Charities and non-profits operate on tight budgets but still need proper systems. Expensive platforms like Salesforce Non-Profit are powerful but often overkill for small organisations.
What Charities Need to Track
- Volunteer management: Contact details, availability, DBS checks, skills, and hours logged.
- Donor tracking: Donation history, Gift Aid declarations, contact preferences, and thank-you letter status.
- Programme delivery: Beneficiary records, service delivery logs, and outcome tracking for funders.
- Reporting: Grant funders require specific metrics. A dashboard that generates funder reports saves hours every quarter.
A custom-built system costs a one-time fee. No monthly subscriptions eating into your funding. No per-user charges as your volunteer base grows. The money saved goes directly to your cause.
