Setting up your tools

Setting up your tools

Step-by-step guides for setting up the tools nonprofits run on. Start here when you're standing up a new organisation, or adding a tool to one you already have.
These are Moral Fabric patterns: shared guidance any nonprofit can use and adapt, free. They cover the tool itself, not only how it shows up inside Moral Fabric.

How this connects to your Suppliers list

Once a tool is set up, track who owns it: add it on the Tools page and link it to the role that uses or manages it. It then appears on every team page that role belongs to. See  Suppliers .
