Unlocking flexibility and security with Apricot

As a nonprofit, you’re juggling a lot of priorities between program management and ensuring you have the data you need to report your activities and outcomes. With an impact scorecard, you can unlock greater impact and funding for your organization — and a centralized case management platform can make it easier.  

In this webinar, Christine (Chris) Parker Hunt, Senior Database Administrator for Wesley Housing dives into the evolution and benefits of using an impact scorecard. Plus, learn how the organization utilizes Bonterra Apricot to power their scorecard strategy.  

Discover the power of the nonprofit impact scorecard:  
- Improve service delivery: Support prioritization, grow programming, and motivate case workers by helping them easily see their data and progress. 
- Secure more funding: Improve reporting to expand your work and surpass your fundraising goals, especially with government funders. 
- Create stakeholder alignment: Keep key stakeholders aligned, from frontline workers to organization leadership to your board.

Discovering the power of the nonprofit impact scorecard

For years, we’ve seen thousands of nonprofits harness Bonterra Fundraising and Engagement software to drive incredible results. But many nonprofits don’t have the time, expertise, or resources to unlock the full potential of their data and tools.  

That’s why we launched our Enhanced and Premier Support packages — to bring you strategic coaching, advanced support consulting, live training, and priority support services so you can focus on hitting your fundraising and engagement goals. 

Check out this webinar for an in-depth look at our new offerings and learn how to choose the right support level for your nonprofit's needs.

- The key services that come with each support package, explained by coaches and experts with decades of nonprofit experience (the real people you’d be working with).
- How each offering adds value to your nonprofit and tips for choosing the right package for your team. 
- Success stories from your peers who use Enhanced and Premier Support today.

Your nonprofit’s annual report reimagined

Making a strong case to funders requires strong data to illustrate your impact. By collecting and tracking important program data, you can demonstrate your nonprofit’s success and qualifications, showcase your authority on the subject matter, and provide perspective on your impact through success stories. These three components, also known as the SAP model, require a foundation of effective data management to empower you to secure more funding.  

In this webinar, nonprofit expert Tiffany Allen shares how to effectively use her SAP model to make the most of your data to power your mission.   

After this webinar, you’ll understand:  
- The role of data in making the case for funding 
- What effective data management looks like  
- How to bring data to life for funders  

Bonterra Apricot is case management software that helps you streamline data management, making it easier to use the SAP model. We know combining tech and best practices can help you make the greatest impact, and we’re excited to help you get the most out of your data and case management software.

Leveraging program data to make a stronger case for funding

- Manage change from the c-suite to the breakroom: Break down silos between teams, create a culture of effective communication, and get ahead of potential dissent to set your organization up for long-term success.
