Fore Feathers
Technology Partnership
A comprehensive technology strategy to migrate Fore Feathers from GoDaddy to a modern, nonprofit-optimized stack — saving $145,000+/year in software value while building a platform for growth.
Fore Feathers is paying $540/year for tools that don't work.
Current GoDaddy Stack
- x $45/month — domain, hosting, email, basic CRM, commerce
- x Template website with no developer access
- x Basic CRM — no donor tracking, no automation
- x No marketing tools, no design platform, no analytics
- x No nonprofit optimizations — paying retail for everything
Proposed Stack
- + ~$10/month — domain only. Everything else is free.
- + Custom-built Astro website on Cloudflare (enterprise CDN)
- + Salesforce CRM — 10 free Enterprise licenses ($18K/yr value)
- + Google Ads ($120K/yr), Canva Pro, Slack, Zoom — all free
- + Stripe payments at nonprofit rate (2.2% vs 2.9%)
A complete technology transformation.
