For the people who keep the world running.

Every program separated. Books that stay current. Less time on the money.

You didn't volunteer to become an accountant. Holdings keeps each program in its own sub-account and your books current in nonprofit language — without the late nights.

Organize every program in its own sub-account

Give each program, campaign, and operating reserve its own sub-account so you can see exactly what's available where — no spreadsheet gymnastics.

Books that speak nonprofit

Real double-entry accounting that uses your language: Statement of Activities, Statement of Financial Position, and Net Assets — not for-profit jargon.

Auto-categorized, always current

Your accounting software suggests categories and keeps the books up to date, so you review and approve instead of starting from a blank spreadsheet.

Why Nonprofits Choose Holdings for Banking & Bookkeeping

Managing a nonprofit's finances is fundamentally different from running a business. You're accountable to donors, grantmakers, and the IRS — not just a bottom line. Every dollar must be tracked by purpose: restricted grants go to restricted programs, designated gifts stay designated, and unrestricted funds cover operations. Traditional bank accounts weren't built for this. Most force nonprofits into spreadsheet workarounds or expensive accounting software just to answer the basic question: where did the money go?

Holdings was built to solve this. Our unlimited sub-accounts let you create a dedicated bucket for every grant, campaign, or program — no spreadsheets, no reconciliation headaches. When a foundation sends a $250,000 grant for youth education, you can give that money its own sub-account from day one, so your treasurer can see exactly how much remains. Deeper fund accounting — restriction tracking inside your books and by-fund balances on your statements — is on our roadmap.

Zero Fees, More Mission

Most national banks charge nonprofits $15–30/month in maintenance fees, plus per-transaction charges after a low threshold. On a $500,000 annual budget, that's $180–360 in fees — money that should fund programs, not banking overhead. Holdings charges $0 monthly banking fees, with no minimum balance, no transaction limits, and no hidden costs. Your nonprofit keeps every dollar for its mission.

Earn Interest on Reserves

Nonprofits often hold significant cash reserves — operating funds, endowments, capital campaign savings, and grant balances awaiting deployment. At a traditional bank earning 0.01% APY, a $500,000 balance generates roughly $50/year. With Holdings' 1.75% APY on all balances, that same $500,000 earns over $8,750 annually — real revenue that strengthens your financial position without any additional fundraising effort.

Books Your CPA Will Recognize

Annual audits and Form 990 prep consume weeks of staff time at most nonprofits. Holdings' accounting software keeps real double-entry books — your Statement of Activities, Statement of Financial Position, and Net Assets, with transactions auto-categorized and current — then exports to QuickBooks, Xero, or CSV so your CPA has everything they need at year-end. No more rebuilding the books before every audit.

Team & Banking Access Controls

Nonprofit governance requires transparency without oversharing. Holdings lets you invite teammates as admins with full data and tool access, while a per-person banking access toggle controls who can see the money. The owner keeps billing and team management. Finer board and program-level roles are on our roadmap.

FDIC Protection Up to $3 Million

Large grant disbursements can push nonprofit balances well past the standard $250,000 FDIC limit. Holdings provides up to $3 million in FDIC insurance through our program bank network — protecting your organization's funds without requiring you to open accounts at multiple banks.

Whether you're a small 501(c)(3) just getting started or a large charitable organization managing millions in grants, Holdings gives you the banking infrastructure your mission deserves.

Why we built this

We started Holdings because the people doing the most good — the rescues, the food banks, the ones filling cracks no one else will — were stuck with finance built for someone else. So we built it for them. The accounting, the banking, the busywork — handled, so they can get back to what theyre actually here to do.

Frequently asked questions

Is Holdings designed specifically for nonprofits?+
Holdings works for any organization, and we build with nonprofits in mind. Today you get zero-fee banking with unlimited sub-accounts to organize money by program or purpose, real double-entry accounting software that uses nonprofit statement names, and invoicing and quotes — plus a free verified 501(c)(3) profile.
I'm a volunteer treasurer, not an accountant. Can I actually use this?+
Yes — that's exactly who we built it for. Holdings' accounting software suggests categories automatically and keeps your books current, so you review and approve instead of building everything by hand. No accounting degree required, and far fewer ways to make a mistake than a spreadsheet.
What nonprofit statements does the accounting software produce?+
When your organization is set up as a nonprofit, your books use nonprofit conventions: your Profit & Loss becomes a Statement of Activities, your Balance Sheet becomes a Statement of Financial Position, and Equity becomes Net Assets. You can export to QuickBooks, Xero, or CSV for your CPA.
Can I organize money by program or fund?+
Yes — create an unlimited number of sub-accounts in banking, one for each program, campaign, or operating reserve, so you can see each balance separately. Deeper fund accounting — restriction tracking inside your books and by-fund balances on your statements — is on our roadmap.
Can I collect donations through Holdings?+
Yes. Holdings Giving lets you create branded donation pages with unique links and QR codes in minutes — every gift lands in your donor database automatically. Donors can cover the processing fee so 100% of the intended gift reaches your cause. Standard rate 3% + $0.30; reduced 2.5% + $0.30 for nonprofits. Supporters can also open a free Giving Account — they bank with Holdings and we match 0.5% of their balance as an automatic donation to your org. See getholdings.com/giving to set up your first donation page.
How much does Holdings cost for nonprofits?+
Banking, invoicing, and quotes are free at $0/mo. Accounting software is $25/mo ($240/yr billed annually) — less than a tank of gas a month. Verified 501(c)(3)s also get a free public profile, verified badge, and directory listing.
How is my organization's money protected?+
Deposits are FDIC insured up to $3,000,000 through our program bank network. Holdings uses AES-256 encryption and maintains SOC 1 Type II certification.
Can multiple team members access the accounts?+
Yes. Invite teammates as admins with full data and tool access, and control who can see banking with a per-person banking access toggle. The owner keeps billing and team management. Finer board and program-level roles are on our roadmap.
How do I switch from our current bank?+
Open your Holdings account in minutes, then move your funds over at your own pace. We provide ACH transfer tools and your old bank's routing info makes the switch seamless.
