Why tryceratop
tryceratop was built by event planners and nonprofit volunteers who've lived through the messy handoffs and the spreadsheet chaos firsthand. Too much institutional knowledge walks out the door the moment someone moves on. Your organization's memory shouldn't depend on who's still around. And every budget call deserves real numbers behind it, not a guess.
Funding
Allocate every dollar, by percent or fixed amount
Split a funder's commitment across events without spreadsheets losing track of what's left. Every allocation rolls up to a live total per funder, per event.
Budget
Planned vs. actual, live
Finance sees allocated, spent, and remaining the moment an expense is logged, not at month-end reconciliation.
Run of show
Ownership on every time slot
Assign a collaborator to each slot. They get notified the moment it happens. Everyone knows who owns what, and when.

Task lists that don't start from zero
Define your standard checklist once. Every new event gets it automatically, so nothing falls through the cracks on event fourteen either.
Funder relationships
Every funder's whole story, not just their check
Contacts, agreements, a communication log, and every contract or certificate they've sent — all on one page instead of scattered across email and shared drives.

Analytics, built in
From funding to cost-per-head, automatically
Every template inherits the numbers behind it, so a cost-per-attendee that's drifting high gets caught before the event, not after.
