Duke Energy volunteers are helping Apparo with a process improvement and application selection for RSVPs for the ConnectivIT® Ball.
Apparo amplifies nonprofit impact through technology and process improvement. They create community partnerships across the nonprofit and corporate technology sectors, delivering solutions that multiply nonprofit impact.
Apparo raises funds to support their mission through various avenues, but the largest fundraiser of the year is the ConnectivIT Series, which culminates with the ConnectivIT Ball. The ball brings corporate sponsors and CXOs together to celebrate Apparo’s impact annually. The Ball hosts between 300-600 guests every year. Apparo needs a process improvement in collecting and managing RSVPs for the ball, and a recommendation for an automated software.
Currently, Apparo tracks RSVPs manually in a time-consuming manner, including back-and-forth emails to corporate partners and CXOs, tracking RSVPs in Excel spreadsheets, and manually assigning guests to their tables. The staff at Apparo requested a process improvement plan to streamline current processes, and identify a software to automate the RSVP process.
Apparo was matched two Duke Energy volunteers to address their technology challenges. This volunteer team will review their current processes, suggest process improvements, and recommend a automated application for capturing RSVPs.
