United Way of Northwest Alabama Connects Community Through Effective Case Management Software  

CharityTracker.net Helps Community Assistance Organizations Share Resources and Stay Informed  

FLORENCE, Al., December 5, 2007 – The United Way of Northwest Alabama in Florence, Alabama (www.uwshoals.org) recognized a need to improve the way services were given out, and wanted to provide a way to work with churches and nonprofit social service organizations in its community more effectively. They looked to Simon Solutions (www.simonsolutions.com) to build them a unique, simple-to-use online case management solution that could be used by all organizations offering assistance in their community.CharityTracker.net (www.CharityTracker.net) was thus created and has since become the primary way that United Way and other local organizations track charitable services.

“This software has done something that nobody else has done in the community, says Tina Scott, executive director for United Way of Northwest Alabama. “In the past, getting everybody to work together was a problem. Now, CharityTracker.net provides us with a simple, inexpensive way to unify our community and get everyone on the same page. Not many organizations can say that they’ve brought together everyone from faith-based organizations to government agencies using one piece of software—it’s very unique.”

With United Way leading, CharityTracker.net has assisted them in connecting organizations such as the American Red Cross, Saint Vincent DePaul Ministries, Community Action Agency, the Alabama Public Department of Health, and community churches, just to name a few of the thirty plus organizations working together through CharityTracker.net in Alabama.“CharityTracker is making a real difference in the way that these charitable organizations are able to help those in need,” comments Mike Simon, President of Simon Solutions. “We are so pleased that this application is having an impact in the community and making it possible for more organizations to reinstitute assistance programs since it helps to cut down on fraud and conserve resources.”

Any verifiable 501c3 organization, agency, or religious organization with a benevolence program can purchase CharityTracker.net, which operates as a secure online network that organizations subscribe to and utilize over the Internet. There is no software to download, making this the perfect application for sharing information over multiple organizations and locations.
