Charity Tracker

What makes the Faith in Action Fund unique is the use of Charity Tracker(tm) to match client needs with resources from many different faith communities and local non-profit organizations.  All of them can draw on the financial resources of the Faith in Action Fund to meet real needs of marginalized people.

So when a single organization attempts to help help people, like all charitable organizations it has 1.) donations coming in, 2.) potential clients, and 3.) assistance going out to clients.  The organization must screen the potential clients, identify their needs, and create some kind of record -- probably paper records for small organizations with limited funds.

Someone has to match up available resources (maybe money, maybe items or services) with the clients who need them.  This is a classic database task.  However, very few small faith communities or non-profit organizations can afford the technical expertise and equipment need to keep a modern computer database going.

That's where Charity Trackers helps, and that's how the Faith in Action Fund adds value to the donations of money and services that the faith communities and non-profits collect.  Not only does it keep track of donations and clients, it goes a long way to matching the clients' needs to the available resources.
