The Client Profile

The client is an Oakland-based statewide civic and social organization fighting to improve the lives of communities of color, immigrants, low-income, LGBTQ, and other marginalized communities. They are committed to the movement for racial and educational justice and focus primarily on youth leadership, public education, and community power.

The Challenge

Lack of an Integrated Solution to Manage Donation and Grant-Related Information

The client depends on donations and grants from external parties such as foundations for running their racial and educational justice initiatives. In order to ensure they execute their operations smoothly, they need to track prospective and awarded grants, communicate and follow up with prospects and existing foundations for new grants, manage donations received through their web portal, and manage account receivables for the next 5 years, and a lot more. The data relating to all these activities were distributed across multiple spreadsheets. They needed an integrated solution that could streamline their internal processes and bring in more efficiency, accessibility and transparency.

challenges

Multiple sources of truth resulting in duplicate work and inconsistencies

Repetitive manual work due to inefficient allocation of resources
