Secure forms for organizations doing good
SimplyForms gives your nonprofit its own private, encrypted forms workspace at no cost. Collect sign-ups, intake details and applications safely, without paying per response or wondering where the data ends up.
No credit card, no ads, no response limits.
Is this your situation?
- Paper forms get typed into spreadsheets by hand, and mistakes creep in
- You pay every month for a form tool, or hit a response limit right when it matters
- You collect sensitive details like addresses, health or family information, and aren't sure who can see them
- Free tools can't do the math or “only ask this if…” logic your forms need
- There's no IT person to set up or look after anything
SimplyForms was built for exactly this.
We host a professional, open-source form platform for you, keep it updated and backed up, and give you your own private copy that no other organization shares.
You build the forms. We handle the servers, security and maintenance, for free.
Real forms, not just surveys
Built on Form.io, a professional, open-source drag-and-drop form builder, set up and looked after for you.
Calculations & formulas
Totals, fees, scores and eligibility worked out live as people fill in the form.
Conditional questions
Show, hide or require questions based on earlier answers, so every form stays short and relevant.
Lookups between forms
Fill dropdowns from your own lists, like programs, locations or volunteers, kept up to date in one place.
Multi-page & repeating sections
Step-by-step applications, plus “add another” rows for family members, items or attendees.
Share or embed anywhere
Send a link, or place forms right on your own website. They work on phones too.
Your data, your way
View submissions online or export them to a spreadsheet whenever you need.
Built to keep people's information safe
The people you serve trust you with their details. Here's how we protect them.
🏠 A private workspace for every organization
Your own form server and your own database login. Your data is never mixed with another organization's.
🔐 Encrypted everywhere
HTTPS for every connection, and the database is encrypted on disk with AES-256.
💾 Encrypted nightly backups
Each organization is backed up separately, and backups are locked with keys kept off the server.
🙅 No ads, no selling, no tracking
We don't sell, share or mine your data. It's only there to serve your mission.
🔓 No lock-in
Form.io is open source. Export your forms and submissions anytime and take them with you.
