Keep your CRM. Add the tools the field needs.
You don't need to switch off your current CRM to give your stewards ecological monitoring, your members a real fundraising experience, or your board the accreditation reports they're asking for. Custodia layers in alongside.
Fundraising tools
Five built-in rails — Sponsor-a-Preserve, threshold campaigns, almanac, watercolor posters, Wonder Prints.
Voices of This Place
Birds, trees, communities — auto-populated from public datasets, narrated for your watershed.
Environmental Review Watch
Notice projects, permits, and comment windows being filed near your preserves — connected to migration, habitat, and stewardship memory.
Reporting Studio
Annual monitoring, accreditation support, grant reports, board briefs, and impact reports — generated from the work you already document.
Five fundraising rails most CRMs don't have.
All included. No per-transaction add-ons, no separate platform. Custodia handles checkout, Stripe Connect, fulfillment, and the donor's receipt.
Sponsor-a-Preserve
Recurring memberships tied to specific places — donors sponsor a marsh, a meadow, a stretch of river.
Threshold campaigns
Campaigns that activate when an ecological signal is crossed — a missing species, a baseflow line.
Annual Almanac
A printed seasonal book your donors actually want. Lulu print-on-demand, no inventory.
Watercolor posters
Printable broadsides for events, advocacy, and member gifts — drawn from your sites.
Wonder Prints
Beautiful photographic prints of moments from your land — drop-shipped from Printful.
Voices of This Place.
eBird, iNaturalist, GBIF, USGS, NOAA, FIRMS — Custodia listens to what's happening on your land and turns it into a quiet narrative. Birds returning, trees flowering, a missing keystone species. Your CRM doesn't do this. Nothing else does.
- Auto-populated species inventories per site
- Trees, plants, fungi — the whole community, not just charismatic megafauna
- A weekly Stewardship Brief written from the land's own data
"This week, the eastern phoebes returned to the marsh — three days earlier than last year. The vernal pool at site B is at full depth. Two new sedges were observed on the river bend."
— Sample Stewardship Brief
Notice what's being proposed around the land.
Permits, easements, transmission lines, pipelines, hearings, comment windows — most of this moves in technical language and distant systems your CRM was never built to watch. Custodia pulls nearby review activity in alongside your sites and reads it against the things that matter: bird migration windows, water sensitivity, and the long-held local knowledge your stewards already hold.
- Nearby projects + open comment windows on your Watchtower
- Migration overlay so seasonal sensitivity is visible at a glance
- Comment Prep Kit drawn from your stewardship memory and NRI
Sample Watchtower card
Transmission line re-route — 2.4 mi from Willow Creek Preserve
Comment window open through May 18. Overlaps spring migration for cerulean warbler (recorded on-site, 2022 + 2024). Two prior steward notes mention this corridor.
From field visit to finished report.
Reporting Studio is included in Companion Mode. Keep your current system of record — Custodia adds the intelligence and reporting layer, drawing on connected data, imported records, and local field notes.
Accreditation support
Evidence packets generated from your live stewardship record — not assembled by hand the week before review.
Monitoring & inspection
Annual easement monitoring and fee-property inspection reports flow from field visits, photos, and findings already on file.
Grant, board & impact
Grant narratives, board stewardship briefs, and annual impact reports — drafted from the work itself, not from scratch.
Keep your records in Dropbox or Drive. Add intelligence on top.
Companion Mode works with the systems you already use — including your cloud file archives. Connect existing repositories and Custodia organizes records, supports report generation, and surfaces readiness signals — without requiring a full migration.
Your records do not have to be perfectly migrated before they become useful.

- Feed accreditation & defense readiness
A weekly story. A yearly book.
The Wonder feed surfaces what's happening on your land right now — for stewards in the field and for the page your members visit. The Almanac binds the year into something printed and kept.
Your CRM stays. Custodia layers on.
Your members, donors, and easements stay where they are. Custodia adds the intelligence layer your current CRM was never built for — Voices, NRI, Review Watch, and Reporting Studio — and quietly hands data back when it's useful (CSVs, exports, REST API, webhooks).
Companion Mode includes the same Review Watch and Reporting Studio that Full Mode does. When you're ready to consolidate operations too, the door is open — but you don't have to walk through it to use them.
Add Custodia alongside.
Set up takes an afternoon. No data migration required.
