior Director of Donor Engagement and Operations, Buckner International

We couldn’t have done this without you. Your attention to our needs throughout the Virtuous implementation process was a gift. Our VP of Development commented that he has used Virtuous more in the last month than he used Raisers Edge in the last 7 years. This is huge for our organizational growth.
Jesse Wright
Director of Development, Project Rescue

Working with Cedarstone has been a massive win for our development department and our organization. Virtuous is a fantastic tool, and through our partnership with Cedarstone, we can maximize its effectiveness. It is a great feeling knowing we have a team of people we can lean on to help structure, manage, and think strategically about how we are using development data. In 3 months, we have accomplished what would have taken us several years. Plus, they are all great people.
Amy Dominguez
Finance & Operations Manager, FrankTown Open Hearts

We have been extremely happy with the work Cedarstone has done on our migration. We had one of the most complex and challenging merges, but they have been so thorough, patient, and encouraging throughout the process. I can't imagine going through this without such supportive and detailed individuals. We can't recommend Cedarstone enough!

Virtuous allowed us to communicate the right message at the right time to the right people in a way that we couldn’t with our other system. Everything had to really be done outside because it wasn’t actionable. Virtuous has completely overhauled that for us.”
