Welcoming Velora to The Nonprofit Hive.
We’re proud to welcome Velora as a Strategic Ecosystem Partner helping support the free peer connection infrastructure behind The Nonprofit Hive.
Nonprofit work is human. The systems behind it matter too.
Every week, we see nonprofit professionals carrying donor relationships, campaigns, grant tracking, reporting, board updates, team capacity, and the quiet pressure of keeping it all connected.
Velora sits close to that reality. Their platform brings together fundraising, donor management, fund accounting, and grant management so nonprofits can spend less time wrangling disconnected tools and more time doing the work that matters.
Just as importantly, this partnership is rooted in the same values that make The Hive work: trust, generosity, usefulness, and respect for the people doing the work.
“We are not building a crowded sponsor marketplace. We are building a values-aligned partner ecosystem.”
Partnerships like this help keep The Hive free, thoughtful, and growing with care.
Free does not mean effortless. Behind every Hive Chat is technology, matching, communication, community stewardship, support, and a whole lot of coordination.
Free peer connection
Velora’s support helps us continue offering Hive Chats as a free space for nonprofit professionals to find each other.
More room to build
This partnership gives our small team more breathing room to steward the community and test new formats with care.
Deeper sector conversations
Together, we’ll create space for practical conversations about stewardship, systems, capacity, and the work behind the mission.
The Nonprofit Operations Platform
Velora helps nonprofits spend less time wrangling separate tools and more time doing the work that matters.
Within Velora, Raisely supports online fundraising, Keela helps teams manage donor relationships, and Aplos handles fund accounting. Together, they give nonprofits one connected system to raise funds, nurture donors, and track every dollar.
They understand that connected systems can support more human work.
Nonprofit teams do not need more noise. They need tools, relationships, and infrastructure that make the work clearer, kinder, and more sustainable.
We love Velora because they are helping nonprofit teams bring fundraising, donor relationships, fund accounting, and grants into one clearer system, so teams can spend less time wrangling tools and more time moving the mission forward.
Meet Velora through conversation.
We love that one of the first ways Hivers will meet Velora is through Kim’s community voice and the stories behind nonprofit work.
Nonprofit Diaries creates space for the stories that do not always make the newsletter. It is a natural first touchpoint for this partnership because it feels human, curious, and close to the real work of the sector.
This partnership is part of a bigger shift for The Hive.
As The Hive grows, we are thinking more intentionally about what it takes to keep this community free, thoughtful, and sustainable for the long term.
Our hope is to build a small circle of Strategic Ecosystem Partners across different areas of nonprofit work. Partners who each bring something useful and distinct to the community. Partners who understand that supporting the sector is not just about visibility, but about contribution.
Keep connection free
Help nonprofit professionals access meaningful peer connection without adding another cost or barrier.
Build with more care

We’re grateful, excited, and ready to build what comes next.
Velora’s support helps us keep building the connection infrastructure behind a more connected nonprofit sector.
We are proud to welcome Velora as a Strategic Ecosystem Partner and grateful for their investment in the people doing the work.
