Disability Charities
 

Software that helps disability charities to maximised funding and deliver service efficiently

  • Create a centralised, secure store of data from which to inform and advise appropriately
  • Manage grant applications to maximise every funding opportunity
  • Engage and develop a network of advocates for your cause
  • Increase awareness with relevant communications that send the right message to the right recipient
  • Securely record sensitive information about the people you help and their families


Where you provide advice on issues such as benefits, legislation and living with a condition, having a centralised store of information that can be easily updated, increases your internal efficiency and ensures requests are met appropriately and promptly. It also creates a wealth of information from which to support those championing your cause, who may be based out in the regions.

You can help everyone in your team to provide integrated service by being able to record centrally how someone has been helped, the outcomes of any appointments, and whether they are a person living with the condition, a family member, or a professional. However, this sensitive information must be safeguarded with different levels of authorised access.

Grant applications can be the lifeblood of a disability charity, yet they are very time-consuming and if a deadline is missed, your funding and viability are jeopardised. Grants must be submitted in a timely manner without overloading your team. Being able to record information about your achievements demonstrates that previous funding has been put to good use. Being able to uncover and put a monetary value to the work done by your volunteers can give weight to your applications for matched funding. Even recording unsuccessful applications will help to avoid expending time on further applications of a similar nature.

We’re able to help you to

  • Collect, store and maintain information centrally

    • Increase efficiency by entering and updating data once
    • Build relationships by automating and personalising correspondence
    • Avoid wastage by sending a single mailing to one household (unless requested otherwise)
     
  • Manage grant applications

    • Reduce the time and effort involved in submitting and monitoring grant applications
    • Receive alerts when submission and mid-grant deadlines are pending, so no opportunity is missed
    • Supply post-grant monitoring information to comply with the terms of a contract
    • Acquire and store information to support your case for matched funding
     
  • Create an online community

    • Engage more closely with your advocates and other ‘flag-wavers’ who may be based remotely
    • Offer them privileged access to content about your organisation
    • Host the conversation about your work with online forums
    • Consult service users by canvassing their views through surveys and opinion polls
     
  • Segment your database to target communications

    • Be seen to operate efficiently by avoiding the wastage of unwanted mailings
    • Maximise limited budgets by targeting communications where they can bring best return
    • Capture interest and encourage involvement by tailoring the content and medium to the recipient’s needs and preferences
    • Save money and resources by using electronic communications wherever possible, which may also be more appropriate for some recipients
     
  • Secure confidential information while enabling your team to do their jobs

    • Protect the information you acquire on service users and advocates
    • Safeguard sensitive information not only against unapproved on-screen viewing, but against being included in reports
