Skilled volunteers will provide a current state assessment and software selection for United Way of Greater Charlotte in support of their search for a new grant management system.
United Way of Greater Charlotte (UWGC) is on a mission to find fresh solutions to solve economic mobility and racial inequity by working hand in hand with neighborhoods and grassroots nonprofits. Within their community legacy, they’ve broken down barriers to create uniquely impactful programs that help lift people out of poverty.
UWGC reached out to Apparo for assistance with their goal of selecting a new software system that will support their grant making and tracking efforts. This organization currently utilizes the e-CImpact application to manage nonprofit grants. This system is designed for grant makers with relatively low turnover among their funded agencies from year to year. United Way of Greater Charlotte brings in a significant number of new agencies each year, many of which are grassroots organizations. These organizations find the account set-up process cumbersome through the current system. UWGC hopes to find a system that better supports their framework and their nonprofit grantees.
Apparo has matched United Way of Greater Charlotte with two skilled volunteers. These volunteers will first review the current software system being used for creating and tracking grants. Following the assessment of their current state, volunteers will conduct marketplace research and discuss requirements with UWGC for a new software selection that best meets the needs of the organization.
