Not for profit
Collaborating for [ impact- driven ] solutions
As demand for their services increases, not-for-profit organisations are under increasing pressure to help their beneficiaries with fewer resources and reduced funds. Charity leaders need to plan to deliver services in new cost-effective ways, defend their benefactors from commercial competitors, and survive times of falling income from donors, fundraisers and government grant providers. When it comes to improving sustainability globally or addressing the cost of living crisis amongst other movements, not-for-profits need the right expertise to turn their strategies into realities – and then measure the impact their services create.
Since our inception in 2011, we have worked with over 60 charities and not-for-profit organisations. We make sure that charities and not-for-profits are equipped to unlock their true potential and can flourish long-term after we’ve worked with them. We work collaboratively with charities to provide strategic clarity on what truly matters – delivering quality experiences for their volunteers, donors, employees and supporters. Only then can we identify key areas for improvement – coordinating the use of people, data, and technology to prioritise what is necessary to realise these goals.
Clarasys recognises the value in your charitable mission and desired impact, and we believe we are the right people to work with you in engaging a new generation of donors, adapting to change, or improving your understanding of your customers and how you engage with them.
How we can help you
At Clarasys, our purpose is to make a difference in the way people live, work, and grow. In the non-for-profit sector, this means collaborating with charitable organisations to resolve their challenges, enabling them to sustainably deliver their desired impact to their beneficiaries.
In the face of abstraction destroying the core messages of charities’ purpose and missions, it is essential to ensure the vision and values of not-for-profit organisations are translated for a new, digital age. We can help to shape and embed a vision that aligns to the culture, values and strategic position of your organisation. We help to define a clear strategy of how your vision will be achieved, whilst balancing ambition, pragmatism and realism in the context of your not-for-profit.
Ensuring a positive digital donor and volunteering experience is more important than ever to allow not-for-profits to sustainably deliver on their mission. As charitable funding and engagement methods advance, Clarasys helps our not-for-profit clients understand how to enhance every stage of the user journey to increase conversion and strengthen loyalty. We put the needs of volunteers, supporters and users at the heart of a stand-out solution to ensure a positive experience.
