Keela is a donor and fundraising CRM built for nonprofits, combining contact management, email marketing, online donation forms, and reporting in one platform. For Moroccan NGOs, foundations, and ecosystem organizations, it can work well as a system for tracking international donors and diaspora giving in US dollars, but its receipting and default payment setup are built around US, Canadian, and Australian rules, so it is not a ready-made tool for collecting or processing donations in Moroccan dirhams.
Key features
- Donor and contact management with gift history, custom fields, and household relationships
- Email marketing with segmentation and drip campaigns built into the CRM, no separate tool needed
- Online donation forms with recurring giving support
- Donor scoring and AI-assisted giving recommendations to flag major-donor prospects
- Automated, compliance-ready tax receipts for US (IRS), Canadian (CRA), and Australian (ACNC) organizations
- Grant and volunteer management alongside the core donor database
- Board-ready reporting dashboards and a custom report builder
- Integrations with accounting software such as QuickBooks and Xero
Pricing
Keela prices its plans by contact volume rather than by user seat, and it does not offer a free trial or a free tier.
- Up to 1,000 contacts: $160 per month
- 2,501 to 5,000 contacts: $315 per month
- 7,501 to 10,000+ contacts: $430 per month
- More than 10,000 contacts: custom pricing on request
Several independent sources report a price increase, with the entry tier now higher than it was earlier in the year. Data migration is quoted separately, roughly $500 to $5,000 depending on the size and condition of existing records, and online donation processing carries a per-transaction fee of about 2.2 percent plus $0.30. Phone support requires a paid add-on tier.
Prices change over time. Figures above are based on Capterra’s Keela pricing page.

| Contact-based pricing is transparent, with no per-user fees | Cost rises with total contacts, including people who never gave |
Who it’s best for
Keela fits Moroccan-registered NGOs and foundations that already raise a meaningful share of their funding in US dollars from international foundations, diaspora donors, or cross-border partners, and that want a single system to track those relationships, send segmented updates, and produce reports for a board or a funder. Ecosystem organizations running incubator, accelerator, or grant programs will also find the grant and volunteer management features useful alongside the core donor database.
Organizations should look elsewhere if most of their fundraising happens locally in dirhams through mobile money, cash collection, or a local bank, since Keela’s automated receipting and default payment processing are not built for that. It is also a heavier commitment than many small teams need: $160 a month before migration and transaction fees is real money for an organization still building its donor base, and costs climb as the contact list grows, whether or not those contacts ever give.
How to get started
- Visit Keela’s website and identify the contact-volume tier that matches your current donor and prospect list
- Request a demo to see the donation forms, email tools, and reporting dashboard in action before committing
- Ask Keela’s team directly how tax receipting and currency display work for an organization based outside the US, Canada, and Australia
- Budget separately for data migration and per-transaction payment processing fees before signing
- Start with a smaller test migration of recent records before moving your full donor history
FAQ
Can a Morocco-based NGO use Keela? Yes, as a donor database and communication tool, especially for tracking international foundations, diaspora donors, and USD-denominated giving. Its automated tax receipting and default payment setup are built for US, Canadian, and Australian rules, so most Moroccan organizations will still need a separate local payment processor for dirham donations.
Does Keela support Arabic or French? Public information from Keela does not mention an Arabic or French interface, so bilingual or Arabic-first teams should confirm language support directly with Keela before signing up.
Is there a free trial? No. Keela’s Capterra listing does not show a free trial or free version. A demo is the way to evaluate the platform before paying.
How much does Keela cost? Plans are priced by contact volume, starting at $160 a month for up to 1,000 contacts and rising to $430 a month for 7,501 to 10,000-plus contacts, with custom pricing above that. Migration and transaction fees are billed separately.
