đź”® Bardeen for Nonprofits
Your nonprofit team spends countless hours on repetitive browser tasks—researching donors, copying data from websites to spreadsheets, enriching contact information, and manually entering information across multiple tabs. Bardeen is a browser-based AI automation tool that eliminates these time sinks with no-code workflows. Simply describe what you want to automate, and Bardeen's AI builds the workflow for you. From web scraping to data enrichment across 200+ apps, reclaim 15+ hours per week for mission-critical work.
What It Does
Picture this: you're researching potential board members on LinkedIn, manually copying their information into a spreadsheet, then enriching each contact with email addresses from multiple sources, and finally adding them to your CRM. This process takes 5-10 minutes per contact. With 50 prospects, that's over 8 hours of mind-numbing copy-paste work.
Bardeen transforms browser-based busywork into automated workflows. It's a browser extension that watches what you do on websites—scraping data, filling forms, clicking buttons, moving information between tabs—and turns those actions into reusable automations. The Magic Box feature uses AI to understand natural language commands like "extract all donor names and emails from this page and add them to my Google Sheet," then builds the automation for you.
Unlike cloud-based automation tools like Zapier that connect apps in the background, Bardeen specializes in browser-based automation. It excels at tasks like web scraping (extracting data from websites), data enrichment (finding email addresses and contact information), lead research (gathering information from LinkedIn, websites, and databases), and automating repetitive browser workflows. Bardeen integrates with 200+ apps including CRMs (Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive), spreadsheets (Google Sheets, Airtable), communication tools (Slack, Notion), and more.
The platform offers pre-built "playbooks" for common tasks—one-click automations for activities like saving LinkedIn profiles to your CRM, extracting meeting notes from video calls, or scraping event attendee lists. You can also build custom workflows with conditional logic, loops, and multi-step processes. For nonprofits, this means automating donor research, grant prospect identification, volunteer coordination, social media monitoring, event data collection, and countless other browser-based tasks that currently eat up staff time.
Best For
Organization Size
Small to mid-sized nonprofits (3-50 staff) with team members comfortable learning new technology. Best for organizations doing regular research, data collection, or lead generation work where browser-based automation can create significant time savings. The free tier makes it accessible to the smallest grassroots organizations.
Primary Use Cases
Ideal Team Profile
Organizations with at least one tech-comfortable staff member willing to invest 5-10 hours learning automation. Teams doing repetitive browser-based work (research, data collection, web scraping) where automation can provide immediate ROI. Works best when you have specific, repeated workflows rather than one-off tasks.

Real-World Nonprofit Use Case
Consider a youth development nonprofit preparing for their annual gala. The development team needs to research and reach out to 200 potential corporate sponsors. Traditionally, this process involves manually visiting each company's website, finding executive contacts on LinkedIn, enriching their email addresses through various databases, researching their company's philanthropic priorities, and finally logging everything into the CRM. For 200 prospects, this could take 40+ hours of staff time.
With Bardeen, the process transforms: The team starts with a list of company names in a Google Sheet. They create a Bardeen playbook that automatically visits each company's LinkedIn page, extracts the CEO and VP of Community Relations contacts, enriches their email addresses, scrapes the company's "Community" or "Giving" page for philanthropic priorities, and populates all this information back into Google Sheets—enriched with contact details, company size, industry, and giving focus. The entire process runs in the background while staff work on crafting personalized outreach messages.
Once the research is complete, another Bardeen automation syncs the qualified prospects (filtered by AI based on alignment with the nonprofit's mission) into the CRM, assigns them to gift officers, and creates follow-up tasks. What previously took 40 hours of manual research now takes 2-3 hours—mostly spent setting up the automation and reviewing results. The development team reclaims 35+ hours to focus on relationship building, compelling storytelling, and donor stewardship. This automation becomes a reusable asset, running monthly to identify new corporate partnership prospects year-round.
Beyond corporate sponsorships, the nonprofit applies similar workflows to: identifying individual major gift prospects from LinkedIn alumni networks, collecting grant opportunities from foundation websites and scoring them by fit, scraping event attendee lists from competitor organizations to identify potential volunteers, and monitoring social media for brand mentions and community conversations relevant to their programs. Each automation compounds time savings, allowing the small development team to operate with the efficiency of a much larger organization.

Nonprofit Discount & Special Offers
No Public Nonprofit Discount Available
Based on current research (January 2026), Bardeen does not publicly advertise a nonprofit discount program. However, this doesn't mean options aren't available:
Free Tier is Generous
The permanently free tier with 100 credits/month is available to all nonprofits without application. This is sufficient for testing and light automation use.
Contact Sales Directly
Reach out to Bardeen's sales team through their website to inquire about nonprofit pricing. Many SaaS companies offer unpublished discounts to 501(c)(3) organizations upon request.
Annual Billing Saves 20%
Premium plans are $40/month with annual billing versus $50/month monthly—a 20% discount available to all users.
Shared Team Accounts

Our Recommendation: Start with the free tier to test Bardeen's value for your workflows. If it saves significant time, upgrade to Basic ($10/month) for a single user or Premium ($40/month annual) for teams. Contact Bardeen's sales team before upgrading to ask about nonprofit pricing—have your 501(c)(3) documentation ready. Even without a formal discount, Bardeen's pricing is competitive for the time savings it delivers.
Learning Curve
Beginner-Friendly for Basic Tasks, Intermediate-Advanced for Complex Workflows
What Makes It Easier
- AI Magic Box: Natural language interface lets you describe automations in plain English—"extract these LinkedIn profiles to Google Sheets"—and Bardeen builds the workflow. This dramatically lowers the barrier for beginners.
- Pre-Built Playbooks: 1,000+ ready-made templates for common tasks mean you can start automating immediately without building from scratch. Just customize parameters.
- Visual Interface: Point-and-click scraper builder shows exactly what data you're capturing. No need to understand HTML or CSS selectors.
- Browser-Based: Works directly in your browser—no separate app to learn. If you can browse websites, you can use basic Bardeen features.
What Makes It Harder
- Advanced Workflows: Building automations with conditions, loops, and complex logic has a steep learning curve. Reviewers mention needing YouTube tutorials to master these features.
- Credit System: Understanding how credits are consumed across different operations can be confusing initially. You'll need to monitor usage to avoid unexpected limitations.
- Onboarding: User reviews indicate onboarding isn't as smooth as some competitors. Expect some trial and error when getting started.
- Technical Concepts: While no coding is required, understanding basic logic (if/then statements, data filtering, iteration) helps significantly for advanced use.
Time Investment
Basic Proficiency (Using Pre-Built Playbooks): 30-60 minutes to understand the interface, install the browser extension, and run your first automation from the template library.
Intermediate Skills (Custom Scrapers & Simple Workflows): 2-3 hours to build custom web scrapers, create simple multi-step automations, and connect to your key tools (CRM, spreadsheets).
Advanced Mastery (Complex Logic & Conditions): 5-10 hours to master routers, iterators, conditional logic, and error handling. Expect to use YouTube tutorials and community resources.
Bottom Line: If you're tech-savvy and willing to invest a few hours learning, Bardeen can be a huge productivity booster. The AI Command Bar makes basic tasks accessible to beginners, while the platform's full power requires moderate technical comfort. Start with pre-built playbooks, gradually build custom workflows, and lean on community resources for advanced features. The time investment pays off quickly—users report saving 15+ hours per week once automations are in place.

Platform Requirements & Browser Compatibility
Bardeen works as a browser extension, requiring a compatible web browser and active internet connection. Unlike cloud-based automation tools, Bardeen runs in your browser, meaning automations execute while you have browser tabs open.
System Requirements:
- Browsers: Chrome, Edge, or any Chromium-based browser
- Operating System: Windows, macOS, or Linux (browser-based)
- Internet: Stable connection required for all operations
- Resources: Adequate RAM for multiple browser tabs (8GB+ recommended)
Data Portability:
- Export automations and playbooks to share with team
- Scraped data exports to CSV, Google Sheets, or Airtable
- No vendor lock-in—data stays in your chosen platforms
- Automations can be rebuilt if you switch tools
Important Note: Because Bardeen runs in your browser, automations require browser tabs to remain open. For background automation that runs without browser interaction, consider cloud-based alternatives like Zapier or Make. However, Bardeen's browser-based approach is ideal for web scraping and data extraction tasks that cloud tools can't handle effectively.
Honest Assessment: Pros & Cons
Strengths
- Powerful Web Scraping
Best-in-class no-code web scraping for extracting data from websites—capabilities that cloud automation tools can't match.
- Generous Free Tier
Permanent free tier with 100 credits/month—no credit card required. Ideal for testing and small-scale automation.
- AI Command Bar
Natural language interface dramatically lowers learning curve for basic tasks. Describe what you want, AI builds it.
- Massive Time Savings
Users report saving 15+ hours per week on research, data entry, and repetitive browser tasks once automations are set up.
- Contact Enrichment
Built-in email finding and contact enrichment—valuable for donor research and outreach campaigns.
- Browser-Based Simplicity
No separate app to learn—works directly in your browser where you already spend time researching and working.
- Pre-Built Playbooks
1,000+ ready-made templates let you start automating immediately without building workflows from scratch.
Limitations
- Steep Learning Curve for Advanced Features
While basic tasks are easy, complex workflows with conditions and loops require significant time investment and external tutorials.
- Confusing Credit System
Credit-based pricing can be hard to predict. Heavy usage (especially enrichment at 3 credits/row) burns through credits quickly.
- Requires Browser Tabs Open
Unlike cloud automation tools, Bardeen needs your browser running. Not ideal for background automations that run on schedules.
- Smaller Integration Library
200+ integrations is good, but less than Zapier's 7,000+. May not support all niche nonprofit tools.
- Resource Intensive
Large web scraping jobs can slow down your browser and consume significant system resources.
- Onboarding Could Be Smoother
User reviews mention needing YouTube tutorials to get started effectively—onboarding experience has room for improvement.
- No Public Nonprofit Discount
Unlike some competitors, Bardeen doesn't advertise nonprofit-specific pricing (though you can inquire with sales).
The Verdict: Bardeen excels at browser-based automation—especially web scraping, data enrichment, and research tasks that cloud automation tools struggle with. The generous free tier and powerful AI features make it accessible to nonprofits of all sizes. However, expect a learning curve for advanced features, and be prepared for the credit system to require some trial-and-error to optimize. If your nonprofit does regular donor research, grant prospecting, or data collection from websites, Bardeen's time savings outweigh its limitations. For simpler app-to-app automation without scraping needs, consider easier alternatives like Zapier.
Alternatives to Consider
Bardeen is powerful for browser automation and web scraping, but other tools might better suit your nonprofit's needs depending on your use case, technical capacity, and budget.
Zapier
Best for simpler automations without web scraping needs
Zapier is the most beginner-friendly automation platform with 7,000+ app integrations—far more than Bardeen's 200+. It excels at connecting cloud apps (CRM to email, donations to spreadsheets) but lacks Bardeen's web scraping capabilities.
Choose Zapier if you:
- • Need simple app-to-app automation
- • Want the easiest learning curve
- • Require extensive integration options
- • Don't need web scraping or data extraction
Choose Bardeen if you:
- • Need to scrape data from websites
- • Want contact enrichment features
- • Prefer browser-based automation
- • Have a tighter budget (better free tier)
Pricing: Zapier free tier offers 100 tasks/month (vs. Bardeen's 100 credits). Paid plans start at $20/month. Zapier offers nonprofit discounts (20% off) but is generally more expensive than Bardeen for equivalent usage.
Make (Integromat)
Best for complex, multi-step workflows with visual logic
Make offers more powerful workflow capabilities than Bardeen with visual scenario building, routers, and iterators. It's cloud-based (unlike Bardeen's browser-based approach) and handles complex multi-app workflows better. However, it has a steeper learning curve and doesn't focus on web scraping.
Choose Make if you:
- • Need complex, multi-step automations
- • Want visual workflow building
- • Require cloud-based (not browser) automation
- • Have moderate technical comfort
Choose Bardeen if you:
- • Focus on web scraping and data extraction
- • Need natural language AI automation
- • Want contact enrichment built-in
- • Prefer browser-based simplicity
Pricing: Make's free tier offers 1,000 operations/month. Paid plans start at $9/month. Make is generally more cost-effective than Bardeen for heavy automation users, but lacks Bardeen's scraping and enrichment focus.
n8n
Best for tech-savvy nonprofits wanting open-source control
n8n is an open-source workflow automation platform with 500+ integrations and unlimited free executions when self-hosted. It offers maximum flexibility and data control but requires technical expertise to set up and maintain. Like Make, it's cloud-based and doesn't specialize in web scraping.
Choose n8n if you:
- • Have technical staff to self-host
- • Want unlimited free automation
- • Need complete data control and privacy
- • Prefer open-source solutions
Choose Bardeen if you:
- • Don't have technical capacity for self-hosting
- • Need web scraping and enrichment
- • Want faster setup with no server management
- • Prefer SaaS simplicity over open source
Pricing: n8n is free when self-hosted (unlimited executions). Cloud version starts at €20/month. Best value for tech-savvy nonprofits, but requires server setup and maintenance expertise.
Which Should You Choose? If your primary need is web scraping, donor research, or data enrichment, Bardeen is your best bet—no competitor offers comparable browser automation and scraping features in a no-code package. For traditional app-to-app automation without scraping, Zapier (simplest), Make (most powerful), or n8n (open-source) might be better fits. Many nonprofits use Bardeen alongside another automation tool: Bardeen for research and data collection, Zapier/Make for connecting apps.

Pro Tip: Start with High-Impact, Repetitive Tasks
Don't try to automate everything at once. Identify your most time-consuming repetitive browser tasks—donor research, grant prospecting, data entry from web forms—and automate those first. Measure the time savings (e.g., "This task took 8 hours manually, now takes 1 hour with Bardeen") to build your business case for expanding automation across the organization.
Most nonprofits see ROI within the first month of using Bardeen, even on the free tier. The key is choosing the right tasks to automate: high-volume, highly repetitive, browser-based work where the time savings are immediate and measurable.
