Keep Track of Your Assistance, Client Outcomes and Referrals to other providers!
Use Charity Tracker Case Management Software for Free.
Charity Tracker is a web-based shared case management software, used to track assistance and make electronic referrals, set goals and measure client outcomes. The reporting capabilities of the system make gathering and reporting statistical data for resource development and strategic planning simpler and easier. Charity Tracker enables multiple service providers to share a common, web-based database that tracks and records how families are receiving charitable assistance in real-time, which can help reduce duplication of services while increasing efficiency.
In some cases, Lake Area United Way can provide hardware to participating organizations demonstrating a need. Additionally, technical support and ongoing training are also provided at no cost.
