Charities
Charities can achieve great advantage with the internet. Typically,
many volunteers are involved on a part-time or very occasional basis.
Charities tend to depend heavily on the goodwill of third parties. Any
money spent on administration means less money is spent on achieving
the charitable objective. Some of the ways the internet can benefit
charities and other non-profit making organisations are set out below.
Software Design UK is the creator of great web sites and bespoke software.
Cost cutting
When set up effectively, the internet can often be used to help
reduce the cost of administration. This can be achieved by facilitating
beneficiaries and donors to submit information for automatic
processing, and to provide information that otherwise would require
a costly human's time.
At Software Design UK, we can help identify procedures and information
suitable to achieve cost savings by use of the internet. We can also
train, supervise or implement any relevant systems to achieve the savings

Ease working "by committees"
Many functions of a charity are achieved through occasional involvement of
many people. This often builds in significant inefficiencies, wasting time
and often cost. The internet can be used to streamline collaborative working
through a series of techniques which rely on the centralisation of
documentation in one place on the internet, which is accessible at any
time, by any authorised person, anywhere.
We can help identify areas of support for collaborative working and implement
appropriate systems.

Fund-raising support
Fund raising can be supported in two key ways. Firstly, the internet
provides unparallelled opportunity to convey the objectives and achievements
of a charity, to encourage continued donation. Secondly, the
internet can be set up to facilitate donations and Gift Aid administration. This
can save administrative costs. On-line donation facilities allow donors
to give at any time that suits them, with minimum fuss, and with maximum
relevant information.
We can provide you with technical and tax support to implement any or all
aspects of internet giving.

Deliver charitable services
The internet is a perfect tool to deliver, at negligible cost, information.
For charities that provide information as part of their service delivery
to beneficiaries, the internet is a must.
We can provide training and supervision of staff to display information
in the most effective way for the charity. We can also set up systems
that automate uploading of information that requires regular update.
