Top Reasons Nonprofits Choose Keela over CanadaHelps

Own Your Donor Relationships

On CanadaHelps, many gifts arrive anonymized and donor records live inside its portal. Keela gives you a full donor profile you own outright — contact history, giving history, and relationships mapped in one place, so no donor stays a stranger.

Keep More of Every Dollar

Keela's built-in payment processing runs at 2.2% + 30¢ per transaction, with no per-user fees and billing in CAD. Every point you save on processing is money that goes back into your mission.

AI-Driven Donor Insights

Keela includes Smart Ask, predictive donor scoring, and engagement insights that recommend the right amount to ask each donor. CanadaHelps records the transaction; Keela tells you what to do next.

One Platform for Fundraising + Marketing

Keela combines donor CRM, donation forms, email, SMS, automation, and reporting in one connected system. CanadaHelps is built to collect donations — everything after the gift lives somewhere else.
