Planning, Forecasting, and Reporting Platform for Not-for-Profits
The success of any not for profit organization (NFP) rests in its ability to identify, plan, and react quickly to any changes or foreseen changes in funding. In a world where information is available instantly and from anywhere, it has never been more important for NFPs to be able to quickly integrate all of their financial and operational data and generate meaningful and accurate reports. At the same time, as your NFP managers become increasingly spread out and resource-constrained, it is crucial that you enable a quick, easy, and trusted way to collect and track data from the top all the way down to cost-centers and projects.

HR Snapshot: This provides a quick overview of various HR statistics being used within the model. As an international organization this provides great statistical insight for staffing, gender rates, and more at the click of a button. Great for executives for snapshot overview with more information if required.
Forecast vs Budget Dashboards: Provides easy to view snapshot of indirect, pure program, and management costs. At varying user levels, can view whether they are over or under budget at any given time and their projects spend based on forecast. Of course this is drillable into varying levels of detail for further analysis. Quick overview gives executives oversight internationally for varying spend types.
General Program/Project Expenses: Allow program/project heads to plan their budgets for the year, track their performance against targets and provide variance comments. In addition, as the year progresses allow them to reforecast the program/project spend based on changes in when the expense is expected to be incurred.
Contract/Professional Services: NFPs/NGOs often rely on outside professional services to help deliver projects. Funders/Donors require reporting on detailed work plans and tracking that spend. Leveraging templates designed for such arrangements, allow for selecting vendors, method of spend (variable or fixed), setting units (e.g. hours, days, etc.) and the rate (e.g. hourly, daily, etc.), as well as the description of the services being procured.
Travel Planning: The nature of the work performed by NFPs/NGOs can require travel, visiting sites, attending conferences/presentations, etc. To help plan out that process, your team can use travel templates to plan the trips, location, duration, and number of attendees. Along with that, refer to global rates for nightly accommodations, flights/train, car rentals, and per diems.
