Neon CRM review and pricing

Mid-market nonprofit CRM with unified events, membership, and volunteer modules.

By Neon One, LLC · Founded 2004 · Chicago, IL · pe backed

Neon CRM is the flagship product of Neon One, a Chicago-based nonprofit software company that has consolidated multiple acquisitions (CiviCore, Rallybound, Arts People) into a single platform spanning donor management, event registration, membership management, peer-to-peer fundraising, and volunteer coordination. The combined platform is a credible mid-market alternative to Blackbaud at significantly lower cost, with particular strength among $2M-$25M nonprofits and arts/cultural organisations. Neon One took private equity investment from Boldyn Networks-adjacent investors in 2021; product velocity has been visible but consolidation work between formerly-separate products is still ongoing. Published pricing makes Neon easier to evaluate than Blackbaud or Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud.
