Alternatives
If you've been using the Cru-hosted MPDx, it's time to consider what you'll transition your data into. Below are a few alternatives. To share other alternatives you've found, email us at MTD@Reliant.org .
Partner Essentials, hosted by Solertiae
Solertiae is hosting MPDx (branded as Partner Essentials) and allowing individuals to opt-in for a small annual fee. This is likely the best option for those who have been using MPDx for a while and want to keep the functionality it provides.

Was there something here about "once you click this button, there's no turning back?" I remember someone mentioning this in our conference call, but don't recall the details. Although, I believe it's worth mentioning on this page. Matthew Mott or Will Lafferty can you add some details to this? Do you remember the "no turning back" point and was that in the MPDx export process or the import to Partner Essentials?and run a Reliant donor data sync.
TNT Connect
We know not everyone has used MPDx as extensively over the years. So, if you would like to maintain most of your donor data and use something with a little less functionality, we would recommend TNT Connect. While this platform is a bit older, it has the basic functions to help keep track of your donor information and data.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Free | Can be temperamental on a Mac. |
Integrate data from MPDx into this system | No app. Software only (You will download a program straight to your computer vs going to a website. This means you can only access it from the computer that has the software. You cannot access your info via a web browser.) |
Here's how to get started.

As of January 30, 2024, MPDX.org will no longer be available to non-Cru missionaries. Thankfully, Cru and TntWare worked together to provide a way for non-Cru MPDX users to export all of their data and transition it (in its entirety) to TntConnect. This includes, names, addresses, birthdays, notes, tasks, history, tags, and more. TntConnect runs on Windows, Mac, Linux and even Chromebooks. This past year, the Lord opened up a way for TntConnect to run on Mac for free again via a product called Wineskin. It's not officially supported like CrossOver is, but most users have been successful with it. TntConnect continues to be 100% FREE, and will continue to be available to any missionary with any organization. I'm passionate about providing effective tools to missionaries and helping them with such an important facet of their ministry. I believe God entrusted this to me as my calling. I believe He made me for this very purpose. As the originator and still the sole developer of TntConnect, I will never discontinue providing it to missionaries around the world as long as God allows me to do so. This is why I'm so passionate about providing prompt and helpful tech support when problems arise. All this to say: I really want you to be successful with fully funding your ministry, and I believe TntConnect can help you with this! When you're ready to make the transition back to TntConnect: Click here for instructions on how to make this transition from MPDX to TntConnect. After you make this transition, you can connect your new TntConnect database with your organization to download new gifts. Just click the “Gift Input” button on the left, select your organization, and follow the prompts. Then to check for new gifts a few days later, just click the Gift Input button again. TntConnect requires you to check for new gifts manually, which is a little different than with MPDX. This is intentional as it helps you to see the new gifts coming in each day and be a better steward of your ministry partners. If your organization is not in the list, please reach out to me and ask how you can be added. Our cloud service for making this possible is called DonorHub. Recently we cut prices on DonorHub for small organizations that use our preferred donation systems. So please check with us about pricing in case that was a concern in the past. Blessings in Christ, P.S. New this year:
This makes sharing your database with your spouse super easy with Dropbox!
