What Abila does

Abila, founded in 1982 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, develops fund accounting and fundraising software for nonprofit organizations, government entities, municipalities, and K-12 schools across North America. The company is now operated as a brand within Momentive Software Holdco, LLC, alongside Community Brands, and its products have been consolidated under the MIP Accounting label following the migration of Abila.com to MIP.com in 2021.

The core platform is offered in two deployment modes — MIP Cloud (SaaS) and MIP On-Premise — and is built around a purpose-built fund accounting engine that tracks unlimited funds within a single system. A modular architecture extends the base with core accounting modules (general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, bank reconciliation), budget management, nonprofit reporting (including Form 990 and grant reporting), payroll and human resource management, and procurement. The fundraising suite spans Millennium, Fundraising 50, and the GiveSmart event-based platform, integrating donor management and event fundraising into the broader accounting workflow.

Abila generates revenue primarily through subscription-based licensing of its cloud and on-premise software, sold on annual or multi-year contracts via a consultative enterprise field-sales motion with quote-based pricing and no publicly disclosed list rates. The company employs 251–500 people and reaches customers through direct sales, demos, content marketing, webinars, research studies, training services, and a CommunityBrands user forum. It does not disclose revenue, funding, or headcount trends, and there is no indication of disclosed AI/ML capabilities in its product surface.

Partnerships

One partnership is on record.

• Momentive SoftwarecoreOthersAbila was acquired and absorbed into Momentive Software (CommunityBrands). The Abila.com website has been migrated to MIP.com.

This is a corporate consolidation rather than a traditional partnership.

Direct peers

• Blackbaud: Blackbaud is the largest software provider dedicated to the social good sector, offering Financial Edge NXT (fund accounting) plus a broad suite of fundraising, CRM, and constituent management solutions. It directly competes with MIP/Abila across nonprofit fund accounting, K-12, and fundraising workflows.
• Sage Intacct: Sage Intacct is a leading cloud-native financial management platform with a strong nonprofit and government vertical practice, including fund accounting, grant tracking, and dimensional reporting. It competes head-to-head with MIP Cloud for mid-market and enterprise nonprofit/government customers.
• Aplos: Aplos provides cloud-based fund accounting software purpose-built for nonprofits and churches, including fund tracking, donation management, and Form 990 reporting. It targets smaller and mid-sized nonprofits — a core customer segment of MIP/Abila — making it a direct competitor.
• Bonterra: Bonterra (combining Social Solutions, Network for Good, and other brands) provides software for nonprofits and the public sector, including grants management, case management, and fund accounting-adjacent financial workflows. It overlaps with MIP in serving mission-driven and government-adjacent organizations.

Broad incumbents

• Oracle NetSuite: NetSuite is a broad cloud ERP/financials suite used by some nonprofits, government-adjacent entities, and grant-funded organizations. While not purpose-built for fund accounting, it competes for the same enterprise software budget at larger organizations considering general-purpose ERP.
• Microsoft Dynamics 365: Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management (including the heritage Serenic nonprofit functionality) competes for government, K-12, and larger nonprofit financial management opportunities. It is a broad incumbent whose nonprofit/government footprint overlaps with MIP's.
• Intuit QuickBooks: QuickBooks Online is widely adopted by smaller nonprofits and community organizations for basic accounting and reporting. While it lacks true fund accounting depth, it competes aggressively on price and ease-of-use for the small nonprofit segment.
• SAP Business One: SAP Business One is a broad ERP solution used by some mid-market nonprofit and public-sector-adjacent organizations for financials and procurement. It competes indirectly with MIP for larger enterprise deals where a general ERP is preferred over a vertical-specialist system.
• Workday: Workday Financial Management and Workday Adaptive Planning are increasingly adopted by larger nonprofits, universities, and government-adjacent organizations. It competes with MIP for enterprise-level financial management and planning deals at the upper end of the market.

Emerging players

• Givebutter: Givebutter is a modern, fast-growing fundraising and donor management platform used by nonprofits. It competes with the GiveSmart/Millennium/Fundraising 50 portion of the MIP portfolio, particularly among smaller and digitally native nonprofits.
