The Problem/Challenge:
Holding true to YWCA’s work in assisting young women, YWCA Central Alabama is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all. YWCA-AL needed an efficient process to manage Grants Acquisition, as the previous fragmented system made it difficult to track prospective grant opportunities, submission requirements, and donor relationships.
The Techbridge Solution:
Leveraging Salesforce’s NPSP, Techbridge implemented a comprehensive grants acquisition management system that tracks all prospective grant opportunities—including grantmaker account information, submission requirements (LOI, application, etc.), and contact roles—in one central dashboard.
The Impact/Outcome:
- End-to-end grants management has enhanced collaboration among the grant manager, executive team, and board.
- Accurate pipeline and closed-order reporting now inform better business decisions and renewal planning.
- The streamlined system provides clear cash-flow projections and simplifies year-over-year renewals.
