Trello

Trello is a visual task management tool that uses boards, lists and cards to help teams organise work. Non‑profits use it to track projects like event planning, volunteer coordination or grant applications with clear, flexible workflows.

Trello is one of our favourite tools of all time. If your team needs a clear, visual way to stay organised, Trello is a great place to start. It's especially helpful for volunteer-based organisations where people come and go, and you need a simple way to show who's doing what, what's coming up, and what's already done.

You can use it to manage projects, track grant applications, plan events, coordinate communications, or even just run your weekly team meetings. The card-based system makes it easy to see the status of tasks at a glance, and you can add checklists, due dates, attachments, and comments so that nothing falls through the cracks.

If your team has never used online workspaces or kanban boards before, there might be a small learning curve. But if you have someone on the team who's used it before, they can show you the ropes and you'll be hooked in no time. Trello is a great way to bring structure without the stress.
