There’s no doubt internet communication is changing all industries and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) are no exception. To keep up with the pace, NGOs can use digital media in so many ways. In this article, we look at the three main methods where organisations can leverage the power of digital solutions such as NGO Online to streamline operations.
1. Project and Programme Management
NGO software have been designed with private organisations in mind. They come with all the resources needed to manage the entire project and programmes. They offer easy access to project cycles, intranets, logframes, risk management, and decision logs tools for efficient monitoring and reporting. They also facilitate collaboration and communication for effective engagement with all stakeholders.
2. Fundraising
Non-government institutions need robust fundraising campaigns to sustain their operations, and nothing comes in handy in this digital world like NGO management platforms. They are feature-packed with grant and donor management tools for easy management of applications, grants, and fundraisers. They also have reporting and budget templates all in one place. Besides, they can sync with online donation platforms such as GiveWell, and GlobalGiving and crowdfunding platforms like KickStarter and GoFundMe.
3. Database Management
There’s a lot of data to be handled in civil society organisations. The best NGO platforms come with the required tools for document management, including templates, libraries, and access controls. They serve as a single source of information where the organisation can manage and store data and allow easy access to information. Importantly, they offer the required security and confidentiality.
The above are just some of the ways NGOs can leverage digital solutions in their efforts to promote social change, advocacy, and community mobilisation. Whether you are a local organisation, or an international organisation catering to diverse regions, digital tools are an asset.
